Halibut Fishing - Port Hardy
Bottom fishing opportunities are available throughout the summer fishing season with good catches of Halibut, Lingcod, Red Snapper and various species of Rockfish. Effective bottom fishing is dependent on favorable tide and wind conditions. Generally speaking the best times are near the 1/4 moon phases and from April to October. Largest Halibut to date: 232 lbs. (1991 Diawa Derby Winner) 212 lbs. (1994 Diawa Derby Winner).
Port Hardy is in the Queen Charlotte Strait and is the route that most fish pass on their way to the famous fishing inlets between Vancouver Island and the mainland: Knight Inlet, Kingcome Inlet, Campbell River, and all the points south.
Fishing Charter Schedule
The prime season for cathing Halibut is May through October while Lingcod, Red Snapper and Various Rockfish can be caught year round. Contact the Codfather to see which type of fishing is best for the time you plan to arrive.
