So this Spring I've gotten to know the Gilbert River and its sturgeon pretty well. The tide obviously influences the Gilbert in a dramatic way, by like, uh..changing the direction it flows..and obviously this often had a big effect on the bite! (My experience suggested outgoing was best btw..though on some days the action was so intense it didn't matter)
Now that most of the sturgeon have seemingly moved out into deeper water with rising water temps, I'd like to give the Gilbert a rest (pretty much a bullhead & perch show these days) and occasionally bomb some casts out into the Multnomah Channel and/or the Willamette (e.g. at Kelly Point) for sturgeon. Can anyone tell me if (and how) the tide affects the sturgeon bite in these waters?
