Halibut We fish for these big “monsters of the deep” mainly in late winter and early spring. The 2010 halibut season opens on February 1st through to October 31st. The area we prefer to fish is approximately an hour ride west of Sooke Harbor to an area known as Jordon River. Over the past few years, numerous halibut over 200 pounds plus have been landed in this area. You’ll have a great chance to catch a halibut over 100 pounds if the tides, the bait and the fishing luck are with you. Vancouver Island offers some the world's best sport and trophy fishing year round, and D&D Fishing Charters make it a fishing adventure of a lifetime. One that you will want to do again and again.
