Halibut
Targeting barn-door halibut around Cold Bay? You're in the right place. This area is a halibut hotspot due to the rich feeding grounds where the Bering Sea meets the Pacific. Early season (May-June) often finds halibut closer to shore as they follow spawning baitfish. Later in the season, they tend to move into deeper waters. Natural presentations are key; large jigs tipped with salmon or herring work wonders. Pay close attention to water temperature and current – halibut will often be on the down-current side of structure. A good access point is the Cold Bay pier, but a boat is essential to reach the most productive halibut grounds. Be aware that tides can be extreme here, so plan your trips accordingly and always prioritize safety.
