King Salmon Season begins! Homer, Alaska - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So I try and take a gander at these forums to see the different species and to daydream about being able to fish without a drysuit. lol

While most folks are putting way their hunting gear and prepping their ice fishing gear, here in Southcentral Alaska, it is time to gear up for the winter king salmon. Typically smaller than the kings we intercept on their way to spawning rivers, these Kings just mill around the bay for a few years util they head back south to their originating streams.

Had not caught a September King and waited till the final weekend. Went 3 for 6 on both Saturday and Sunday. Kept 5. This batch of kings make it 13 consecutive months I have caught a king salmon from my kayak in Alaska! Should be great fishing through December!
