What anglers said about fishing in Cook Inlet

Not every day has perfect weather, but when the conditions are right this outfit will try for larger sized fish. This is often talked about but rarely delivered. Great day on the water, fun conversations and a boat limiting on halibut. Canโ€™t ask for much more.

Donโ€™t expect to pull up a barn door here. I suppose it can happen, but unlikely. The state halibut limits of one under 27โ€ and one other over that. That makes it difficult to decide whether to keep a sizable fish or throw it back in hopes of catching a larger one, since one is all you get.

The charter was great! Homer in general, in June, has rivers closed to sport fishing until July 15th, so no recommendations there.

Go with your captain and first mate's recommendation. They will more often than not get you catching fish.

Regardless of age, you can do this! For those older, Captain Seth will help you in and out of the water, he even brought a chair for me to sit on when I needed a break.

A charter for your first time is perfect, because the crew gave us spots to check out when we go out on our own.

Donโ€™t forget to take something to prevent seasickness and bring enough food to share with the crew as their priority is making sure you have a great experience and they tend to forget about themselves.

If you are hoping for salmon, they just aren't running this early in the upper kenai. Also, we were blessed with perfect weather midJune, so 2 layers was fine, but on a colder rainy day, it would be cooler.

Understand that fishing on Kinik River is a small section of the river. There aren't options to fish other sections of the river if your section is not producing any bites.

Bring rain gear (pants and jacket), rubber boots, and neoprene gloves you can work a conventional reel in. Something to refuel between reeling up sea monsters is nice to have too

Wait till the salmon run more, May is early season for Salmon. Rent a vehicle in Anchorage and drive down, there are not many vehicle/transportation options in Homer. Bring extra cash, cash is preferred here over cards.

We fished in early May. The big fish are not in at this time, but there is still a lot of action. Cod provides lots of action.
