Sturgeon anyone?

[Ripper]

  I've gone twice lately and haven't had any luck. Anybody else doing any better. I fish up by Marysville.

[bankwalker]

there stilly should have some in there right now. its hit and miss at best. one day you might hook a couple or 7 and then go weeks without a fish let alone a bite.

I hope to git out this weekend,but I've never fished for sturgeon.I did a little research,and I know a couple of spots to try out.

Went to the multnohma channel again this last friday. The weather was perfect even seen a few bald eagles. Fishing was just that fishing no catching still felt good being on the water.

Going to the columbia Friday.  Our guide friend said they caught 32 on one trip with no keepers, week and a half ago.  So we have high hopes

[Ripper]

Well good luck to you all. I agree, any time on the water is good time spent. Had it been open for crab I would have taken home a limit. Must have brought at least a dozen to the boat, many more came off. 6 were keeper size, with 2 over 7 IN. Unfortunately they'll probably all be fished out by the time the white mans season comes around.

here is a couple from Drano I caught. I had one on that was about 5 foot long. I got it along side the boat and it snapped my line off. Most of them were smaller ones but fun to catch. We caught 8 in one night while we were fishing for steel head.

Ripper, I can go and have a good spot to try if your up for it. U got a boat?

[Ripper]

Hey Pete, haven't heard from you in a while. I haven't forgotten about ya. Yes i have a boat, full canvas,gear, even places to go, Just haven't had much time. When I did get time I couldn't find fish. Hopefully next w/e I'll be able to get out. We haven't had very good tides lately, I hope we get some good lows during daylight hours. If I keep hearing about these 30 fish plus days, I might have to go down to the Columbia!

[pjb3]

Cool, just let me know when you wanna go out and give it a try

Nice Job Tonto, Do you fish shallow water, or out in the deeper channels? I fished the Columbia one time years ago and didn't like fishing the big tackle in deep water. Too much like work, like halibut fishing in Neah Bay. I like fishing the shallows up where I live, however I haven't had any 10, 20, 30 fish days like you guys down south. I may have to toughen up and head down.

Actualy I've been fishing the Cowlitz, just some hungry sturgeon without enough smelt to go around. Good thing I got some last year's smelt in the freezer, dosen't look like I'm gonna restock this year.
