Sometimes you can catch halibut and salmon in the same area, but most of the time we will be fishing several areas throughout the day. The average size halibut that we catch on a Seward “combo mambo” fishing charter is 20 to 40 pounds. However, it is not uncommon to catch halibut over 100lbs on a “combo mambo” charter! Since we are fishing only half the day, we will not have the time to pick thru the smaller halibut in search of bigger halibut. You would need a full day halibut charter to accomplish this.

Once everyone has caught their halibut or our time is up, we will switch over to salmon tackle and start searching for some shiny silvers! When we find a good concentration of silvers, we will throw out lots of chum (small pieces of cut herring) into the water to attract the silvers to the boat. Then you will mooch for them with chunks of cut herring or use crippled herring jigs. When the silvers start biting, be ready for total chaos. It is not uncommon to see multiple anglers with multiple hookups of silvers!

When everyone catches their breath from the salmon fishing mayhem or our time is up we will venture out to some Alaska lingcod~ Alaska rockfish fishing holes. Depending on the fishing spot, we will either use the halibut fishing poles or the med. light salmon fishing poles. Jig fishing is the game plan; you never know what you may hook, whether it is an Alaska lingcod or Alaska yellow eye or Alaska black bass or the dozen varieties of Alaska rockfish!
