2011 Trip - Awesome Alaska fishing

Dave King of Choice Tool (Minneapolis) and Brian Pascoe of Prototek spent three incredible days fishing from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. out of Homer, Alaska -- 25 miles out on Kachemak Bay.  The halibut, salmon and cod were hitting hard and steady (and we did much the same at the Salty Dawg Saloon on Homer Spit in the evening).

It’s a five hour direct flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage. Then a scenic four hour drive south through the Kenai Peninsula to Homer making it an unforgettable five day trip.  Congratulations Dave!
