As the ice melts and warmer weather starts to ease into the Alaskan climate, there’s one thing on the mind: fishing season. A favorite fishing charter around this time of year is, without a doubt, halibut fishing. Halibut season tends to run from mid-May to almost mid-September. Whether you’ve been several times before or you are thinking about halibut fishing for the first time, plan your next excursion with Anglers Adventures and Outfitters.
Catching a big halibut is a goal of any serious sportsman. Halibut caught on average weigh from 15 to 20 pounds, but some anglers have caught halibut that are well over 150 pounds! In fact, the current state record for a halibut caught by a sportsman is 459 pounds! Halibut are truly a prized fish lauded by all sporting anglers alike. These flat fish are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Their mild flavor makes them easy to season and cook however you like. These unique fish swim sideways in the water, and both of their eyes are found on only one side of their body. During warmer months, they are abundant in the water in Ketchikan.
