January:

Winter King Salmon trolling in Kachemak Bay. Cold weather but good fishing and scenery. Trolling usually for 6-8 hours a day. Halibut season is closed during the month of January so the main focus of these trips is the highly sought after Winter White King Salmon. During this time of the year one in three King Salmon is a delectable shade of white meat.

February:

The first strike at the Pacific Halibut in the Kachemak Bay happens February 1. In addition to the phenomenal Winter King Salmon fishing you can take advantage of the deep water winter halibut fishing. These trips generally are split up between 4 hours of King Salmon Trolling and four hours of Giant Pacific Halibut fishing depending on the tides. The start time of these trips is constantly changing due to the tide shifts.

March:

The Winter King Salmon fishing kicks into high gear during the first weekend in March. The weather warms up and gives us some calm sunny days. March is the peak month for Winter King Salmon trolling, the fish are in and the fish coutnts are up. The world famous Winter King Salmon tournament takes place during the last weekend in March.

April:

There are always a variety of fish in April. The rockfish limits are up to 10 and the Halibut are showing up in the shallow water. The weather is nice during the day in April and we experience quite a few calm sunny days. Early season Black Bear hunting on the coast around Seldovia is often productive.

May:

In the first week of May we take the voyage from Homer to Seward. The fishing in between the two locations is absolutely amazing. There are island coasts along the north gulf coast that have virtually no fishing pressure. The black bear hunting along that stretch of coast is very exciting. During the month of May many of the long range trips fishing at Cape Cleare produce some of the biggest halibut of the season. Rockfish are abundant along with the spring Cape Cleare King Salmon run.

June:

If you are into Giant Pacific Halibut June is the month for you. Daily long range trips provide some of the fastest action Halibut fishing of the year. Big fish are a daily fixture and there are plenty of them. During mid June the famed Seward Silver Salmon start running and limits are regular.

July:

Ling Cod season opens on July 1st and is usually greeted with a fleet of boats. The Ling Cod are big and plentiful. The weather is good and the fishing is great! Long range multiple day combo fishing trips are some of the finest of the year. The Salmon Shark fishing in July is some of the best of the season.

August:

The month of August is much like the month of July all the species of fish are in full swing. The Silver Salmon run is at its peak around mid August. Ling Cod and Rockfishing is famed by many as the best in the world.

September:

The month of September possesses some great late season fishing. There are numerous Rockfish, Ling Cod, and Halibut. The Silver Salmon start to taper out through mid September but the fast action Halibut fishing takes over where the salmon leave off.

October:

Early October we take a 5 day fishing and sightseeing extravaganza through the north gulf coast and into the Prince William Sound. The calm waters in the sound hold some of the most unique Halibut fishing in the world. Crab and Shrimp pots provide all those on board with some exquisite dining. Deer hunting Season chages from bucks only to any deer in mid October.

November:

Deer Hunting is the name of the game in November. There are big numbers of deer along the coast which makes for awesome glassing from the boat. There are numerous herds of deer right along the waterline due to the heavy snowfall. Most hunters are allowed five deer per season. The Sitka Blacktail deer range anywhere from 50 to 160 pounds.

December:

Deer hunting is great from the first of December until the close of the season December 31. The weather can be a little unpredictable but the shaky weather seems to keep the hunters limited which makes the spotting of deer all that much easier. Usually in December the snow storms have picked up and the deep snow drives all the deer to the beach. In a single cove over 40 deer can be spotted on the beaches at once.
