Sturgeon Fishing July 5, 07

Well my Dad and I went sturgeon fishing today at a slough off the Columbia by Kalama Washington. Man was it HOT!!! And WINDY!!! The wind made it really hard to keep you bait still so the fish would bite. After a short period I changed my sinker to a pyramid style 12 oz. sinker. It held the bait a little more steady and I began to get bites. Man those suckers are hard to hook. The day wasn't very productive as I only landed 2 shakers, my Dad couldn't catch a break. They were both around 38 inches but the 2nd one had some good shoulders. I'm sorry I don't have any pic's but my camera batteries died. At least I'm not posting on that other thread. One of these days I'm going to catch a keeper!!!

Way to hang Ron, it will happen.......sometimes it just takes eating a sandwich and staring OFF into space for it to happen.

What size were the shakers.....

Scott, they were both around 38 inches. Not far from keepers but couldn't stretch them enough, HaHa.

If I was in my kayak with those fish I'd be the shaker!
