Pacific Halibut
Homer, Alaska, the 'Halibut Fishing Capital of the World,' lives up to its name. The waters of Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet teem with these massive flatfish. The season generally runs from May to September, with peak fishing occurring mid-June through August. Expect a longer boat ride than some other Alaskan ports, but the rewards are worth it: halibut here average larger than elsewhere, and trophy-sized fish exceeding 100 pounds are common. Focus on areas with strong currents and structure, such as underwater pinnacles and drop-offs. Using circle hooks with large baits like herring or salmon bellies is standard practice. A local trick: try adding a scent attractant to your bait. Many experienced anglers swear by it. Be aware of the regulations regarding size limits and closures, which can change frequently. Chartering a boat with a seasoned captain is highly recommended, especially for first-timers.
