Catch a record sized halibut with us!
At Highliner Charters, we're NOT limited to one halibut per day UNDER 45” like almost all other lodges in SE Alaska (All Sitka, Ketchikan, Juneau, Petersburg, etc lodges are located too far away from area 3A).

We have licenses to fish in Area 3A, where you may keep TWO halibut per day of ANY size.

Our fishermen have limited out almost every single day last year!
