Homer, Alaska
Halibut Fishing Capital of the World
 

     Homer is known as the “Halibut Fishing Capital of the World” boasting very few weather days, or days when the sea conditions do not welcome fishing.  Other ports, such as Seward and Dutch Harbor, may have periods of weather where safe fishing can only be enjoyed once or twice a week. Homer, on the other hand, usually has no more than 3 or 4 weather days in an entire summer (May-August).  Homer is a 220-mile drive, or a 45-minute flight from Anchorage, with multiple flights arriving daily.
