Halibut fishing opinions?

Halibut fishing is a mild addiction of mine, and by mild i mean it's November and I'm already planning for halibut fishing in May. I'm fly fishing for steelhead and I'm thinking about halibut. Halibut halibut halibut.

Having a 150lb+ fish tow you a mile in 3ft chop in a pontoon boat is as much of a challenge of tarpon to a fly or tuna to a fly. And you can HARPOOOON them.

How do you prefer to fish halibut? I've always had a preference for static baits, motionless for hours until tick, tick, VROOOM battle royale. But most prefer drifting, covering a lot of ground while jigging a bait or leadhead. Yes the drift avoids crabs chewing up baits, and flounder (sometimes), but it doesn't feel as classic to me, no dramatic tension. And static baits allow for a chance at skate, big skate. I've caught halibut in dozens of ways, but i'm pretty set in my ways now, and it has always worked for me.

What's your method? And don't bother me with ideas of trolling for halibut, i'm tired of hearing about it and how well it works for some, you're missing the point of bottomfishing.
