Halibut Fishing in Victoria

When we take guests halibut fishing in Victoria we take the time to explain why these amazing fish are sometimes hard to catch. It’s a scent fishery where the halibut comb the sea bed looking for things to eat. In order to be the most effective halibut fisherman we need to get our bait right down to the bottom. Yes we use weights as well but the sea conditions have to be such that we are not fighting the tide and the current in order to get the bait down. We put down an anchor, bait the rods and send the line down over 200 feet. There are many things our skilled guides do to make sure we maximize our chances. Halibut Fishing in Victoria is very productive if you choose your days wisely. When you call us to book your halibut adventure we’ll be honest and direct you to the best days. It is usually wise to book well in advance for halibut as there are only 6-10 days a month when we feel it is effective.  This is very different from Salmon fishing when the chances of a good catch are available everyday.

The three gentleman feature in this post did  their homework and choose Adam’s Fishing Charters for their halibut adventure! We were delighted to land them three decent sized fish. Halibut in the area can get as big as 200 pounds but these ones in the 20-40 pound range are more common.
