California Halibut
Seward, Alaska, provides access to the productive halibut fishing grounds of Resurrection Bay and the Gulf of Alaska. Here, you'll be targeting Pacific halibut, not California halibut. This area is known for its stunning scenery and abundant marine life, including whales, sea otters, and seabirds, making for a memorable fishing experience. The best time to target halibut in Seward is from May to September, with the peak typically occurring in June and July. Access to the fishing grounds is primarily by boat, with numerous charter operators offering trips. For independent boaters, the Seward harbor provides excellent launching facilities. A local tip: halibut often congregate around underwater structure like rocky pinnacles and ledges. Use a good quality depth finder to locate these areas. Be mindful of the weather conditions, as the Gulf of Alaska can be unpredictable, and always check the latest fishing regulations before heading out.
