About
Yellow-eye Rockfish: Daniel’s favorite fish to eat these brightly-colored orange fish can get up to 40 pounds and live up to 100 years. They’re a deep water rockfish that entails traveling to the Gulf of Alaska to find them. The limit is 1 per person per day.
Salmon Shark: What a thrill to have one of these monsters on the line. They get up to 8 feet long and weigh up to 800 lbs. Although hard to get in the boat Daniel and his client have landed a 185 pounder on 20lb test hooked in the tail. What a fight! Hard to target because not concentrated in any one area so we just come across them every once in a while. Good to eat, you can keep 1 per day and 2 per year.
Other: Other sea life encountered in the Kachemak Bay/Cook Inlet Area are Black Sea Bass, Dolly Varden, Pacific True Cod, Pollock, Kelp Greenling, and Irish Lords. Most of these are wonderful eating fish and fun to catch.
Crab: There are 3 varieties of crab in Kachemak Bay: Tanner, Dungeness and King crab. Tanner Crab are the only species that are open from October 1st – February 28th.

Highlights
Homer's nickname is the "Halibut Fishing Capital of the World". There's a good reason for it. Halibut are usually targeted from around April to November but can be caught year round with the exception of the month of January when the season is closed. Their average weight is 20 lbs. but may get as large as 300-400 lbs. The limit for halibut is 2 fish per person per day.
