>>1246006I never say for shark and catfishes. Lures for california halibut is the big thing here. The only better option is live bait but cut bait/deadbait doesn’t work nearly as well. From my understanding, jigging for fluke is also popular on the east coast. Fluke/halibut feed and hunt primarily by sight anyway so moving stuffs get them going.

Plenty of other mid size fishes are fished by lures as well such as bonito, barracuda, ling cod, etc...
