Columbia Sturgeon Today
« on: March 06, 2010, 10:27:17 PM »
Was heading to above Bonneville but winds were kicking hard 25 gust, to much for me in that wind tunnel so we decided instead to hit Kalama since we were enroute past there anyhow.....  A bit rough in the morning as just nibble bites with no hook ups till after 1200 :bash:.   Then a couple here and there until 5:00 - then it kicked into over drive.  Hooking and releasing as fast as we could keep bait in the water for the next hour.. Numerous doubles... and went home with two keepers, one for each of us.... a 47" and a 48"....  My friend with his first Sturgeon and then another with his first keeper..  Only no kisses...  :yike:

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook twice?

Looks like fun. Buddy has been hitting that hole every weekend for a month.  He said it is starting to slow down for the number of keepers he is seeing caught.  Still getting em, but not as many as earlier.

Was heading to above Bonneville but winds were kicking hard 25 gust, to much for me in that wind tunnel so we decided instead to hit Kalama since we were enroute past there anyhow.....  A bit rough in the morning as just nibble bites with no hook ups till after 1200 :bash:.   Then a couple here and there until 5:00 - then it kicked into over drive.  Hooking and releasing as fast as we could keep bait in the water for the next hour.. Numerous doubles... and went home with two keepers, one for each of us.... a 47" and a 48"....  My friend with his first Sturgeon and then another with his first keeper..  Only no kisses...  :yike:

I have caught many keepers where your anchored up.  It is a good spot with some good depth.   :tup:
Cut em!
