Winter fishing

[Tom]

Can you fish Whittier/Seward/Homer in the winter? Are there periods in the winter where they close the harbors, does it ice over, etc.? I realize the Halibut split, but surely you can still go after rockfish, cod, shrimp, and the like. Does anyone go out in January?

I know Homer has some decent feeder king fishing. I don't know the timing, but I think there is a derby in march?

you can fish for feeder kings all winter long in homer. Tourney in February. Winter kings can be caught in Bainbrige Passage from Whittier. In Seward you can find some kings also but its hit and miss. Good Luck

Homer Tournament

Actually the Homer Winter King Tournament is around the 18th or so of March. Not enough daylight in Febuary.

Winter Kings

You can definately fish for winter kings. I am hoping to fish for some kings next weekend.

Out of Whittier - winter kings and rockfish. No shrimp, season is closed from Sept 16 until April 15.
