BWAHAHA...Homer is virtually all ours!!!

I've got a big back yard and deck we can use as a link up. I can even break out the fryer and halibut.

You are hired!!!  Lol. People should starting thinking about what works. Obviously it needs to work for the host!!!

Any evening next week works for me. So whatever works best for the majority I am good with.

I'll be there (wherever....)

The September date is good for me

Ill be traveling to OR next week from 15th through 17th, trying to get my last halibut run in before then.   Almost any night except those three would work for me.

So far it looks like weekend of the 26th is free.

Going to try and fish while your here?

Next week I'll be spending a week on Shemya Island hopefully catching halibut from the pier...and afterward I'm visiting in laws in Cali till October.   Rudy, I'll join you as soon as I'm back, and give you your hard drive back.

Sounds good. My guys in Adak are hammering big fish in 30ft of water. I got to get out there and try it!!! Be safe!!!

No hurry on the drive.

No chance of fishing - getting my daughter off to OSU but it's a great idea to come down for some angling and a visit later. 

For now it's dad = checkbook to launch the college experience. ...

So its getting about that time to start firing up Homer as a destination for the kings.  This past weekend I managed three cohos hooked of which two were on the coho killer spoons. 

We should start thinking about a  date for a Homer get together.  I am thinking Sept 26 or Oct 2.  Prefer the Sept date only since I don't have kid duty that weekend. 

Thought about this thread because I just got in the mail my two new lures that I hope to test under light line conditions.  Love these things for trout so I know the action is good.  Looks like sandlances to me.  Right now is a good time for me to try lures versus bait since I don't want to carry a whole tray of bait just in case I limit on halibut becasue often times I don't limit on halibut. 


Really any tutorial I can give is going to be just an elongated version of "Drive to Homer.  Put bait in the water.  Troll till ya drop." 

You WILL catch one if you follow that simple advice.  Herring with a pound of weight.  A naked spoon.  Hoochies with a dodger.  Really anything.  They are SUPER easy.  It's really a cool kind of fishing.  Unlike the freshwater salmon fishing which many of us are used to, these fish are out to kill other fish to eat and evolution has turned them into eating machines. 

Obviously weather dependent but I will commit to fishing in Homer Sept 26 unless otherwise noted in this or another planning thread. I also think a get together amongst the group to hash over the season and plan the coming king fishery might be in order.  Who is in for a mid week pizza or something get together let's say next week to swap stories?  Frankly it might be easier for a BYOB and food get together at someones place.  My place is too small.  That way we can breal out gear and such and even tie up rigs to prepare.   

 I laugh when I hear of folks putting their fishing gear away and even starting to talk about ice fishing.  The season BEGINS at the end of this month!  LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!

I used Crystal Minnows with some success out of WG this year, actually caught one on the barbie pole...nothing beats a green/red label in the end!
