Seasonal Activity Chart
Halibut
Point Roberts offers a strategic location for targeting halibut in the Strait of Georgia. Its proximity to productive halibut grounds makes it a popular starting point. The prime season is generally from May through September, coinciding with halibut migrations and feeding patterns. Halibut fishing here requires patience and the right gear. Focus on areas with strong currents and varying depths, particularly around structure like humps and drop-offs. A local tip: many anglers have success drifting large baits like herring or salmon bellies near the bottom. Be prepared for strong tides and currents, which can significantly impact your drift. The Point Roberts Marina provides convenient access to the water, but be sure to book your moorage in advance, especially during peak season. Always consult the latest WDFW regulations for halibut seasons, size limits, and gear restrictions in Marine Area 7.
