About This Adventure
Join Captain Ally Kintner aboard the Beau Soleil, a 35-foot fishing vessel, for an unforgettable halibut and salmon fishing adventure. With her extensive local knowledge and passion for the sea, you'll enjoy a unique experience while targeting abundant fish in the stunning waters of Lower Cook Inlet and Kachemak Bay.
Join Capt. Brian and crew to get you the best combo of fish all in one trip!
Halibut/ Salmon Combos
- When we start fishing in early spring the first fish we target are the feeder king salmon and the halibut, so combining the trip for both species gives you a great combo experience and the chance to put some delicious fresh fish on your table after a long winter. As the season draws on, the halibut/salmon combo changes with the salmon season.
