I have heard about a guy who put a cut-off wolfie head to his nose and was biten. But I definately would not try to check its bite.
For halibut hunting I choose narrow inlets or straits, with strong current. Best case is if most part of it isnt deeper then 20m (this is my freediving comfort zone). Other signs for best place is schools of baitfish. But that is not a guarantee to see some halibut. This summer I was diving 12 days and saw only 2 halibutsat on the same day (3 baby ones does not count).
