Records continue to be set by Valdez fishing charters. Barn door size halibut, while rare, are a definite possibility. The popularity of halibut fishing has grown in recent years and continues to be a stable attraction all summer long. Halibut charters offer daylong trips into the Sound for an unforgettable experience. The halibut are caught as early as May and as late as September, although some die-hards fish all year long.
Pinks are just plain fun to catch.
They range in weight from 5 to 10 pounds. Charter Information Harbor Reservations can arrange a fishing charter for you during your stay in Valdez. Both Halibut and Salmon Charters go out daily. Boats carry from 4 to 6 fishermen at a time. If you have a large group, boats can fish together, each boat carrying part of the group.
