- Valdez, Alaska, boasts some of the best halibut fishing on the West Coast.Team Pautzke flew north to Valdez, boated through Prince William Sound and dropped lines in the Gulf of Alaska to sample this fishery with Valdez Outfitters. Armed with Halibut & Rockfish Nectar marinated herring action was epic as you'll see in this edition of Pautzke Outdoors. In a few hours we caught plenty of halibut, lingcod and yellow eye and complete with up close encounters with orcas witnessed some of the most incredible scenery on the planet.

Valdez Outfitters is first class. Captain Brian will put you on the fish.
Going halibut fishing this weekend in Valdez for my first time ever I’m so EXCITED! 😭 thanks for the visual guys.
How’d it go
1) What was shown is called a snap swivel. Barrel swivel does not have a snap on it. Barrel swivel requires a knot on both ends. Snap swivel takes a knot on one side and the rig attached to the swivel via a snap mechanism. The one shown more likely is a corkscrew type. Very strong.
2) According to other videos, Halibut in Alaska is federally managed. Two halibut per day, four in possession. Some areas have slot limit. Valdez IS NOT the only place that has two halibut limit.
Thanks for posting.
This guy doesnt seem real knowledgeable about anything.
South-East Alaska is the only place in Alaska with the 1 fish per day and reverse slot limit. Every port in South-Central Alaska has the same halibut regulations as Valdez. Valdez is one of the only places? How about Whittier, Seward, Deep creek, or Homer? But if you skipped the charter boat and went privately you could keep 2 a day of any size.
Thanks for your comments! Good luck out there!
I Hope you guys get a chance to go out of some other locations next time you make it to Alaska. Seward is probably the most spectacular port to go out of and you can access the Gulf of Alaska from there as well. Very nice halibut though and I did enjoy the video.
We did Seward several years ago and had a blast! Went with a private boater.
thats awesome! its so beautiful out there and the fishing can be incredible. Its a shame what they have done to the charter industry with all the complicated regs and reallocation of fish.
Average 18 to 20 pound halibut?
You got to be kidding me.
Between Charleston and Bandon Oregon, and an hours hard run out is the Bandon High spot. You will run a thousand 1500 feet of water and then all of a sudden it'll rise up and you'll be fishing in 450 to 550 feet of water.
I have never come back with an 18 or 20 lb halibut from fishing out there. A bad day was a 40 pounder and 60 is what we would shoot for but a hundred pound fish was not unusual. and, just like up in Alaska you do get your 300-plus pounders on a rare occasion.
But the Ling cod and the yellow eye are huge up in Alaska.
I guess fishing in a hundred feet of water real close to the shore in that particular neck of the woods, maybe the fish aren't that big. A lot of charters are only concerned about you catching your limit and not the quality of the fish. Having fish my own salmon troller Portuguese rig four bottom fish commercial as well as the charter business, I know there's bigger halibut to be caught if that particular charter business would work a little harder for its customers. If the skipper told me I had to keep an 18-pound halibut one of us is not going to have a good day.
What that last big halibut the end of the video with was very very nice. If I was those guys I wouldn't have said anything about 18 or 20 inch halibut.
Fish on!
can you put halibut and rockfish nectar inl dead squid
Yes, make sure to soak at least 12 hours.
You can also save a ton of money and buy some dw40 and just use the red straw in any orifice.
What is the difference between a halibut and a flounder
about 300 pounds
🤣👏
Just different type of fish with eyes on one side. The tails look different.
You guys ever fish out of Whittier?
Not yet.
They would fish the same waters so maybe a little more fishing time out of Valdez depending on weather and the speed of the boat.
this is a great video one of your best
Nice catch, I actually just caught a halibut on my channel like a week ago.
Alaska won’t be the only place with nice sized halibut still thanks to all these damn charters
Charters catch a tiny fraction of what commercials do.
O trust me I wish there was something I could do
Charters catch a tiny amount of fish. Even the commercial halibut guys don't catch much compared to what the trawlers have to dump as bycatch. That is what takes a huge toll on their numbers
charters blame long liners, long liners blame the charters.
