Hey Bass! Yeah, that is a new NuCanoe...i destroyed the old one in 5 years of running it under power with the little outboard. I reinforced the transom in this one...so maybe it will last a little longer. This will be my last NuCanoe....i need it to last 3 more years...then I'm planning on...

Thanks! Yeah, I thought it was female, too. But no eggs inside. But no milt either....so I'm not really sure. I've never caught one in May that didn't have either eggs or milt.

Since I didn't fish from my kayak in 2020, it was great to be out on the Willamette River this morning for the first time in 2 years. I didn't feel like dealing with herring this year, so i decided to wait for warmer water temps to allow for strict hardware fishing. I launched right at sunrise...

That's actually pretty slick. I went to the Gheenoe website, and the 13' with a 5hp motor would be just about perfect for how I'm fishing. I wonder how durable they are.

The NuCanoe was stored indoors in my garage. It was fantastic for the first 4 years...then the leaks started coming. I really liked the freedom track system...I was able to outfit with multiple rod holders, fish finder, and even a downrigger for koke fishing. And super stable...i could stand...

After 81 trips and 5 years, my NuCanoe sot kayak is full of cracks and takes on too much water. I can't patch it up with plastic welds anymore. It lived a short life, but I trolled over 1,000 miles with it using a Suzuki 2.5 hp outboard motor, pushing it around at 6 mph. That created so much...

Great day on the water, Bass! The videos of the sturgeon were great, too. 11 hours on the water in a yak is a VERY long day. You were probably crawling when you finally got out on land. Looks like you got a new rod and reel combo for sturgeon?

Quick report: Launched at Roger's Landing at sunrise. Moss everywhere...spent half the time pulling moss off lures. Landed a total of 4 smallies (12 inchers) by 10:30am, then got off the water as the Father's Day recreation boat crowd arrived. All fish caught trolling hard bodied...

The streak continues. Wednesdays must be magic this spring. Pardon the terrible picture, but this king fought so hard and wore me out that I was not much in the mood for photos. But I did want to get a quick snapshot of the green Toman Thumper that he swallowed so deep. The water temp is 57F...

I prefer whitcomb creek ramp...research water levels of green peter to find out which ramps are best...but usually you wont have a problem at whitcomb creek. I think thistle creek ramp is sometimes unusable when water is too low. I've caught kokes in the lower part of both whitcomb creek and...

Thistle Creek Boat Ramp Foster, OR 97345 44.481069, -122.516966 whitcomb creek ramp 44.477915, -122.507209

There are two concrete ramps...one on the thistle creek arm, and one on the whitcomb creek arm. Plus there's an unimproved dirt launch on the quartzville arm...and i think you can launch on an unimproved ramp by the dam. Do a google search for Green Peter Reservoir map images and you should...

Last time I fished the lower Willy during a derby on a saturday was about a month ago and it was not fun. Too many boats at the ramps made it hard to launch and retrieve boats, and the parking lots were so packed some people couldnt' find parking. Plus so many people were on the river that the...

PM me and I'll tell you exactly where I'm fishing.

Thanks again guys. I hope to head out again next week. Looks like 4,000+ fish are over the Falls now. I'm wondering when people really start targeting them above the Falls.
