2026 Halibut Limits

2026 Alaska Halibut Fishing Limits

If you are adding a saltwater charter out of Homer or Seward to your 2026 Kenai River trip, you must know the NOAA halibut limits. For 2026, guided anglers in Area 3A can expect a strict two-fish daily bag limit, typically with one fish of any size and a second fish under a specific slot limit (e.g., 28 inches). Booking these trips early in 2026 is critical as saltwater boats fill up incredibly fast.
