    Fishing with Andre

    3/4 Day - Halibut Fishing1 adult

    Colby was the best. I lost count as to how many Halibut we caught. There were 6 of us and we could only keep 1 per person and Colby wouldn't rest until we all had nice approx 20 pounders. I was so tired of reeling in fish I had to quit. From first 10 minutes I don't believe we had a lull of more than 5 minutes and at times we had 3 fish on at the same time. For a period of a couple of hours we had fish on with virtually no break. Colby was the consummate guide. No wasted motion and hooks were rebaited within seconds and back in the water. We were all exhausted and happy at the end of the day.

    Great Halibut Fishing Trip with Central Charters Captain Jordan on the Bella Vita

    Half Day Trip – Halibut Fishing2 adults

    We had an amazing halibut fishing experience with Captain Jordan on the Bella Vita today! Everything about this charter was excellent... clean, fast, comfortable boat with a very professional, knowledgeable and good natured Captain that made sure we were on fish and worked hard to ensure that everyone on the boat got their limit. He was amazing and quick to help get everyone's hook baited, fish in, and hook rebaited... even when at one point everyone seemed to have a fish on their line at once. Thank you Captain Jordan and Central Charters!

    Amazing Trip

    Half Day Trip – Halibut Fishing2 adults

    this was an absolutely amazing experience. I recommend this charter and this boat, particularly to anybody we had a great time. Captain was absolutely amazing. He was by himself, didn’t have a deck hand, and he handled us all professionally quickly, and we all caught our limit. Love it I will be back next year to fish again for sure.

    what a great day of fishing especially for a half day, thanks for sharing!

    Great trip!!!

    3/4 Day – Halibut Fishing2 adults

    We had an awesome trip on the Bella Vita, with Captain Jordan! We traveled about 24-25 miles out and he put us right on top of the fish. All six of us got our limit of nice Halibut and some of us caught Cod also. We couldn’t of had a better day. We would definitely recommend Central Charters for fishing out of Homer. We will go again if we make it back to Homer.

What's biting with Central Charters – FV Bella Vita in Homer

September is a great month to head offshore in search of huge food fish. Target monster Halibut before the season drops off, and pull up some Lingcod and Rockfish while you're out there.
