ULTIMATE Long Range Combo’s– do it all in one Day!
- Imagine the chance to fish for everything seasonably available all in one day! This Ultimate Combo is a longer range day trip taking you down through the beautiful Chugach or Barren Islands where the bottom is rockier and the fishing more diverse.
- Here you have the opportunity to fish away from the daily charter fleet and have access to possibly larger halibut, fight a lingcod on a jig, catch a variety of rockfish or get lucky with silver or king salmon! There is always a chance of watching whales up close and personal. This is the Ultimate in day fishing out of Homer.
Halibut/ Salmon Combos
- When we start fishing in early spring the first fish we target are the feeder kingsalmon 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.
