Halibut
Targeting halibut out of Sitka offers a unique Alaskan experience. The deep, cold waters surrounding the islands hold some truly massive fish. Prime time is generally May through September, aligning with the halibut's peak feeding season and more stable weather. Focus your efforts on areas with significant current and depth changes, such as underwater pinnacles and the edges of channels. Halibut are ambush predators, so these areas provide ideal hunting grounds. A local tip: pay close attention to your sonar for bait balls, as halibut won't be far behind. For access, the public boat launch in Sitka is a great starting point, but be prepared for a run to reach the prime halibut grounds further offshore. The halibut here are known for their size, with many fish exceeding 100 pounds, so be sure your gear is up to the task!
