Alright guys, I figured I'd start this thread so everyone has a place to post any good info on when the kings show up, as well as a place to show off once the catching gets good. I know that there was a previous thread named "the kings are in", but this one will be a little easier for people to...

Alright guys, I shot this video while we were out on a 3-day trip last weekend and thought I'd share it with you all. These guys look like baby killer whales, but in fact they are dall's porpoises. We just slowed down to 3 MPH and started filming. You can tell by our surroundings that the...

Does anyone else here think that the supposed "surplus" of shrimp ADFG reported may be directly linked to the personal use guys under-reporting their catches last year on their permit cards? I remember quite a bit of discussion last year on this very forum where guys were saying "report that you...

Has anyone here bought a derby ticket for the Whittier Halibut/Salmon Derby? I heard from the guys at the Whittier Chamber of Commerce booth at the shows that they were running one this year, but wasn't sure of whether it was worth it or not. I can't imagine catching a huge halibut or salmon...

Alright, per Breausaw's request, here's the newly created thread for Whittier 4-23! Who's planning on hitting the water next week since obviously the weather hasn't been on our side for this one? Post your call sign and maybe we can get some AOF chatter going out there giving each other updates...

I thought it would be fun to put a face to the users on here that we all conversate with on a regular basis. Upload a photo of yourself, let's see those ugly mugs! :D

I had posted this on another thread, but wanted to get some input on what you guys thought of this... Here's an off-the-wall idea that you guys might be interested in. Have you ever heard of a biodegradable chum bomb? This is what you'll need to make one: 1. A few rocks that are...

It's the mother of all sea lice! Maybe this is what jacked up one of my pots last year! :eek: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/03/30/terrifying-sea-critter-from-oceans-depths/?test=faces

Hi all. I have a co-worker and his father that are in need of an air or water taxi to take them from Anchorage or Whittier to Coghill Lake and back. They will need a drop-off on July 3rd, and a pick-up on July 6th. I was originally going to take them via boat, but had some things come up and...

I just got done doing a water pump removal/replacement on my 2005 Johnson 15hp 2-stroke and am having a slight problem now that everything is back together. I re-attached the shift linkage while both the motor and lower unit were in neutral. The motor is able to shift to forward, reverse, and...

I've done a bit of searching on here and have not been able to come up with a decent idea for how to store my 600 feet of leaded line (1/4" 3-strand) that I use for shrimping. I will be doing it from a 22' C-Dory, but more often will take out my 12.5' Zodiac to pull the pots when the family...

I've been searching this forum, as well as the ADFG website, for the answers to this question, but can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Where can I find the regulation that covers the legal size of the entries on shrimp pots? I have a pot that meets the 7/8's rule for the wire spacing...

Okay, so last month I was on business down in Indianapolis, and while there had visited a local sporting goods store (Dick's Sporting Goods). They had a wide array of catfish baits, which sort of got me thinking. Catfish baits is made to be stinky as heck and send out a scent trail, so it...

Hey guys, I've got a coulple of quick questions that I hope one of you may have the answers to. First, has anyone heard of how much the 2009 Whittier annual launch permits will cost, or when they will be available for purchase? Second, if I do pick up one of these permits, is it linked to...

Does anyone know where the heck I can get my hands on a 2009 tide chart book? I am currently trying to schedule some leave and some family trips for next spring/summer and really need to have the tide table to work it around. I am primarily looking for the Cordova charts. Thanks for the help!

Hi all. I am taking my boat out of Seward for the first time this Friday, and plan on fishing Resurrection Bay only as far south as Fox Island or so. A buddy of mine and I are hoping to hook up with some silvers, rock fish, and even possibly a small halibut or two. Due to the fact that we...

Couple quick questions for you guys. I have a Zodiac that I am going to launch down in Whittier this weekend, but am unsure of where I can do it easily and legally. I'm bringing it down in the back of my truck, so I think I am not able to use the boat ramp since I don't have a trailer. Is...
