With Capt. Mike's Charters, Homer, Alaska
 Halibut Fishing is a dream come true for the avid fisherman and novice
alike. The fish are plentiful, with lots of biting action and often a big lunker will take
the line. Halibut fishing is bottom fishing and it is helpful to keep your bait moving to
entice the flat creature. The halibut has eyes on the top of it's head and is gazing
around watching for your bait.  Before a big fish is brought on
board the skipper or mate will often shoot the fish to keep it from
dangerously flopping about on the deck and then club the fish. Don't be alarmed, this is
for your safety. A halibut is almost all muscle and a very strong animal indeed. Often
other fascinating creatures are brought on board: black bass, gray cod,  ling cod, octopus,
Irish lords (often called the "mother in
law" fish because of their very large mouths), skates, salmon and an occasional
shark. You never know what that tug on the line is going to bring.

You will need an Alaskan Fishing License for
halibut fishing even in ocean waters. We will have them available on the
"Wildcat" in the morning. They are also available at sporting goods stores and
the major grocery store in town. You will need a salmon stamp if you will be fishing for
King Salmon.
