About
Experience the anticipation and excitement over what size halibut might bite your line! Bob’s Trophy Charter's anglers have landed many halibut that vary in weight from 15-300 pounds!
Fish for a full day with friendly crews and have a great time! Our captains take our anglers to where they know the sizes of fish the areas usually produce, trying for their best catches. Halibut are bottom feeders and depending upon the 'luck of the draw' and the weather, plus some skill handling the tides, our anglers have found success with catching the bigger ones, but- fishing is fishing! Not everyone brings a big one home.
We use heavy tackle for success since your halibut can sometimes be caught the size of a 'barn door.' Come and experience the anticipation and the excitement about what size halibut might bite your line! We fish with boats that are spacious, with a heated cabin and marine toilet on board.
