Sometime during mid-to-late July, the bears move inland towards a number of streams, chasing the concentration of salmon that are making their way from the ocean to their spawning grounds. Salmon is their chief source of food, nutrition, and fat reserves for denning later in the year. During this time, we travel to Moraine Creek to watch bears fish, hunt, and feed on the millions of red salmon making their way up the creeks.

We use state of the art gear and no expense is spared for a quality trip.

Our focus at O’Fish’ial is giving our customers the best possible Alaska fishing trip–our reviews are what motivates us to return to the water! Our goal is to earn your business so that you WANT to come back every year to replenish your personal fresh-caught fish supply. Alaska fishing is incredible and very different from most other places in the world.

The Cook Inlet boasts Alaska’s fishing at it’s finest!  Homer is known as “the Halibut Capital of the World” but the fact is we have multiple species of Salmon in our fresh and salt waters all year long! The key to the freshest tasting Salmon is to catch them in the saltwater before their run begins where their marbled fat content and their ‘wild caught’ taste are complemented by perfect coloring.  The most notorious and sought out King Salmon spend their youth voraciously feeding in our Bays to fatten up for future river spawning.

This trip is not for the faint-hearted. Bordering on the Gulf of Alaska this trip delivers the best scenery Alaska has to offer and lands over the path of multiple species; Halibut, Giant Lingcod and Yellow Eye Rockfish.  Let’s face it, if this was your local fishing hole, these monsters wouldn’t be there. We spend the day jig fishing for rockfish as we drift over pinnacles on the ocean floor. Halibut are drawn into our bait from the ocean floor which can be anywhere from 30’ of water to 300’. Arm workouts are included on this trip!!
