Homer

I caught a 75lb halibut while my older brother caught a “little” 25 lber.

Great Halibut fishing while I was here. Caught 1 90+ lb. halibut and 2 smaller ones in the 40 lb range. Couple a rockfish too – great eating.

Absolutely my favorite place in Alaska! So much to do and so many beautiful sites to see! For excellent pizza in a more formal atmosphere try Fat Olive’s, and for a more casual atmosphere there’s Starvin’ Marvin’s on the water. The first Friday of every month is the art crawl. All the galleries are open and usually there are hors de ouvres and wine. There’s some great fish and chips places along the spit too. I can’t wait to go back!

Homer is a cultural haven for artsy, liberal Alaskans. If you’re a tourist, avoid the Spit, unless you want leave weighted down with several pounds of salmon- and crab-themed memorabilia.

Beautiful location. I’d love to base my seaplane on Lake Beluga, but will there be enough business?
