While we are filleting is an excellent opportunity to purchase that shirt and hat. Halibut fishing in Homer is probably the most consistent fishery in Alaska and we have one of the best success rates around. Our boats limit out the majority of the time. The keys to improving on this are listening to what we say, fishing hard all day, and of course a little luck. The limit is two halibut per day, four in possession.
State law requires that each person hook their own two fish.
Once the fish are processed they are off of your possession limit. You may catch and release halibut until you get the two you decide to keep. Once a fish is brought into the boat, it goes onto your limit. We encourage you to keep only the halibut you can realistically eat, release the big spawning fish if you are not going to eat them, they'll only get bigger and produce more halibut. We give your halibut to you in the filleted form, from here you have several option.
