The average charter caught halibut in our area is 45 pounds (which is the highest average in the entire state of Alaska)… and is three times bigger than Sitka, Seward or Homer (this is a fact, not a hype, our stats are collected from ADFG statistics). The Highliner Lodge provides the best possible halibut fishing opportunities for our guests in that we have charter halibut permits for both area 2C and area 3A on each boat and provide Guided Angler Fish (GAF) for all of our guests so that they may take a trophy sized halibut that they otherwise would have to release due to regulations.

Here, we are allowed to keep two halibut per day of any size for our guests. Most lodges in SE Alaska are restricted to one small fish per day. We also have the best king salmon catch rate in the state: 3 times better than Ketchikan, 4 times better than Petersburg, 10 times better than Juneau, 40 times better than Seward… and equal to, or better than, Sitka (again fact, not hype, from NMFS statistics). Where would you choose to take your guests fishing?
