Highlights
Outing Highlights
Halibut First, Salmon or Rockfish as Conditions Allow
The combo targets halibut as the principal quarry and fishes for salmon or rockfish depending on weather and the chosen fishing grounds, so you’ll experience multiple fisheries in a single eight‑hour outing.
Room to Fish — Six‑Person Limit
Trips are capped at six anglers, which provides a spacious working deck and improves each participant’s opportunity to fish unhindered.
Launching from Homer for Open‑Coast Fishing
The trip departs from Homer and runs to the local fishing grounds, so the day blends harbor departure routines with open‑water fishing for larger bottom species.
