I have to go to Homer for work tomorrow (no, that isn't a complaint). I'm planning on taking my tupperware. The weather forecasts are great. Anyone planning on being in Homer or Whiskey Gulch tomorrow? I'm thinking about working the end of spit area, or hitting Whiskey on the way home. (I may hit whiskey again when I get home, but that is another story.)

I should be able to leave the office at about 4:00. Could be somewhere to get ready to fish between 4:30 and 5:00.   

Has anyone hit halibut out by the green can?

I'm as interested in going fishing as I am in catching fish. Of course, catching fish is always the goal.

The marine forecast for Saturday sucks. Tomorrow might be the only opening this weekend.

The plan is to try and hit it friday evening.  Probably wont launch till 6pm ish...maybe a tad earlier.  Stay close to the launch.  Hit it again saturday if the weather allows.

Maybe I'll see you there Rudy. Should be pretty good timing for the tide. Small enough tides that we have a little bit of leeway.

I just go home from a retirement party for one of my teachers need to go load my kayak and get ready for a meeting and fishing tomorrow.

Ugh tough day. Ryu and I both lost heavy fish.  Just came unbuttoned...pretty rare with 12/0 gamakatsu BRB hooks.  Got to fish with KatinAlaska and easyyakker so at least we had good company! 

First world problems when this is a bad day...

Great evening fishing with Team Tsukada and KatinAlaska. Couldn't have asked for a nicer night on the water. Launched just before 6 and got off the water about 9:30. That is a pretty great way to end a work day and week. I got one nice 20 pound range fish, released a 5 pounder. First fish of the year was an Irish Lord.

The bite was slow. Really though, I often find the bite slow on these very small tides. My theory is that on these small tides the fish can feed 24 hours per day. On larger tides the fish have shorter feeding times (when they don't have to work to catch food) and the bite is actually better than these very small tide shifts. While fishing on the small tides can be easier, we almost always had to fish longer to fill our limits. I may be dreaming, but that is the observation we came up with while chartering.

Still, a great first trip of the year. Also a reminder that I'm not a spring chicken anymore (and haven't been for a while). The knees don't feel too bad this morning (very happy about that). The back is pretty tight. I'm hoping to get that loosened up pretty soon. I'm going to have to build up to multi-day trips.

Good luck to everyone who gets out today. I'll be prepping my trailer for some of those mult-day trips I hope to be taking soon.

Three cheers for the Four Musketeers! Well done all. Glad to see you are thinnig out those chickens so there is more room for those big'uns that are on their way.  ;D   Well that's more halibut on the beach than I caught all last year since I didn't go. So your success would be welcome in my book any day to kick off the season.

Looking at the webcams just past noon -WOW- it looks like at least 3 or more yakk'ers out there on a near glassy reflection day. Good thing NOAA is off the mark. Good luck.  You definitely got the weather and the tides in your favor today.

I called Moose & Goose at Moose Range HQ yesterday and the rangers said every lake on the Peninsula, including Hidden Lake are all ice free and fishable. I think I'll focus on some freshwater species for a bit since the spring ice out bite can be pretty intense.

As always, it was great fishing with you guys. I finally broke my dry spell from the kayak (no fish since January). I also started out with an Irish Lord, then a 12-15# halibut, then released about a 7# halibut. It was just nice to have a fish on the line again!
