Our halibut fishing trips begin at 7 AM when we leave the Homer harbor. After a brief safety orientation we may stop outside the harbor to jig some cod before heading for the halibut grounds. Once during the 1997 season, we caught a 37# king salmon while fishing for bait! Depending on the tide, we’ll run one to one and a half hours where we’ll alternately anchor and drift a variety of spots. Some anglers prefer to target the average sized halibut (20-40#) and enjoy the action this provides, while others have a “barn door” in mind. These large fish can literally bring grown adults to their knees. It can take a full day to recover from the battle. The limit is two halibut per person and you must hook your own fish. Our job is to coach you and help you accomplish this goal. The reward is many fine meals of boneless white halibut fillets. After photographing your catch, you can sit back and enjoy the ride back to Homer while the crew fillets your catch. We’ll arrive back in Homer between 4 and 5 p.m.

The halibut catches get bigger as the fish make their seasonal migration. The season ranges from April through September. We look forward to making your halibut trip an unforgettable Alaskan adventure!
