Bat Ray
Wait, Bat Rays in Homer, Alaska? It’s a bit of a trick – these aren’t your typical Bat Rays. What locals jokingly call 'Bat Rays' are actually Pacific Halibut, specifically the smaller, diamond-shaped ones that can be mistaken for rays by novice anglers. Targeting these 'Bat Rays' in Kachemak Bay can be surprisingly fun, especially if you're new to halibut fishing. The best time to target them is during the summer months (June-August) when the halibut are actively feeding. Focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms, typically in depths of 50-150 feet. A local tip is to use a circle hook with a combination of herring and squid for bait. Be prepared for a fight, even the smaller halibut can put up a good struggle! You can launch from the Homer harbor, but be mindful of the tides and currents in the bay. Remember to check the Alaska Department of Fish and Game regulations for halibut before you go.
