Seasonal Activity Chart
Halibut
The waters surrounding Auke Bay are renowned for their Halibut fishing. These flatfish giants can be found on the bottom in depths ranging from 100 to 300 feet or more. The prime season is typically from May through September, when the weather is favorable and the halibut are actively feeding. Focus your efforts on areas with structure, such as underwater pinnacles and drop-offs. Large jigs tipped with bait, or whole herring on a circle hook, are effective. Be prepared for a long fight, as halibut are incredibly strong. The Auke Bay harbor provides access to the fishing grounds. A crucial tip is to pay attention to the tides, as halibut often feed more aggressively during tide changes. The halibut population in this area is robust, offering anglers a good chance at landing a trophy-sized fish. Always practice safe fishing techniques when targeting these powerful fish.
