Homer Winter King Salmon Fishing
January 1st- April | Winter King Salmon Fishing Homer
King Salmon Fishing + Tanner Crabs
Every year residents and non-residents all over Alaska get ready for Homer Winter King Salmon Fishing! This early season access allows angels to hit the waters early to bring home fresh king salmon and tanner crabs! Additionally, this is the time of year where crowds are low, salmon migrations are peaking, and the harbor unfreezes to get out! As Winter King Salmon are feeding and preparing for spawning, they build up layers of fatty meat, making this salmon the most desirable! This is also the perfect time of year to try your chances at reeling in White Winter King Salmon that migrate from only 2 rivers located in Canada!
At D&G Charters, our Homer Winter King Salmon fishing charters start January 1st, runs through the Winter King Tournament, and into April. Our vessels accommodate 6-passengers and operates daily. Our goal is to not only provide a productive day of Homer Winter King Salmon fishing, but also a memorable and safe experience on the water for friends and family alike. Whether you're a resident wanting to get out of town and or live locally in Homer and want a day off the mainland, we are always up for a day on the water!

I have been charter fishing in AK in the past but D&G charters were a breath of fresh air. Dez was able to answer any questions that I had and worked with my busy schedule to get two charters booked. It was a smooth and painless process to get our charters booked which isn't always the case. My charter experience exceeded my expectations as I could tell Garrett knew exactly what he was doing.

Our Alaskan Halibut fishing experience was the best from start to finish! We really enjoyed the personal attention from Captain Sheridan. We caught our limit within minutes once we started fishing. Captain Sheridan was very attentive to all of my family and was especially wonderful assisting my grandson on his first real fishing trip! I highly recommend D and G fishing charter. It was a very memorable family experience!!!Barbara
My friends and I drove down from Anchorage for our halibut trip with Captain Garrett. I have been on charters before and this one was by far the best! Everyone on the boat got a king salmon and caught their limit of halibut. Captain Garrett was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip. We will definitely be back soon.Courtney



Things To Consider
When it comes to fishing, there are a few things to consider before purchasing a trip from any charter service. The first and most important, is that while you are hiring an experienced local guide to put you on the best spots, it's impossible to know ahead of time if you'll retreive limits or desired size. To help with reassurance, we can say that our crew is phenomenal and reading reviews prior to booking is the best way to select the charter best for you!
Secondly, in the event you do not rent the boat exclusively, we work hard to book guests with alike personalities and desired goals. While it's not guaranteed everyone will love everyone, it's never been a problem for our guests in the past and in fact, more often than not, we end up seeing life-long friendships developed!
Lastly, being an owner and operator means that we remain hands-on with every interaction and experience that occurs with our team. With that being said, we work hard to ensure a quality and fun trip and more importantly, we want to hear about it! After your trip is complete, please feel free to reach out to us and let us know how we did! Like we said from the beginning, guests that step onto our boats, are returned to the docks as family! See you out on the water!
Cheers,
