 Kodiak Alaska Halibut Fishing Lodge
Halibut fishing at Kodiak Island Resort is unsurpassed anywhere. There are never crowded fishing areas or combat fishing. You will halibut fish from our comfortable catamaran fishing boat. While we sometimes choose to fish deep water (250 feet +) most of our halibut fishing is done in waters between 50 and 100 feet deep. When the season or client dictates it we fish with terminal tackle and 12- 24 ounce sinkers but we also offer lighter tackle for those that prefer something different.
The Alaska Fish & Wildlife have determined the waters off Kodiak Island to be the best in all of Alaska for producing big number of both large and small halibut. Our custom-built catamaran sport fishing boat is the ultimate fishing machine for halibut fishing. Our boat is 36 feet long, 14 feet wide, with a heated cabin and private restroom, which offers each guest the maximum in comfort while providing plenty of room for battling fish.
 Halibut in Kodiak and Larsen Bay are plentiful and range in size from small “chickens” to barn door sized in excess of 300 pounds. Typically most of our fish range between 20 and 60 pounds but very few days go by that at least one hundred pounder is not brought to the surface. Each of our guests is encouraged to take halibut home but our lodge practices safe, catch and release of our larger fish to protect and enhance the resource. Nobody leaves Kodiak Island Resort without fish; we just try and harvest the best and most plentiful on most occasions. For those that want a trophy we have no problem helping them attain their goal.
Our fishing techniques vary from location to location. In a typical day we may fish a sandy shelf and catch halibut on 2-ounce jigs and 30 pound line. Later in the day we may fish and underwater ledge that is 300 feet deep and drops to 500. Be careful and make sure you have the big gear ready. More than once we have lost three hundred yards of line without ever slowing down some of those behemoths. We have 80 pound class rods and Newell reels rigged with the new 100 pound Diawa Saltiga line which is an eight stand braid and virtually indestructible. Sometimes the problem is if the angler can hang on until the halibut decides to slow down. Seldom do halibut break off in the bottom so it is just a battle of will and power. This type of fishing is not for everyone and often only once for many.
 For those that don’t like being tortured we have light tackle reels setup with 30-pound line and jigs that are truly a blast for 20-80 pound fish, unfortunately anything bigger usually results in the fish winning. Each fisherman gets to make the call of big tackle and big fish or smaller tackle and more manageable fish.
After battling halibut all day we return to the lodge where the fish are cleaned processed and vacuum-sealed. Each bag is labeled and placed immediately into the freezer.
When your trip winds down, we remove your catch from our freezer and place it into wet-lok wax boxes for shipping. Each guest is allowed to take home up to 100 pounds of fresh, frozen fish. In 2008 no one that wanted to take fish left without their 100 pounds. Sometimes we had to work harder and longer but we always produced all the fish our clients wanted. See for yourself why we think Kodiak Island Resort offers the best halibut fishing Alaska has to offer.
