Alaska Fishing Homer Spit: Pollock and Sole

Alaska Fishing Homer Spit: Pollock and Sole

Today we fished the Homer Spit next to the Lands End hotel. We fished a three-way rig using a Thundermist T-turn swivel connected to a 2oz sinker and a beads and blade flatfish rig. Bait was Eulachon and Pollock cut-bait. We caught numerous pollock and sole and also saw cod and a halibut caught. Good luck fishing!

3-week Solo Kayak Camping and Fishing in Alaska one last lake (part 7)

3-week Solo Kayak Camping and Fishing in Alaska one last lake (part 7)

This is Part 7 of a series of videos from a 3-week solo kayak camping and fishing trip thru south Alaska. No extra supplies were available in this remote region on the southern end of Prince of Wales Island. My survival depended on everything that I could pack into a kayak including my food. I paddled from the port of Ketchikan for four days to reach this area. This trip was planned around bushcraft survival skills with fish providing the majority of my food. Although other people visit this area during the summer by boat and float plane at times I did not see another human being for days. The kayak allowed me to portage up into remote lakes with all my gear, and many of these lakes are only accessible by float plane or hiking.

In this video, I am leaving a camp at the Johnson River mouth where black bears feed on salmon day and night for the two days (see part 6). Often times these bears would walk past my tent, but they were interested in fish and not in bothering me or my gear. It made for some unforgettable camping conditions. After hiking for several hours inland to Johnson lake I realized that I would never be able to bring my kayak up to the lake and I pushed onward to the final lake on the trip.

At this point in the trip, I am running low on the food that and I am relying more on fish as my main food source. In this video (part 7) the camp that I leave has abundant salmon and trout, but the camp that I arrive at has almost no fish (part 8). The only fish I am able to catch at the second camp are pink salmon that have been in the fresh water for several weeks or longer. These are poor quality eating fish, and I primarily ate the eggs. Additionally, bad weather is coming in fast at this second camp and the conditions of the passage into this lake make it impossible to leave until after the storm has passed. In the next episode (Part 8) the heavy rainfall forces me to seek refuge in a hunters cabin until the storm passes and the water level of the lake falls.

Alaska’s Chena Lakes Trout Fishing

Alaska’s Chena Lakes Trout Fishing

Alaska is well known for salmon, halibut, lingcod and rockfish. Meanwhile, those species aren’t found in the Interior. Team Pautzke flew to Fairbanks to get a different taste of fishing in America’s Last Frontier and after consulting with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game decided to make the hour journey to Chena Lakes State Recreation Area.

Armed with Pautzke FireBait and Balls O Fire salmon eggs, we found an open spot on the crowded bank and began casting in search of planted grayling and rainbows at 48 Mile Pond, one of the most heavily fished waters in the recreation area. The lake was packed with campers and anglers and with the mosquitoes taking a rest on this late August afternoon the FireBait took countless rainbows, while the Gold Label and Premium salmon eggs caught every grayling in the vicinity!

Alaskan King Crab Fishing – iLearn Documentary

Alaskan King Crab Fishing – iLearn Documentary

Alaskan king crab fishing is carried out during the fall months in the waters off the coast of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. The commercial harvest is performed during a very short season, and the catch is shipped worldwide. Large numbers of king crab are also caught in Russian and international waters.

In 1980, at the peak of the king crab industry, Alaskan fisheries produced up to 200,000,000 lb (91,000,000 kg) of crab. However, by 1983, the total size of the catch had dropped by up to 90% in some places. Several theories for the precipitous drop in the crab population have been proposed, including overfishing, warmer waters, and increased fish predation. As a result the current season is very short and in the 2010 season only 24,000,000 lb (11,000,000 kg) of red king crab were “landed”.

Alaskan crab fishing is very dangerous, and the fatality rate among the fishermen is about 80 times the fatality rate of the average worker. It is suggested that, on average, one crab fisherman dies weekly during the seasons.
