Title: Homer/WG Memorial Weekend?
Post by: AKFishOn on May 22, 2017, 09:54:31 AM
Will be camping in Homer over the weekend, arriving Friday afternoon, departing Monday. The wife is bringing a friend so I am off the hook for all the tourista crap.  Will be hitting Homer and WG as much as possible. And maybe hit the Anchor or Deep Creek.  Would greatly appreciate some company.  Tight lines!

Michilutiiq and I will be down near Homer this weekend as well. Sadly, we've been slammed or the weathers been bad every time we've tried to fish this year so this will be our first weekend out on our Hobbies this year. We're planning to fish Homer, Anchor Point and/or WG depending on weather and tides. I'm sure we'll see you there!

Look forward to fishing with y'all.  Looks like late-morning slack/transitional tides, good for me, I can stay up late at the campfire. ;-)

Hopefully the forcast gets better. I hope to get back to the gulch this weekend. Will have to see what the forcast is later this week.

Not looking good so far...damn.  If it's no good, I'll leave the yak and focus on kings out of the Anchor or Deep Creek.

Not sure what my plans are.  Forecast is all over the board.  Won't know until we get closer.  Try the following link.  You can change the days with the slider bar down at the bottom.  In addition you can check the different forecasting models by clicking on different models in the lower right had part of the screen.  They definitely don't match up.

Forecasts are different each site I check.  Saturday maybe, Sunday mid-morning more likely.

Talked to a friend who is a deckhand on a Deep Creek Charter boat. They went out this morning (it was calm early) and caught three kings. Then the wind kicked in with a vengeance.

They're out there. If we can just get a break this weekend.

Right now Windy.com shows Whisky might be o.k. Saturday. If not that, the spit might work. I'm ready for a fresh king.

Yah the copper river king dilema by the state is crazy.  I hope they are correct in saying it will be a strong run.  3600 kings leaving only 400 for their quota last time i heard.

Sure did. Looking at mid morning between tides tomorrow. If water is too rough, I'll fish the lagoon.

I think I'll troll around the green can tomorrow and look at WG Sunday. There is a good chance of halibut there as well.

Who's that getting to launch in front of the condos? I see red and yellow Outbacks. Forgot my thermals at camp, I'll be back!

Just stopped by wg.  Seas were good at dead low but pretty breezy from the north. Not sure with the huge tides what conditions woukd be once the current started flowing against the wind.  Going to look at Homer then check WG again at high tide.

Didnt see any marks on fish finder trolling around the condos to the end of the spit, getting some turkey sandwich fuel and waiting for the tide to run its course and will what were gonna do from there.

Picked up a smallish white king trolling cut plug herring out towards the green can.  Also a tiny halibut and a p-cod.

If the weather holds, i will try this evening.  Its too bad. With these ultra low tides, the fishing might have been good on the Anchor Point reef.  But Im lazy so Im hoping the wind stays down for a 430pm ish launch to hit the high tide.

How's it looking over there?  Chillin at camp in Homer enjoying a little rare sunshine. Sure would rather be sitting in the yak going after some butts.
