Fishing in Homer

Homer calls itself the “Halibut Fishing Capital of the World”. The town sits at the end of the Kenai Peninsula on Kachemak Bay, with the Homer Spit and its harbor reaching four miles into the bay and Cook Inlet beyond.

Halibut

Most Homer charters target Pacific halibut, fishing the deep water of Cook Inlet and the outer bay. Fish of over 100 pounds are caught every season, and boats often add rockfish and lingcod to the day.

Salmon

King salmon are caught in the bay — including “feeder” kings in the colder months — and silver salmon in late summer. The Fishing Hole on the Homer Spit is a popular spot to catch returning salmon from shore.

Good to know

Alaska requires a fishing license, and a king salmon stamp if you fish for kings. Halibut limits for charter anglers are set every year by federal rules — your captain will explain the current limits. Most boats can arrange cleaning, freezing and shipping of your catch.

Best time to go

Halibut season runs from about May to September, with June to August the busiest and most popular months. Silver salmon arrive in late summer; winter offers feeder king salmon trips on calm days.
