All Tuesdays and Wednesdays you can not retain Halibut in 3A where Homer is located. The bag limit is still 2 halibut but one must be 26” or less the other any size. The fishing opportunity in Alaska is still the greatest in the world in my opinion so small management changes are needed to sustain it. The management is working in a positive way and being proactive to keep it sustainable before its too late.

/The IPHC will be releasing final regulations affecting sport and charter fishing for Homer, Alaska January 31st. Currently we are hearing that all Tuesdays now along with all Wednesdays will be closed to Halibut retention. The same slot limits, bag limits, and annual limits should stay the same. For now our Booking Calendar will be open January 1st 2020.
NOAA has released the 2018 summer regulations for our area
/NOAA has released the 2018 summer regulations for our area and they are as follows:
- Area 3A (Central Gulf of Alaska): Charter operators will have a two fish daily bag limit, maximum size limit of less than or equal to 28 inches on one of those halibut, and a four fish annual limit. In addition, Wednesdays will be closed to charter fishing in 3A all season, along with six Tuesday (July 10, July 17, July 24, July 31, August 7, and August 14) closures in the summer. Vessels and charter permit holders will continue to be limited to one trip per day.
2018 Halibut regulations up in the air.

This was just sent from the Homer Charter Association.
The IPHC meeting ended not the way anyone expected. Basically, they did not approve or disapprove any 2018 halibut regulations. As most of you know the IPHC consists of 3 Canadian and 3 American Commissioners. When the time came to vote on catch limits, the Americans and Canadians could not agree on them. When the annual IPHC commission meeting came to an end, no agreement was reached. This is unprecedented and concerning.
Now we have some confusion as to what will happen for our 2018 regulations. Some sources are saying that we will revert back to 2017 regulations and other sources are saying that the Secretary of Commerce will decide regulations.
Our Calendar is open for Halibut fishing except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Salmon charters are available on those dates.
