Post by: cohoho on July 28, 2008, 02:28:16 PM: We had a great trip, one bad part was not looking the night before for the freaking updated closure.... Drove all the way to Chinook to find out they lifted the last day of retention. Man, I see why some of you get frustrated on the F & G here. Set something and quit changing it when the wind blows... Anyhow we decided, we'd rather fish for something to eat than a high hardily hello and goodbye. So we headed up hwy #30, found a couple places to launch, some better than others for sure, we finally hit the water about two hours later than we wanted but, still managed to find an area and did pretty good. Question for anyone: Where is a spot to buy fresh bait in Longview area?????? I kind of like that area, makes for shorter trip and we got into some good fish... Some more exploring soon..... One day I'll finally make the Bonnelville dam for those Monsters? Anyone have some experiance in those biggens, now that retention is over till Oct or something like that??? Besides, I think Ray is getting to the point he needs to be challenged for 80 -100 foot anchor pulls..... Oh by the way, ask him his new call sign, or soon to be call sign....... He is growing his hair out too from what I hear......

Post by: tlbradford on July 29, 2008, 09:55:39 AM: Are you driving through Longview on Ocean Beach Highway or heading South on I-5, or launching in town?

This was the go to place for your outdoor needs when I lived there, but a lot of minimarts and stores would carry fresh bait as well. However, I don't know if they sell live baitfish. I only fished one summer for Sturgeon and we put in on the Oregon side and bought the bait at the dock.

Post by: cohoho on July 29, 2008, 06:23:48 PM: tlbradford- Thanks for info, I'll be giving them a call.

My wife said it was time to get a hair cut but I didn't believe her till now.... Guess I'm going to have to come up with some groovy hand shake or flash a sign for now on, just hopefully I don't have to change my name to Homey-Ho now....

In all seriousness, are folks still interested in having a Sturgeon fishing trip/Camping get together before the bounties of the fall consume all of us???

Too late for me, I think I'm booked until the end of the year now. You still interested in hunting that area we talked about?
