Halibut & Salmon Fishing with North Country Charters in Homer

Situated on the southern tip of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, Homer is a rugged gateway to the Gulf of Alaska and a world-renowned fishing destination. North Country Charters offers anglers a fleet of vessels—including the Longshot, Beau Soleil, Storm Petrel, Irish, and Tuff Stuff—each outfitted for serious halibut and salmon fishing adventures. The waters here teem with giant Pacific halibut and wild Pacific salmon, making it one of the top fishing regions in the United States.

North Country Charters crafts trips ranging from half-day halibut excursions up to full-day combo trips that target both salmon and halibut. The experience begins well before casting your line, as you traverse offshore grounds known for complex underwater topography—rocky reefs, deep basins, and submarine canyons—that create feeding hotspots for these prized fish. The company’s seasoned captains possess intimate knowledge of Homer’s fishing grounds, adapting to daily tides and weather to ensure a productive outing.

Fishing here isn’t just about the catch—it’s about reading the conditions, battling strong currents, and soaking in the Alaskan coastal landscape of rugged islands, distant glaciers, and soaring bald eagles. Whether you target halibut dangling 200-pound plus monsters from ocean depths or the lively runs of sockeye and coho salmon threading through tidal channels, the variety of trips offered by North Country Charters allows every angler to dial their trip according to skill and ambition.

The Kenai Peninsula’s location at the confluence of temperate rainforest and marine ecosystems makes this more than a fishing trip—it’s a direct encounter with the raw power of Alaska’s outdoors. For anyone serious about hooking quality fish in a dramatically beautiful setting, North Country Charters offers an authentic, hands-on experience that’s hard to match elsewhere.
