Well, just made it back... Last minute decision to run. Good day for sure, two of us in the boat, 9 fish, 7 of them in the realm of 39"-44" Two keepers 46" and 47"... A special thanks goes out to the guy that let me follow and find a couple new holes a weekend ago.... They paid off. 6 fish in the first hour of being there without another boat around... Thanks Huntnphool.... Are they going to extend it???? I guess wishful thinking on my part???
-
Way to go Cohoho :IBCOOL: well done grasshopper!!!!!
No worries on the secret holes just keep them between us ;) Glad to see you got into them, I will let you know what they say when I call them tomorrow.
-
Nice catch, maybe they will extend the season so you can get just one more trip in :dunno: It is sure a blast catching them fish that's for sure !!
Nice Job !! ;)
-
Ob-e-one, your secret is safe with me and my Garmin....... Besides anyone I take, I make sure they don't have a boat..... :chuckle:
-
I wish I didnt have some jobs to do tomorrow I would be down there. Oh well, if they don't extend it I may have to make another trip for pictures anyway.
-
Fantastic. What a score 8)

Nice Job cohoho! I'm glad to see you hit it on a hot day after all the time you've been putting in!!! :)
-
Okay guys here is the skinny. F&G is having a meeting on the 26th to discuss extending the sturgeon season. They know the catch was not even close to the quota and realize the fish are late due to water temp, high runoff etc. and realize the temp is just now getting to where the fish will head into the river and start feeding. Of course this may mean they will try and save the majority of them and keep it closed but at least they are going to discuss it. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Nice Job Cohoho!
Let me know whe you guys have anotehr empty rod. I'm serious when I say I could help with gas. Rob was nice enough to let me pay my speeding ticket instead. :)

:yike: Didn't hear about that one !!
-
Yeah, westside apparantly is all 55, and I am used to 60, with my speed usually about 65. Well, I got tagged at 68. He was not in a good mood whatsoever and didn't drop it one or two mph. I had a clean record and everything. Now I don't. He was jsut doing his job, and I was guilty. He jsut wasn't very nice about it , and kind of hassled me. Mom raised a strange son though, I thanked him for the ticket and on I went. $144 dollars later..........

OH CRAP that sucks !!
Well maybe one of the potholes will get filled in around here with your generous donation !! :chuckle:
Sorry to hear about that one !!

If you guys go let me know and I'll try and bring my boat out of mothballs and piece it together to work... Plenty of room on my boat Bone...but I have no idea who is going to bait our hooks or cast for us! :dunno:
-
You guys got any empty seats and need someone to split the cost of gas let me know, Id love to get down there and help put a couple in the boat! James

Let me know if there is something I can do to help you get it ready :dunno:

My dad and I got half way through remodeling the interior. I have to install the refrigerator and finish the teak. I have to install our fish finder... And we need to get bed liner sprayed in the back of the boat. Oh, and I have no radio hooked up as for now. I guess it's useable as is, but it's rough. Probably 2 good long days of work. I'll let you guys know. Regardless, there is always something to fish out there.
-
I'm hoping you get bored one day and want to show me how to catch a halibut or a ling. I think I can bait my own sturgeon hook now. I got lots of practice. :) Go catch some sockey and then teach me how to halibut fish would ya.

but I have no idea who is going to bait our hooks or cast for us!
bone can cast too...i've seen him do it. 8)

No real teaching necessary. I get a big hook, put a huge piece of bait on it (anything stinky) and drop it down. Don't waste time jigging. Just open a cold one until the pole goes down. No need to set the hook like sturgeon, just take your time and get to the pole after you put your beer in a cup holder. The butt isn't going anywhere. I'm thinking July...
-
Let me know if you get any ideas, I am signing up for extra shifts like cord wood trying to fill the gas tank for Montana.
-
Look out, got my kicker today, just put it on and going to test it in the local lake. Ready to fish the switch times versus playing mercy to the wind and current gods.... Heading in the morning for some catch and release... Got a new rod and reel that needs challenged and HuntWA has his anchor pulling gloves and is ready for some action..... If anyone else is on the river give a hollar to us on #68 COHOHO....
-
Good luck you guys !!!

I'm jealous!

That is my type of fishing. :IBCOOL:

Allright guys, its just as I thought. Looks like they are going to open up sturgeon retention on specific dates. Get your boats and gear ready and grab some buddies to help split the gas bill, it should be pretty good fishing :IBCOOL:
