Word is halibut fishing is getting better every day. The fishing at the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon is getting hotter. And the weather? Well, it's, uh, springlike, sorta?
Halibut
Fishing has been good, weather depending, as limits are being picked up 15-20 miles west of the Homer Spit in waters between 100 and 250 feet.
Most fish are in the 15-20 pound range although bigger fish are being caught with greater regularity.
Salmon
Trolling success for kings off the south side of Kachemak Bay, Bluff Point and north to Ninilchik has been fair.
Bright fish are still available in the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon. Salmon eggs, herring and blue Vibrax spinners in sizes 5-6 and fishing around the incoming tide is recommended.
The fishing lagoon will not open to snagging until sometime in early July.
Kings also are returning to Seldovia in good numbers. Try using Pixees from shore along Seldovia Slough or at the Fish Creek culvert at low tide. Whole herring fished from the bridge at higher tide stages has been productive.
Halibut Cove Lagoon is producing fair catches on salmon roe fished under a bobber or try a No. 4 or 5 Mepps.
Shellfish
A series of good clamming tides will run June 30 - July 7.
Anyway, around these parts, we'll take good fishing over suntans any day.
