I'm wanting to talk Alaska kayak fishing. Matsu down to kenai, Homer, Seward. What do you like to fish for and where? I'm usually trout fishing on lakes and looking to expand. Proud new member of the Vibe tribe Seaghost 130.

Welcome.  Great group of folks in the forum up here.  Tons of opportunity to expand your horizons. 

It's exciting to see all the "noobs" to NWKA and Alaska...get ready for a great season. (I'll always consider myself a noob)  Be sure to check out kardinal_84's links at the bottom left of each of his posts.  Incredibly useful information.

Greetings~! Pull up a stump around the campfire - you have found a little piece of heaven for the kayak sport. Lots of new "members" in the Alaska group since this time last year, present company included. But most everyone has lots of fishing experience and knowledge of our fisheries so its not like we all just fell off the turnip wagon. Everyone has something to offer no matter how fresh to kayaking itself. Fishing is fishing as they say. That's the easy part. Its the catching that can be a challenge and when migrating to the kayak platform as your means of conveyance it does pose some new logistics challenges. So you will learn a lot here about adapting. The saltwater environment poses a lot of safety issues as you know - extreme tides, fast currents, often bone-chilling cold waters, beach and surf conditions, as well as tackling Alaska's biggest fish from a very small platform....and oh very fast changes in the weather to deal with.

Just scrolling down the main index pages of each forum section will provide a quick review of topics that may have been covered although sometimes the titles might be a little cryptic. Another tip is using the forums as a historical record of what has been happening in your area at the same time each year. So going back in the chronicles by season will give you a head's up as to what others were fishing for and how they did at that time each year.
