Pacific Halibut
Kodiak Island is a prime location for targeting Pacific Halibut, offering access to productive fishing grounds in the Gulf of Alaska. The rugged coastline and abundant marine life contribute to a healthy halibut population. The peak season is generally from May to September, with June and July often producing the largest fish. Focus your efforts on areas with rocky bottoms, deep channels, and strong currents. Look for spots where baitfish congregate, as halibut will follow their food source. Circle hooks with large herring or salmon bellies are the standard bait. A local tip for Kodiak: Pay close attention to weather forecasts, as conditions can change rapidly in the Gulf of Alaska. Many experienced anglers recommend fishing the areas around the numerous islands surrounding Kodiak, as they provide some protection from the open ocean swells. Halibut in this region can reach impressive sizes, with many fish exceeding 100 pounds.
