Halibut Combo Fishing Trips — Homer Alaska Fishing Charters
Description of Halibut Combo Trip
Homer, Alaska fishing charters are great year around, but we especially enjoy Halibut Combo Trips where we fish for halibut and another species. The additional species we focus on depends on the time of year and regulations. We may split the day between trolling for salmon and jigging for halibut or we might be targeting halibut and Pacific cod.
This full day charter takes you out to choice fishing locations traveling between 30-50 miles out of Homer. Our captains will use their expert skills to put you on some nice fish. Whatever your fishing experience level, both captains are great with teaching how to fish properly for these species. Helpful deckhands are on board to help keep gear in the water. There are different techniques to fish bottom-feeding halibut and saltwater salmon and we’ll show you exactly what you need to know. We look forward to sharing a memorable day on the water with you.
Three of our four vessels will be based in Homer for the majority of the season.
