Salmon Fishing Alaska |
The
Homer area offers some of the finest salt water salmon fishing around.
We
troll for salmon most of the season, spring is a great time to get in
some fishing for feeder kings, these are salmon that are just feeding
in our area but will actually spawn in rivers elsewhere. Around
late June we start catching the big spawning kings including
the trophy Kenai River fish. In Homer we have the advantage
of having all of the King Salmon runs in Cook Inlet come right by
our doorstep. What this means to you is that we are fishing
several runs of fish at one time increasing your chances of success.
We catch big spawners right on into July with feeder kings also available
the whole time.
In late July and August we have several runs of the scrappy Silver Salmon in the area. The last week in July and first three weeks of Augustt generally have the best Silver Salmon fishing and have historically coincided with a strong showing of feeder kings. Good numbers of pink and sockeye salmon are also available at different times during the summer. Most of our salmon fishing is done by trolling bait or lures near shore. We are usually in the protected waters of Kachemak Bay, a short distance from Homer. At times we use downriggers, other times we use trolling weights or divers, it depends on the depth of the fish, on occasion we mooch. We offer combination trips fishing for halibut and salmon the same day for just a few dollars more than a one species trip. Combination trips available for groups of four or more only. Combinations are $285 per person with a minimum of 4.
Our complete vacation packages can contain fresh water salmon fishing for all species of salmon from power boats and/or drift boats. We have tremendous trout fishing in the area from drift boats on the upper Kenai River and by using float planes to fly to remote locations. Vacation packages also allow you ample time to browse through our wonderful selection of Homer Ocean shirts and hats, you could get all of your Christmas shopping done right in our office, what a concept!
