Or recommend a good one? May be coming up next July/August and looking at fishing options around Seward. Thanks.

I kid you not. Don't go with anyone other than Profish-n-Sea. We've been going with him for years. Go to the website, and look at the Reports Gallery. He puts up pics from basically every day, not just the "best of" from the last ten years like lots of guys do. He catches fish when others don't, nicest boats, best gear, no BS about why they didn't do this or that, stays out and moves plenty to get on fish. Never had a bad day with them.

My wife is the headliner of the "Salmon Fishing" page on his holding a nice king we got trolling in June. Been out with him many times as have other friends/family. PM me if you want pics of boats/fish/gear etc.

I do know someone you should not go with......

Thank you Johnsd. I'll check him out.
PM to you martenpine.

I fished with profishnsea once and we did well on halibut. The guy's name is Steve. Our boat averaged maybe 30 lb and all the others we saw at the cleaning table at the dock were little bitty not even chickens. Skipper got all excited when I hooked a good sized salmon shark but I wasn't disappointed when it got off.

I would have to say that if you have a choice go out of Homer... the fishing for halibut is way better there..... not as much rockfish and salmon there, but certainly better halibut...

hmmmmm. Thanks for the tip.

here is a taste of homer...

homer and seward really aren't that far apart once you on the ocean. you just need a good skipper.

that is true MP, but it seems the Armada bases more out of Seward. I think th epressure is less out there out of Homer..

Winds and tides are a big deal. You don't want much of either.

???

No fishing charter is going to take anyone from Homer to Seward or vice versa without paying A MAJOR FORTUNE, and it would have to be a special, custom arrangement. There are pros and cons to fishing both places, but to answer your question... Saltwater Safari is another good option if you can't book with Pro fishnsea for whatever reason.

Here's a taste of Seward

Tides are much smaller in Seward, which translates into fishing straight down with smaller weights, thus less tangles and more fighting the fish not the tackle. I've cought 100+ lb halibut on MH 6'6" rod w/ a 12oz jig. Not sure you can do that in Homer. The fishing is fantastic in Homer and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that'd say you have an equal shot in Seward at BIG fish. Cook inlet just seems to produce more really big ones. Seward doesn't lack in volume however, we've had days with Profish where we've all been in double digits for halibut caught, and my buddy and I have hooked over 20 a piece a couple times.

The other thing is in Seward you can do a halibut/salmon combo. In May/June is halibut/kings and july/august its halibut/silvers and you can keep lingcod after July 1st. I think there's more lingcod on the Seward side, but I'm not sure, we always catch several in June when you can't keep them. In July/August, the saltwater silver salmon fishing in Seward is nothing short of amazing. Those things are unreal on light tackle. Limit is 3 outside the bay and 6 in the bay (resurrection bay). Combine a day of drag burning silvers and back breaking halibut and its a fishing adventure that you'll remember.

May halibut


August Halibut/Silver Combo it was an epic day of fishing with lots of halibut and a limits on heavy outside the bay silvers. Limits for everyone 10 clients.

Sea caught kings from a June combo


Both caught on less than 16oz jigs on 6'6" MH rods with 50lb braid fishing in little current. Makes the fight a lot more fun than with monster weights in tons of current.

those r some boat loads

you are right there, but the action is on the ocean for halibut and when your out there it isn't really that far. I never said anyone one would take you from Homer to Seward but I have and if your looking for Halibut, There is good fishing out on the outside waters

I went out with Profish too. We had the largest catch at the dock that day. Fun guys too.
