    25 vs 30 trolling

    I’m going back and forth between a 25 and a 30 for my 16’ G3. I have a 2 stroke 25 now and I do troll with it occasionally on the Columbia for salmon mostly during September so I want the ability to do that without the motor fighting me. I guess my main question is if anyone has tried to roll...

    Beads

    I use them for steelhead and don’t seem to have any issues.

    San Salvador Access Willamette

    Has anyone used the San Salvador access ramp by St Paul on the Willamette recently? It’s conveniently located for where Im trying to go but I’ve heard that you don’t want to leave anything including your rig there unattended…

    What to do about an Anchor?

    95% of the time less than 25ft. Usually there’s a hard sand or mud or rock bottom where I am.

    What to do about an Anchor?

    I bought a 16’ g3 last weekend. It came with a 28lb rocker anchor on it but it’s so big it’s just unmanageable. The boat weighs maybe 1400 lbs fully loaded and with people in it. I’m curious what other people might recommend from their own experience on a good size anchor? I’m going to mount it...

    Trolling Motor Ideas

    So I’m going to be getting a 16’ G3 in the next month and my thought was to get a nice electric trolling motor with spot lock to use instead of a kicker because the boats so light. I’m pretty sure I want a bow mount so it’s out of the way. I guess my main question is if anybody has any...

    Oregon Steelhead 2024

    Adipose fin will be clipped if it’s a hatchery. Can’t keep wilds. Get a reg book and read it to make sure you know what’s open and what’s not because OSP doesn’t tend to take to lightly to people not doing their homework.

    Oregon Steelhead 2024

    I catch winter fish all the way into May on the coast. As long as you don’t mind it mostly being wild fish, it’s a lot of fun to have the river to yourself.

    Oregon Steelhead 2024

    90% of what I do for winter steelhead is bobber dogging. Summer steelhead which will be coming soon, I fish spinner like 80% of the time and maybe a jig here and there.

    In search of good bluegill water near Portland

    Hang lake can be pretty good but it’s a lot easier if you have a kayak or something like that. I know you said Portland but a lot of coastal lakes have some pretty good size bluegill believe it or not. Most lakes have bigger ones, the smaller ones are just usually more eager to bite and are...

    Oregon Steelhead 2024

    Had a solid quick morning session yesterday, went 2/4 between my dad and I. Some new prototype Soft Beads got it done.

    It’s time to get serious

    So I’ve been toying the idea of getting a boat for fishing and waterfowl hunting purposes for the past year or so but haven’t really gotten to serious about it until recently. I’ve been saving and am about at the point where it’s time to really start figuring out what exactly I’m looking for and...

    Klamath duck opener

    So I drew for the B unit at miller island for the opener, just curious if any has hunted there before and knew how the whole process worked. My plan was to drive down Friday so find a couple good spots then sleep in the truck in line. If anyone has any experience with that opener or how the...
