Fishing in Homer, Alaska

Homer, the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World, offers so many choices!  

Homer, the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World, offers so many choices! Fish from a bank, from a boat or both! Fly in, float out or hike! Fish with your own poles, rent poles or use the complete gear your charter or guide provides! Fish for halibut, salmon rockfish, lingcod, dolly varden, steelhead and more. Homer even has non-traditional “fishing”, such as clams, mussels and oysters!

Whatever your fishing expectations, you can do it in or from Homer. You can even bring your own boat and launch from Homer’s safe and convenient harbor.

Fishing is not just a sport in Homer, but it’s a fun way to spend the day, see Alaska, enjoy your family and the great outdoors.

Weather & Tides

When fishing, clamming, or walking the shores of Homer, it's important to watch the tides and weather. Remember to be cautious of the high tide differentials! Our website conveniently offers NOAA's tide predictions for the current year by month, day, and hour.

Licenses

All fishing requires a sport-fishing license, so check with Alaska Department of Fish and Game to secure the correct license, and you NEVER go halibut fishing without your Derby Ticket.
