Seasonal Activity Chart
Halibut
Targeting halibut around Old Harbor offers a unique Alaskan fishing experience. The key is understanding the seasonal movements of their forage. As the waters warm in late spring (May-June), halibut move into shallower areas to feed on herring, salmon smolt, and other baitfish. Focus your efforts around underwater structures, channels, and along the edges of steep drop-offs. Natural presentations like circle hooks baited with salmon, herring, or cod are highly effective. Be prepared to adjust your depth frequently based on water temperature and current; halibut often hold tight to the bottom. The local halibut fishery is known for producing some truly massive fish, but be aware of regulations regarding size limits and allowable gear. Access to productive halibut grounds is relatively easy from Old Harbor, with several charter options and boat ramps available.
