Found it! Salena Xenistius californiensis "often mistaken for a juvenile Striped Bass"

Seaslug,
Some of the guys that fish Cherry Beach for halibut will catch their bait at the pier beforehand. They will keep salema's and queenfish if they catch them, and my friend says they are some prime halibut baits.

I used to fish Belmont Pier a lot - never saw a salema. How big a bait will you use for Halibut?

I like the baits to be about 5 or maybe 6 inches long. Most of the 'dines and smelts will be in this range, and they work good. Live bait may have the edge for 'butts, but I still like using plastics for them.

Yeah, the Salema make great halibut bait.

I've caught them off Belmont pier and used them in HH. I've used some of the larger ones 7-8" and have had halibut maybe 12" or so hitch a ride all the way back to the yak.
