About
Our combo halibut and salmon fishing charter offers tremendous value as we fish for both halibut and salmon on the same full-day fishing excursion.
Halibut and king salmon (chinook) combo is available from the beginning of May through September. These fish will weigh anywhere from 25 lbs to 70 lbs or more. The best times for combo king salmon and halibut are from May 15 to August 15th.
Starting in mid-July silver salmon (coho) start to arrive in Kachemak Bay. Fishing peaks for these acrobatic fighters between July 15 and September 15th.
To optimize our fishing, we will troll for salmon during the peak current periods and anchor during the slack periods to target halibut on the bottom.
