Come join us for the 19th annual winter king salmon derby!Winter King Salmon TournamentMarch 17, 2012 We invite you to join in the fun at Homer’s 19th Annual Winter King Salmon Tournament! Anglers from all over Alaska come to fight for that winning salmon in this one day fishing extravaganza. The average year sees over 900 serious fishermen participating in this event, with our peak so far reaching 1072 anglers! Last year there were 248 boats participating in this GREAT day of FUN, with the overwhelming participation of so may businesses and anglers. A special part of the tournament is the merchandise prize give-away that takes place every five minutes over the vhf radio. Every angler in the tournament is automatically entered into this random drawing. Anglers look forward to the sound of the ship’s bell on the radio which alerts them to the next drawing, giving many anglers their five minutes of fame; It means you don’t even have to catch a fish in this tournament to win a prize! Register in person at the Homer Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center, by phone at (907)235-7740 or download your registration form here!
