Title: Homer Winter King Derby results
Post by: Klondike Kid on March 25, 2018, 06:32:31 AM
Angler-wise it appeared to be a good turnout with 1267 entrants and 375 boats. Total of 105 kings were entered with the winner being 24.60 pounds....and a white king at that garnering an extra $100 (or more) for that category.

Unfortunately the final results don't show any entry in the Kayak Division. So if one of the poly fleet actually entered a fish and won be sure to chime in here.

This year there was about 20% white kings entered.

No love for the kayaks. Lawngjohn had one up to the boat and it got off, and a few take downs and followers.

Yeah....not a good day for fishing off the condos. Wife and I fished for 3.5 hrs with nothing but a flounder. Went in for lunch, and she stayed at hotel for a nap. I went back out for 4 more hours...Nada. I didn't see a fish come into a kayak or any of the various boats that hung around the area. Too bad. Usually someone gets a fish.

There's always next year....
