Best Halibut fishing in Alaska
Heavens Gate Charters is high a quality fishing charter company of Homer, Alaska.
Halibut is our primary targeted species, but most of our trips include a full day of fishing for halibut plus additional species. We have one of the highest success rates for catching king salmon in the Homer charter fleet. Captain Seth Ellis has over 14 years of experience guiding fishing charters in the Cook Inlet, Kachemak Bay and surrounding waters.
Our boat The Dream Catcher II holds 6 fishermen plus a captain and deckhand, has individual seating for 6 guests, an enclosed lavatory and a heated cabin for the comfort of your full day charter.
In Homer Alaska is “halibut fishing capital of the world!” The ecosystem in South-Central Alaska is a perfect environment for fish to thrive. Our goal is to get the halibut from the ocean to your dinner plate! During the halibut portion of your charter, we will use the technique of bottom-fishing. HGC will provide all the necessary fishing tackle and bait for your trip. We will focus a large portion of the day on halibut. It is uncommon that we don’t catch our daily halibut limit for each angler.
We also, love salmon fishing!! There is nothing more exciting than a King Salmon strike and the ensuing fight. While our local rivers are facing new regulations, the kings in the ocean are plentiful. Our salmon harvest rate at HGC is among the highest in the charter fleet. HGC will provide all gear, tackle and bait for salmon trolling. The captain and deckhand will set up the deck, assign you a rod and coach while you reel in your salmon. No matter how many salmon we catch during the season, it is always extra special to get a King on the boat and a photo in your phone.
Our Eco-tours are gaining popularity in Alaska. We will be offering eco-tours every Wednesday for the duration of the summer and Tuesdays after June 20th. We will be looking for whales, sea otters, birds and other Alaskan wildlife. We will check out Halibut Cove, Jakolof Bay, and stop for a picnic in Seldovia for either a packed lunch or an opportunity to dine at the local restaurant. On clear days we will be able to see the local volcanoes. Augustine, Illiamna and Redoubt are all active and will produce steam at their peak year-round. If there is anything specific you want to do while on our eco-tour, we can be flexible with our itinerary. Bring your camera!
