Alaskan halibut fishing in 2007 was one of
our best seasons ever!
The
Alaska Halibut is One
Serious Fish!
Every spring,
our inland waters explode with an abundance of bait fish, which attracts
schools of Alaskan halibut, ranging in size from 10 pounds to 400 pounds.
These halibut rise from ocean depths of over 1000 feet to as little
as 50 feet of water in search of bait as they begin their frenzied feast.
Alaska halibut are some of the finest athletes in the sea. With no body
fat and pure muscle, these rod-straining fish can exhaust you by their
brute strength as they fight you back to the bottom. We
invite you to try your luck, with the assistance of our highly
trained crew, in landing these robust monsters.
Sport-caught
Alaskan halibut have weighed over 400 pounds. The typical fish caught
on our fishing charters weigh between 20 and 80 pounds, with many fish
over 100 pounds brought in daily. On September 16, 2004, we broke our
halibut record of 269 pounds with a whopping 348-pound lunker caught
on a 24-ounce jig.

Your
Seward Alaska Halibut Fishing Trip
We recognize
that you’ve invested a lot to make your Alaska halibut fishing
trip possible and we work very diligently to have your dream come true.
From the most experienced angler to the fishing novice, we can provide
as much or as little gentle guidance as you’d like.
On your
halibut charter out of Seward, you will travel forty to sixty miles
from Seward’s small boat harbor to the most prolific Alaska halibut
fishing grounds and fish in depths of 50 to 350 feet. The catch limit
for halibut fishing is two per person per day. Even though there is
no size minimum for sport-caught halibut fishing, we strongly recommend
that you not keep halibut less than 32 inches in length (which is the
length minimum for commercially-landed fish), so we can all do our part
to maintain this precious resource. You are also welcome to fish “catch
and release.” We also encourage you to keep only the amount of
fish you can reasonably eat or share through the winter.
