Southeast Alaska Halibut Fishing Trips

Join us at Dove Island Lodge

The brute strength and massive size of the north’s favorite flatfish (halibut) provide the ultimate challenge for any angler, and make our Southeast Alaska halibut fishing charters world renowned as the pinnacle for targeting these plentiful fish. Sitka Alaska is recognized by experts as the best location for Southeast Alaska halibut fishing trips, as catch rates rival those of any location within the state.

Our Alaska halibut fishing trips at Dove Island Lodge focus on providing our guests with the once in a lifetime thrill of landing their Alaska Halibut limit. Seventy percent of all our anglers accomplish this feat on a daily basis.

We use two different vessels for our Halibut fishing trips, both known for their comfort, speed, and ability to handle our unpredictable waters. Our 28-foot SeaSports is built for six anglers, but we only carry four maximum on our Alaska halibut fishing trips. Our Halibut fishing boats are equipped with modern radar, GPS, fish-finders, and VHF radios. Cabins are heated and there is plenty of room for all anglers to have a seat, and there is even a private head.

Our 34.5-foot Coldwaters vessels provide one of the finest rides in the industry, and are perfectly suited for our Southeast Alaska halibut fishing trips. These boats are built for ten people, but we only fish a maximum of four to six anglers which translates into 15-feet between each fisherman. The 11-foot beam boasts a full walk-around, making it that much easier to land the big barn-door Halibut.

These vessels make our run-times to the Halibut fishing grounds a breeze, and make it possible to Halibut fishing within one hour after departing the dock.

The finest of gear is a must for any Alaska halibut fishing trip, and at Dove Island Lodge we provide our anglers with only the best. We use stand-up Penn International Gold rods equipped with Accurate and Shimano two-speed reels. Our Halibut fishing equipment takes some of the strain off the angler when pulling in a lunker halibut from the deep. Fighting harnesses are provided and can help diminish the burn when the Halibut fishing action heats up.

Our halibut fishing captains are all licensed by the U/S. Coast Guard. We are proud to employ guides who are Alaska residents with many years of experience targeting local waters. Their knowledge of the fish, and the techniques used to catch them, makes it possible for our guests to enjoy the tremendous success we’ve come to expect. A deckhand accompanies all of our Halibut fishing trips and makes sure you’re always baited and ready to go.
