Halibut & Salmon Fishing in Homer Alaska
Lingcod and Rockfish Combos Available Too

Homer Alaska is the "Halibut Fishing Capital of the World." 
The Halibut Limit is 2 Halibut Per Person Per Day. With Bob’s, you can catch as many as you are able to reel in and we’ll release the ones you don’t want, but according to AK fish and game, you can keep two halibut of any size to take home with you at the end of the day. Fish with Bob’s for your halibut which can sometimes be caught the size of a “barn door.” Bob’s fishermen have landed many halibut that weigh in the 100-300 pound range! Wow! They are huge fish! Don’t forget to enter into the Homer Halibut Derby so when you catch “a big one” you’ll have a chance to win those prizes that can add up to big bucks! A member of the flounder family, pacific halibut are great to eat and average in size from 20-40 pounds, which are the younger, tender ‘good eating’ sizes.

Great Ling Cod fishing

Come along and help Bob’s Trophy Charters break the current state record by catching a halibut that weighs 450lbs!! You never know which fish will bite your line and wouldn’t that be exciting for us all to see? No matter what size fish you catch, you’ll be sure to have fun fishing with our terrific crew! Go for it!

Ocean-run Salmon are available for fishing year round in Kachemak Bay. Ocean “Spawner” Kings are fished May through July. Silvers are hot in late July through early September. Ocean “Feeder” Kings are a young, great tasting fish and they are available all summer. For that matter, they can be fished in the winter as well especially during our yearly Winter King Tournament in March. This year for the tournament we hosted NFL “Hall of Famer” Larry Csonka along with Audrey Bradshaw from NAPA's TV show “North to Alaska.” Larry took 15th place in the derby when he caught a rare White King weighing 19.6 lbs. Audrey also landed a king weighing 17.16 lbs. and we were thrilled. There were 855 anglers, and this year only 75 fish were caught and 2 were landed on the Huntress! All of our boats are equipped to fish for salmon with downriggers and trolling gear. If you’d like to combo for salmon and halibut, we can do that, but please arrange for that with us in advance. Ask your captain about limits as which varies per species and location.

Lingcod season opens July 1st. Lingcod is a delicacy and delicious to eat but they sure are ugly looking fish! They are round and long and must be 34 inches to keep. The lingcod limit is 2 per person. Lingcod hide in rocky areas and bite on jigs. They are a lot of fun to catch and many anglers combo for halibut and lingcod. Since lingcod are available only in certain areas, the weather must be favorable for the boats to get to their lingcod spots. If you can’t get down there, you will surely catch your halibut and we will refund the cost of the combo ($50.00 additional per person on our six pack boats).

Rockfish such as black bass are also found in Kachemak bay waters. They are light weight and usually fished as a halibut combo trip. Ask about limits since it varies according to the type of rockfish caught.

Gear and bait are provided as well as any instruction or assistance you need, plus we fillet your fish for free. Our vessels have heated cabins and toilet facilities. It is best to wear warm clothing, rubber soled shoes and bring rain gear (just in case). All our captains are friendly, knowledgeable about the fisheries, and have experience navigating our Alaskan waters. The boats have GPS and Depth Sounders, and all the necessary equipment to make your fishing charter productive, fun and safe.
