Halibut Fishing Trip planned in Homer Alaska 3rd week of June 2015

I am very excited about setting up a charter boat to fish Halibut in Homer Alaska.

I have a relative that lives in Wasila Alaska that has lived in Alaska now for 7 years. Well he has fished off charter boats in Homer for several years now.

He is setting up a trip around the 3rd week of June this year. Price per person is $300 dollars and persons fishing can keep 2 halibut fish. The weight of halibut fish can run from 30 lbs to 300+ give or take.

Now some people this $300 dollars to fish halibut is expensive. But if you crunch numbers on how much halibut fish cost in stores and how many pounds of halibut you will be taking home after fishing, you come out ahead price wise.

Average person fishing will take home approx $1200 dollars in value of fish, give or take.

$1200 - $300 - $475 air fight = $425 dollars worth of fish.

Vegas Bob's room and board, food, etc are all free because he has family that live in Anchorage, so my whole trip give or take is free ;o)

Hello Colleen ... thanks for stopping by and I guess the best eating halibut are the 80-120 pounders. And yes VB is getting hooked up with a large freezer for fresh halibut, salmon & moose ;o))))

And sometimes it isn't the cost it is the experience. If you didn't buy that super bowl ticket from the scalper for the 50 yard line down close to the field you could do the trip every month the ice is out.
