5th Annual Alaska Yak Classic (Kayak Halibut Derby)

June 24, 2017 @ 5:00 am - 6:00 pm

Fishing is at Whisky Gulch for kayak anglers will and able to tackle Cook Inlet Halibut.

The Tournament starts at daylight or in this case 4:45am.
The tournament will end at 6pm.

The winner will be the single largest halibut by weight.  If for some reason we don’t have a scale large enough, we will go by length.

The timing means you get to hit the ULTRA low minus tide (minus 5.2) which is at 9:54am and if you don’t catch fish by then, you can also hit the high tide at 4pm though you will have to stay closer to the launch.

With the bigger tides, the current will change fairly quickly after the shore high tide.

I wil be contributing a trophy and some fishing gear.

Aaron of 907 kayakers (https://www.facebook.com/907kayakers/) has graciously donated a $100 gift certificate from Sportsman’s warehouse.

Ken Wake from Prepper’s Pack (https://www.facebook.com/prepperspack.08/)has said he would donate items as well.

If anyone would like to contribute or know someone who will, let me know.  I will make sure they get mentioned.  I will also keep updating this thread with any new information or prizes.

The main focus is just a get together and bragging rights.
