Types
Fishing charters are the most convenient way to go fishing in Homer, an old fishing town on the coast. There are half-day, full-day and some multi-day trips available. The trips include fishing, meals and lodging, as well as fish processing.
Limits
The limit on Halibut is two per day per person on a boat. A large Halibut can put up a good fight, and can take an hour or more to bring in, so catching two in the same day would be quiet a workout.
Licensing
Anyone 16 or older must have a fishing license. You must have a stamp to fish for King Salmon. People under 16 do not need a license but must have a harvest card. Licenses are available for one, three and seven days, as well as annually.
Combo trips
You may book a fishing trip that includes ocean kayaking, bear watching or any other activity.
The ride
From Homer to the fishing grounds is at least a one-hour ride by boat. Along the way you'll see beautiful coastline and a myriad of wildlife.
