Study charts and be aware of the bottom find good structures before dropping your line. Whether you are going out with an experienced charter or out on your own, here are some tips for finding and catching what you came for. Halibut are caught from February 1 through December 31, with peak fishing from late May until early August. Fishing for halibut occurs primarily between 100 and 300 feet but can sometimes be found in as little as 40 feet of water. These flatfish can be found in waters as shallow as 50 feet or as deep as 500 feet. Many over 150 pounds are caught annually and some barn doors can top 300 pounds. The average halibut weighs 15 to 50 pounds but we like halibut in the 25 to 40-pound range for best eating. Alaska halibut is the largest of all flatfish and one of the most preferred white fish to catch and eat.
