Halibut
Targeting halibut near Juneau offers the chance to land a true trophy. These fish are most active from May through September, with the warmer months generally producing the best action. Focus your efforts on deepwater areas with rocky bottoms and strong currents, such as around Shelter Island or Favorite Channel. Use heavy tackle and large baits such as salmon, herring, or octopus. A fish finder is essential for locating promising structure and concentrations of fish. One local trick is to drift with the current, bouncing your bait along the bottom. Be prepared for a tough fight, as halibut are incredibly strong. Public boat ramps in Auke Bay and Douglas provide access to the productive halibut grounds. Remember to check the regulations for size and possession limits before heading out.
