Seward Alaska Halibut Fishing
The halibut fishing around Seward, Alaska can be described as consistently outstanding! Throughout the season you can expect on catching halibut that average anywhere from 30 to 60lbs, with many fish weighing over 100lbs being brought in daily. Biggest sport caught halibut in Alaska is 459lbs! Every summer, the waters near Seward, Alaska come alive with lots of baitfish, which bring in large schools of Alaskan halibut. These halibut swim from the deep water to shallow water to gorge themselves with lots of baitfish, which provides excellent halibut fishing all season long!

Seward halibut fishing is a pole bending, arm straining and tug of war excitement that pins you to
the rail every time you hook one of these huge “flatties”! If you hook one of these pole benders, we
refer to the fish as a “shooter”. A shooter is a halibut that weighs 100lbs or more, to subdue the
halibut we shoot the fish with a .410 shotgun, this insures the safety of everyone on-board the boat.
With our friendly, professional instructions and techniques, novice or experienced anglers will be able
to do battle with a large Seward, Alaska Halibut. On your halibut charter out of Seward, Alaska, we
will travel anywhere from 1 hour to 2.5 hours to some of the most productive halibut spots available!

Seward Halibut Fishing Techniques
The way we fish for halibut in Seward is we anchor the boat and fish right of the bottom. Depending
on the season we fish anywhere from 50 to 325 feet of water on gravel or rocky bottoms. We use
5 1/2 foot stand-up rods with level-wind reels spooled with 100lb fishing line. The leader is a 300lb monofilament that is crimped to a 16/0 Mustad circle- hook baited with an assortment of cut herring,
cod, salmon bellies, octopus or squid. Depending on the current, we use anywhere from 1 to 3 pound
sinkers to get your halibut leader to the bottom. Another way to fish for halibut is to use scampi jigs,
the motion of these jigs bouncing up and down of the bottom tend to attract big halibut! We use either
16oz or 24oz scampi jigs and jig them 2 to 5 feet off rocky bottoms.
