Homer Fishing Regulations

These regulations are published for 2023. We will continue to monitor the Homer fishing regulations and update this page as frequently as possible, but all anglers should consult any current regulations statuses through the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s website.

Additionally, charter boats are not allowed to fish halibut on Wednesdays and the following Tuesdays: June 20, June 27, July 4, July 11, July 18, July 25, August 1, August 8, and August 15. The rockfish  limit is 3 per day 6 in possession, of which only 1 per day, 2 in possession can be nonpelagic. Lingcod opener is July 1. The lingcod limit is up to 2 per person, depending on the area fished and based on current regulations made by ADF&G.

Pre purchase your required Alaska Fishing License before embarking on our Homer fishing trips. In Alaska, a license is required to participate in sport, commercial, and personal use fishing; and sport fish guiding or hunting guiding. Licenses are available for residents, non-residents, members of the military, and residents who are Disabled Veterans or who are age 60 or older. Most licenses, as well as a king salmon stamp, can be purchased online or you can find them at local retailers.
