Halibut fishing in the Gulf of Alaska

We enjoyed a cool and rainy Sunday here in Homer.  Bob, Bobby, and Don went down to the end of the Spit to try a little surf fishing.  Fishing was pretty good though we employed “catch and release” for those fish not wanting to clean them in the rain.  

All were up quite early Monday (5 A.M.) and off to do some halibut fishing out in the Gulf of Alaska.  We boarded the Nauti-Lady and headed out about 27 miles.  We all caught our limit of two halibut as we share with you below.  We arrived back around noon and headed to Coal Point Fish Processing with about 50 pounds of fresh halibut.  Bobby will be shipping it home via FEDEX tomorrow morning.


Tuesday will find us moving north again to center Kenai as we plan one more fishing trip on Wednesday on the Kenai River for salmon and trout.

Departing Homer at 7:10 AM
