Tuesday Wednesday Fishing Charter Homer
Looking for a solid weekday fishing trip without breaking the bank? This Tuesday-Wednesday multispecies charter with Sweet Action Charter is exactly what you're after. Running 6 hours on the water targeting rockfish, salmon, and lingcod (after July 1st), this trip gives you everything you want from a Homer fishing experience. We keep groups small at 6 anglers max, so you're not fighting for rail space or waiting around for your turn. At $600 plus local tax, it's priced right for the quality fishing Homer's known for, and running weekdays means less crowded waters and more fish willing to bite.
What to Expect on the Water
This is a proper fishing day, not some rushed tourist trip. Six hours gives us time to work different spots and techniques, hitting both shallow rockfish haunts and deeper salmon grounds depending on what's biting best. We'll start early to beat any afternoon wind and make the most of prime feeding times. The boat's rigged with quality gear, but if you've got lucky rods or favorite reels, bring them along. Homer's fishing grounds are diverse - one minute you're working rocky bottoms for lingcod, next you're trolling open water for kings. Weather permitting, we'll cover good water and put you on fish. The small group size means personalized attention, whether you're a seasoned angler or need help tying on your first Alaskan lure.
Techniques & Tackle
We mix it up with both trolling and bottom fishing to target the variety of species available. For salmon, we'll run trolling spreads with downriggers, working flasher and spoon combos or hoochies at different depths until we find where the kings are holding. When we're after rockfish and lingcod, it's straight bottom fishing with heavy jigs and bait rigs. The rocky structure around Homer holds tons of yelloweye rockfish, and once July 1st hits, lingcod regulations usually open up for some serious bottom dwelling action. All rods, reels, tackle, and terminal gear are included, plus we'll walk you through each technique as conditions change. Bring your own if you prefer, but our gear is commercial-grade and ready for whatever we hook into. We carry a good selection of jigs, spoons, and bait to match what the fish want on any given day.
Top Catches This Season
Lingcod are the bruisers everyone wants to tangle with once the season opens July 1st. These prehistoric-looking fish hang tight to rocky structure and can push 30+ pounds around Homer waters. They're aggressive strikers and put up a serious fight on medium-heavy tackle. What makes them special here is the rocky terrain - lots of caves and ledges where big lingcod set up territory. They're ambush predators, so when that jig hits bottom and you start working it up, be ready for a solid strike. The meat is excellent too, white and flaky when prepared right. Yelloweye rockfish are the bread and butter of Homer bottom fishing. These bright red and yellow fish live long and grow big in Alaska's deep waters. They're excellent table fare and relatively easy to catch once you find structure they're holding on. Around Homer, yelloweyes can live over 100 years and reach impressive sizes. They're not the hardest fighting fish, but consistent action and great eating make them a favorite target. Look for them in 150-300 feet of water around rocky reefs and underwater pinnacles. Chinook salmon, or king salmon, are Alaska's premier game fish and Homer sees excellent runs during summer months. These silver bullets can range from teenagers around 15-20 pounds up to true trophies pushing 40+ pounds. Kings fight hard with long runs and aerial displays, testing your drag and technique. Around Homer, they're often feeding on herring and other baitfish, making trolling with flashers and spoons deadly effective. The meat quality is unmatched - rich, oily, and perfect for grilling or smoking when you get home.
Time to Book Your Spot
This Tuesday-Wednesday special runs June 1st through September 15th and fills up with both locals and visiting anglers who know a good deal when they see one. At $600 plus Homer's local tax, you're getting a full day with quality gear, experienced guidance, and access to some of Alaska's best inshore fishing. Small group size means better fishing and more personal attention than those packed party boats. Remember that deposits are non-refundable, so plan accordingly, but also know that this trip consistently produces fish for anglers who show up ready to fish.
