Cook Inlet Halibut Fishing Limits & Rules for 2027

Planning a Cook Inlet halibut charter out of Homer or Deep Creek in 2027? Keeping up with the latest international Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) limits is critical for a successful harvest.

2-Fish Daily Bag Limits

Under current recreational regulations, the daily bag limit is 2 halibut per person. Typically, one fish can be of any size, while the second must be under 28 inches to protect breeding females.

Wednesday Closures & Regulations

To sustain healthy bottom-fish populations, charter vessels are prohibited from retaining halibut on Wednesdays during the peak summer months. Plan your charter schedule carefully.

Logging and License Requirements

All harvested halibut must be recorded immediately in ink on the back of your paper license or logged within the official ADF&G mobile application.
