  • Today we are heading down to Homer Alaska for a halibut fishing trip. On the way down we will stop off at the Russian River to check out the sockeye run, it is a little early, but it is worth a look. We arrive on the Homer Spit and spend the night in the back of my tuck (dirt bagging it) and in the morning I have breakfast on the tailgate of my truck, see a lady catch a king salmon in the lagoon and then we go fishing for Halibut. Finally, I show how to fillet a halibut and then stop into the Salty Dog saloon to pick up a sweatshirt for my daughter.

    "If you came to Alaska to catch a King Salmon that wasn't it." That cracked me up. I've been to the Salty Dog, in 1992, I think. Back then we chased King Salmon on the Kenai and Kasilof. I can't wait to follow along for the summer. Good luck!

      Thank you very much. Not all that long ago, there were monster kings on the Kenai. I fear those days are gone, perhaps forever. It is super sad and I’ve watched the decline, and forecast it, over the last 20 years. I honestly thought they would have done something before it got this bad. That said, I’ll be out for reds and halibut very soon. 🎣

    Early season fishing is always spotty.

    You always have great camera angles! I’ve never seen anyone fillet a halibut before, that was really interesting.

      Thank you. Halibut are weird critters, there is no backbone on either side, so the first cut is just how/where you choose to make it.

    Just wondering if you are going to cover the Bibb number draw for the Iditarod ? Thanks Sam

      I started a quick video on it, but have not finished it. I’ll get on completing that project.

    I liked your video. Some guys just show themselves fishing in one spot or something. Boring. Thanks 😊

      Thank you, I’ve probably done videos like that in the past as well. That said, I have a hard time watching those for a long too.
