But the crab butter is the best part. Buddy of mine made a dip out of it and our friends that thought eating the crab butter was disgusting said it was amazing before he told them it was made out of the crab butter.
No waders, no problem lol. Man I remember catching a small mouth once. It was a 9 inch baby and that was years ago. Anyone know of any good place to do some C&R small mouth or large? Please pm me. I'd like to add small mouth to this years fishing list.
Man... So no angling at all for sturgeon at all right now till Sept 1st of that dock and anywhere near that place... Need to find another bank to fish off of that's closer to Salem.
Nice, thanks for the info. I use the Brad's hand tied leaders. 80lb line weight 7/0 hook size. I wonder how hard it would be for a +10ft sturgeon to snap 65# braid. I'd hate to thumb the spool to slow down an oversize just to have the line snap. Was thinking of going up to 80lb braid because of...

Went last week for the first time in my life. The experience was amazing and I have a new found respect for these dinosaurs. Now I need to find a spot to bank fish. Won't always have a boat available. They are opening up retention for these guys soon. Read about it on the odwf.
I know this is an old post but I just got into sturgeon fishing about a month ago. My buddy had a couple sturgeon setups that he let me use but he is right handed so it was awkward using a right hand reel. I went out and bought a 9' ugly stik elite extra heavy salmon rod rated a at 14-50lb line...
Depends on how big of a fish you are going to catch haha! I had no problem with the biggest ling I caught which was 26in on 15lb braid and 15lb floroclear leader. I also jetty fish for lings and heard that bigger fish are usually in deeper off shore waters. But I am gonna bump it up to 25lb...
Wow, sounds like a good reason to go get new fishing gear hahaha! Thanks for all the great info! Can't wait to hook into one now. Just got to wait for my day off and good weather to line up and i'll be out there.
How heavy of a tackle do you guys use for bank fishing sturgeon? I have a 6'6" medium rod attached to a abu spinning reel with about 150 yards of 30lb braid. I just heard about the dock in West Linn near the falls from a guy I talked to at a pond I was fishing at last weekend.
Nice, I was there last friday doing 2 hours before high tide into slack. Couple guys next to me were using sand shrimp and crankbaits. They didn't get a thing. I was slamming fish every 2-3 cast using swimbait. Ended up donating them to the guys when I left. What rods do you guys use. I been...
Where in depot bay do you guys fish at? I thought about walking under the bridge and out but it always looked full of kelp right in from of the whale watching center. Any info/tips?

Hey guys! New to this forum So I thought I start with a photo. Day before I caught a few brooders with my little brother on power eggs and kastmaster. Today not a bite, even on worms so I decided to experiment and used a curly tail jig that I use out on the jetty and first cast this...
