Halibut
Halibut fishing out of Anchorage requires a bit of a boat trip, but the reward is well worth the effort. While you won't find halibut right in Anchorage proper, venturing out into Cook Inlet and towards the Gulf of Alaska opens up some incredible opportunities. The season generally runs from spring through fall, with peak fishing occurring in the summer months. Focus your efforts on areas with rocky bottoms and strong currents, as these are prime feeding grounds for halibut. Using heavy tackle and bait like salmon or herring is essential. Deep-water jigging can also be effective. Whittier, a short drive south of Anchorage, is a popular departure point for halibut charters and private boats. Be prepared for long days on the water and potentially rough seas. The halibut in this area are known for their impressive size, with many fish exceeding 100 pounds. Always check the ADF&G regulations for size and bag limits, as well as any gear restrictions.
