Homer, Alaska Halibut

Northwest Fishing is in Homer, Alaska for some bigtime bottomfishing! On Cook Inlet, we’re on a mission to catch halibut and whatever else bites. Our expert guide, Keith Johansson from Alaska Kenai Adventures, shares insights about the local fishing scene and what to expect on this all-inclusive fishing trip.

As we get out on the water aboard the Sea Hunter, Captain Jeremy and Rachael guide us through the techniques needed to catch these magnificent halibut. We discuss the use of Kodiak Customs Jigs, which are a local favorite for attracting halibut, and we hope to reel in the famed “chicken halibut”—a term for the smaller, delicious halibut that are perfect for the dinner table. We also venture into rock fishing, and even get a gorgeous yelloweye.
