Fish Homer Charters
Depart out of Homer Harbor and go out onto the waters around China Poot Bay or beyond, depending on where the salmon are striking. The captain and guides at Fish Homer Charters lead you onto the ocean for silver, king and sockeye salmon, with full gear, tackle and fishing rods and reels.
Your guides assist in tackle selection, rigging the rods and bringing your catch into the boat with nets and gaffs. The specialty of Fish Homer is downrigger trolling, which runs between the months of May and September each season. Prepare for inclement weather and bring rain gear, rubber boots, hats and gloves. Filleting, smoking and shipping is arranged at the harbor docks, should you wish to send your catch home.

Bob's Trophy Charters
Former NFL player Larry Csonka once took 15th place in Homer's annual salmon fishing derby, catching a rare white king salmon that weighed in at 19.6 pounds, with Bob's Trophy Charters.
Your charter with Bob's takes you out to China Poot Bay, or to the open coast for king, silver or sockeye salmon, between the months of May and September. Bob's boats come equipped with downriggers and trolling gear, designed to maximize the salmon strikes during charters. Guides assist you with gaffing or netting your catch. Fish cleaning takes place on the boat, with filleting, smoking and shipping arranged back in town.
Keep your eyes open for orcas, humpback whales, sea otters and eagles during your charter trip.
