Homer wears the title of Halibut Fishing Capital of the World with pride. Anglers from all corners of the globe descend upon these waters, eager to reel in the mighty halibut that has made Homer famous. With a fishing season that stretches from April to September, the town offers a variety of experiences, from the thrill of deep-sea fishing for trophy-sized halibut to family-friendly trips in the calmer waters of Kachemak Bay. Charter boats dot the harbor, ready to take you on half-day or full-day excursions that promise the chance to catch halibut as well as salmon, rockfish, and lingcod. After a successful day on the water, AK Fish Fryers on the Spit awaits with the promise of the best fish and chips made from scratch - they'll cook up your catch for a personalized feast.
