What could be better than a day trip fishing for halibut or salmon
from Homer, Alaska? How about a multiple day trip. For anglers who are really serious about fishing, long range trips are a great way to go. Bring along your group of up to 6 and we will take you on a great long range trip - fishing, gear, meals and lodging on the boat are included. We are a legally permitted fishing charter
Homer Ocean has been operating overnight and multiple
day trips for over 10 years. In fact, we were instrumental in increasing the possession
limit of halibut to two daily limits. Every year we operate more long range trips
than any other operator in the Homer area. What this means to you is that we not
only know how and where to fish, we also are equipped to provide gourmet meals,
comfortable lodging, shore excursions, and we know how to have fun. An uptight
captain or rude crew can ruin even the best fishing trip, at Homer Ocean our staff is
professional, courteous, and safety oriented, but at the same time we strive to make sure
each guest has the most fun possible. People often ask, all things being equal, why
should we go with you? The answer is easy, because we have more fun.
On the first morning the crew will
familiarize you with the features of the boat and serve a breakfast
of juice, fruit, coffee, muffins and toast. The boat in this
case is the 50' Bay Explorer which is a fast, twin diesel, Delta Marine
vessel licensed for 34 passengers or if available the Outer Limits our 60 foot yacht. We limit these trips to your party of up to six guests. Due to the availability of halibut, rock fish, lingcod and silver salmon we usually recommend August for the very best long range fishing but trips can be arranged anytime during the summer season.
We'll
take you to areas beyond the range of the day trip fleet, to places that are rarely fished.
Since we have a limited number of people on the boat we can concentrate
on larger fish usually in shallow water for the ultimate fight.
The spacious deck and experienced crew make this fishing at its best.
You may keep the four halibut of your choice, we encourage catch and
release of large breeding fish. Also available are several species
of rock fish and ling cod (opens on July 1). We provide top quality tackle for
catching halibut however you may want to bring along your favorite
light tackle rod for some insane action. Starting around the
first of August we start catching silver salmon (Coho) on our long
range trips. This time of year we take along a shore launch
so we can follow the salmon on the incoming tides. There is
nothing like fishing these remote areas for salmon and halibut.
The crew serves you first class meals, baits your hook, cleans your
fish, even plays jokes on your buddy. In the evening we anchor
in calm protected coves where you can get a good night's sleep or you
can fish all night. We return to Homer around five p.m. on the
last day of your trip.
We
recommend 2-4 days for halibut fishing and a minimum of three days
if you want to add salmon fishing. These trips are not the least
expensive, they are simply the best. They include your fishing,
lodging, meals, and on board entertainment. Why go to a lodge
fishing when you can take the lodge fishing with you?
