Kodiak Island
Halibut fishing
Halibut
fishing is one of the most exciting saltwater adventures that Alaska has to
offer. If barn-door halibut are what you are after then Kodiak
Adventures located in Larsen Bay Alaska is the place for you. The best
thing about halibut fishing here is that we do not have far boat rides or
super deep water to fish like other places in Alaska. Most of our fishing is
done in protected bays that average 60-180 feet deep. Halibut fishing
starts in June and runs thru December, with the peak time July and August.
The average halibut weighs 50 pounds with 150 pound fish common and a 400+
pound fish possible. After
a day of water fowling what could be better than dropping a jig into the
depths, to fight the mighty Halibut. The fall and winter are not the
best time to fish for these wonderful fighters, but these tasty game fish
are available through out the year. Halibut are caught in 75-175 ft of
water on rocky bottoms and ledges of the surrounding bays. Winter
halibut are not as big as the summer fish, only weighing 15-25 lbs, but
that's fine as this size fish are the best eating.

Salt Water Salmon Fishing Larsen Bay Alaska
Silver
salmon kick off the saltwater salmon fishing here in early August lasting in
September. These acrobatic aggressive fish travel in large schools and
average 10-15 pounds. We troll cut
plug herring and spoons to locate
the fish then use fly rods and light spinning rods to spice up the fun.
The limit is five fish per person per day and limits are the
norm, fresh
salmon is not a problem here. Kings, did somebody say kings?
Yes, that's right salt water kings start showing up here in mid September
and the bite is on thru January. We troll for these monster salmon and
the best thing about king fishing that the best fishing in within sight of
the lodge.
These fish average 20 - 25 pounds and 30-40 pound
fish caught each year. To fish for kings you will need a king stamp
that is available in Kodiak. After a morning of duck or deer hunting
take a hour and relax while trolling for the King of Salmon.
