It’s been awhile and charters change over time I been thinking about a halibut rockfish lingcod charter out of Homer for myself and a few other whos the go to charter operators down there these days?

Get ahold of family trapper, he might take you for free!

Try to find someone to take you out as a friend rather than on a charter. I'm not sure what the regs are in the Homer area, but at least in some areas in recent years, there have been slot limits and a catch limit of only one halibut a day on charter boats, whereas private boat fishermen are allowed two per day, any size.

Hi Todd, here’s a friend of mine, whom I highly recommend.

Charter

We had a great multi species trip with Alaska ocean pros last year. They run some nice catamarans

Keyo's Charter. Life long trappers and charter operators.

Sadly the size of Halibut is nowhere near what it was several years ago. I've heard numerous explanations for this but the days of catching "Barn Doors" is apparently gone. Average size Halibut today out of Homer is pretty tiny. And King's are disappearing.

She ain't what she used to be.

That is what my grandpa always says. We all have to remember, we are talking about how big the fish was, that we caught. Just saying

I went with Jake's Saltwater adventures this summer. They have 2 boats and we went with Jake's dad Mark. Great people and we had an awesome trip. 90 lbs was our biggest. So many different fish while rock fishing to.

Our King runs are dismal, but our silver runs are pitiful. Both closed again. Fortunately, the tourist won't find the word closed ( there would be a lot of that ) in the Regulation book. They will find out when they get here.

No halibut in Bristol bay?

^^^^
This was out in front of Egigik two summers ago. As far as I know there is absobutely zero sport fishing going on in Bristol Bay. There's an opportunity for someone.

Nice

Making meat. Nice fish, waggler.

Are those flat belugas?

That is the other white meat. I love seeing them brown down.

Unfortunately, that wasn't on my boat. A friend of mine was crewing on that boat for sockeye. I think they were fishing under a village quota, he may have commercial halibut quota though, I'm not sure which.
Regardless, there seems to be a virtually unexploited resource there.

Had halibut a couple times on my recent trip to Alaska. Was very good. Not wilderness but heading to the west side of Michigan (Lake Michigan) for a lake trout and salmon charter next week. Thank you for sharing the picks. The abundance of wildlife in Alaska blew me away on my trip. Fly fished and caught my first Arctic Grayling. That was very cool!
