Homer Halibut Charters
Homer is Alaska's premier halibut charter destination. Charter captains use Coal Point tide data to plan optimal departure times and to identify slack-water periods that concentrate halibut near the bottom.
Kachemak Bay Salmon
Silver Salmon school up in Kachemak Bay during August and September, staging on the tidal currents near the Homer Spit. Incoming tide concentrates fish in accessible locations.
Dungeness Crab & Shellfish
Homer is known for Dungeness and Tanner crab. Pot tenders time their set-and-retrieve cycles around the tidal periods shown in this chart.
