Looking for kayak anglers in Soldotna Alaska

I am a member of the Canadian Kayak Anglers and my wife and I are heading to the area on July 15 for 10 days and would love to hook up with some fellow yak anglers. We don't have our yaks with us, as we are traveling from Nova Scotia Canada.

You got my number.  Here's another board or two you might try posting on.  Their fishing section also has LOTS of good info specifically to Alaska.

CKA Exstream,

I am from Norcal Kayak anglers and I left the Soldotna/Ninilcjic/Homer area last week after spending two weeks there with my Hobie Revo.  I wasn't able to hookup with a kayak angler in either place.  I did not connect with a Halibut but I caught a few flounders and rock fish.  I also got into a school of 2-8 pound cod and spent the the better part of an hour landing and releasing some some nice sized fish.  Great pracitice for the real thing.  On two days I also picked up limits of razor clams.  Send me a pm if  you would like details.

Rudy,

Did you get your outback yet?

Let's try that new Hobie on the lower Kenai Monday.I saw you'll be busy Fri,Sat,and Sunday with other stuff.Call me and let's make it happen.
Maybe we can take a Nova Scotian with us if he's up to it..You know I have extra boats.

We are sitting at the airport now. Be landing in anchorage at 7 tonight. Taking off tomorrow morn early and heading to Soldotna. The wife and I would be game for anything. Stay at Kenai river retreat with Marv and Janet St Clair

  Stay tuned.........

Kardinal,

We left Anchorage a few days ago and we are now in Denali.  My last shot this trip for AK ocean kayaking will be Haines next week. 

Glad to hear you got the Hobie.  With the pedals I was able to fish the last couple of hours of your tide change, the slack tide, and first couple of hours of the next tide.   I was able to jig a 3-6 oz jig by adjusting my speed.  By the time I left the Kenai I was very comfortable with the tides.  The Hobie will allow you to go places that wouldn't be possible with paddles.  You were wise to get the Turbo Fins.   

I didn't try the Hobie in any rivers or creeks but it looks like a Hobie could perform in many places that the drift boats do, as long as the water is deep enough for the fins.  You may be the start of a new way of fishing the Kenai, both fresh and salt.   NCKA has a lot of Hobie users who have posted years of experiences, rigging, and ideas, good and bad.  Don't hesitate to contact me or post on NCKA if you have any questions.  Definitely contact me if you get to NorCal.

I got a tip on a hali hole the day I left Ninilchic.  PM me if you're interested.  I don't have the gps numbers but I think I can get you there.  Best of luck.

A Report I Don't Want To Make

 After making an initial face -to-face contact with Ted and Sherry at the Kenai River Resort ,our 1st planned trip was called off due to nasty weather forcast.I have called a few times and have been unable to connect again,at least by phone.Maybe I need to try to find them in person again.I don't want to interrupt any of their schedualed plans,but I feel sure that their vacation time is starting to run short.
What would be the best course of action to take hear ? They have my phone number.What would you do ?
