Halibut
Seward, Alaska, is a world-renowned destination for Halibut fishing, offering access to productive grounds in the Gulf of Alaska. These flatfish giants can be targeted throughout the summer months, with the peak season generally running from May through September. The key to success is targeting areas with rocky bottoms and strong currents, where halibut lie in wait for their prey. Using heavy tackle and large baits, such as herring or salmon heads, is essential. Many anglers opt to fish with charter boats, as they have the knowledge and equipment to reach the most productive spots. A crucial tip: be prepared for long days on the water and potentially rough seas. The waters off Seward can be unpredictable, so always check the weather forecast before heading out. The Seward Boat Harbor is the main hub for halibut charters. Also, remember to check the regulations, as there are specific rules regarding size limits and allowable gear.
