Seasonal Activity Chart
Pacific Halibut
The Pacific Halibut is a prized catch for anglers seeking a true trophy fish. Found in the icy waters of the North Pacific Ocean, from Alaska to the coasts of Washington and Oregon, this massive flatfish is known for its impressive size and delicious, firm white flesh. The challenge of landing a Pacific Halibut, often weighing hundreds of pounds, makes it a bucket-list species for many seasoned anglers.
Pacific Halibut Fishing in Seward
Seward offers world-class halibut fishing in the stunning backdrop of the Kenai Fjords National Park. Resurrection Bay provides relatively protected waters, making it a good option for anglers prone to seasickness, though venturing further offshore into the Gulf of Alaska can yield even bigger fish. The halibut season mirrors Homer's, running from May to September, with the best fishing typically in June and July. Focus your efforts on areas with strong tidal flow, such as the entrances to bays and along steep underwater ledges. Jigs and circle hooks baited with herring are the go-to methods. A local tip: use a GPS to mark productive spots, as halibut tend to congregate in specific areas. The fish in Seward tend to be plentiful, and while trophy sizes are possible, you'll find a good mix of smaller, more manageable halibut as well. Several charter operators run daily trips from Seward Harbor, providing everything you need for a successful day on the water.
