Still open water fishing in Alaska in February!

Thanks for sharing Brutha ! Your videos and reports keep me motivated that I will make it up there soon. I will take you up some day some on your invite. 
  Oh ! and awesome job getting out there in crazy cold temps. But I guess your are acclimated to the temps..   And the invite is open as well if you make it to the Monterey bay area !!!

nice video!
Every time I see a fish jump even in a video it makes me wanna go a bit more

I tell Ya I'm envious of all the activity on this forum. You all rock.

Invite is always open to NCKA members. I have an extra outback and we just got our first Hobie Dealership that is also going to do a few rentals. C'mon up!!!! It's virtually year round!!

Bushy, email me your address again. Your Fukushima buoy will be on its way!

Cool video I have never been to Alaska but it is on my bucket list!

cool!

I know I'd Love to catch some big Alaska fish in my yak, as probably a lot of other Ca. anglers would as well...
Some day it may happen after the kids college bills are gone?
Great report!
Thanks

You can catch the same fish in Humboldt until you make a trip to Alaska except you have to release the yelloweyes and canaries.

Just because you can catch the same species doesn't mean you are anywhere near the "Alaska Experience".  Not even close ...

True. Humboldt isn't "The Alaska Experience" but neither is Alaska the Humboldt experience.  I wonder if fishing out of Homer and in the Cook inlet might be less difficult in a kayak than crossing the bar and fishing the open waters offshore.

not fishing related but I got really close to doing a backpack camping trip to Alaska with my Army roommate way back when.  But then I receive orders for South Korea .  I ended up instead clearing my unit and packing my stuff for Korea.  My room mate ended up going and even was taken and picked up by my dad to the Airport....
Hoping to do camping and fishing and have the Alaskan experience there in the future...thanks for the post.

You alll crck mee up.  I wish I had more to contribute so I can stay up with everything here better!!!

Having lived on the Pacific Ocean side of Washington (Ocean Shores, WA) I can tell you that fishing Homer and the areas I fish in Southcentral Alaska are INFINITELY EASIER in terms of launches and sheer size of water.  Where we fish it's 99% wind chop most of the time.  I have NEVER seen anyone kayak fishing wearing a helmet here in Alaska and I haven't yet found a place whee I would even remotely think about it. 

Ok, so we deal with a little colder weather, typically longer drives (this spot is a 450 mile round trip for me) and a LOT fewer people.  We do have some awful nice fish though!   It is an experience unique to Alaska but know that for someone who lives up here, I see your posts and think YOU GUYS are the ones living the dream!!!!

450 miles round trip...
Holy Crap!!
I thought those guys from the valley had a long drive
