Subject: Background info on Cook Inlet, part II


Halibut fishing from Deep Creek into Cook Inlet also requires some careful planning. The advantages of fishing from Deep Creek (recreation area, the town name is Ninilchik) is that you can fish for kings on the same trip (at proper times), and the travel time to the fishing grounds is relatively short, 45 minutes on average. But the tides play a role in the time of day fishing is done, and the ease of which you can fish- moreso than at other Alaska locations. Since halibut fishing is generally done with the boat on anchor, and the anchoring is done in an area where high tidal flows happen with the moon cycle twice a month, it stands to reason that choosing a time when the tide change is small will help your fishing. That doesn't mean your catch will be bigger or faster, just easier- lighter sinkers, more time at slack tide, etc. Always ask your guide to look at the tide book and advise you when the tide is small, and try to plan your trip accordingly. Also, a little dose of reality: We all have fantastic catches with huge fish and arm-numbing fights. But the reality is that, statistically speaking, an average halibut is about 20 lbs. If you catch a 50lb'er, be pleased. If you break the century mark, be ecstatic! Have realistic expectations, choose your tides, and bring proper clothing. This will prevent disappointment.
