oops Galileo was the guy who thought the earth revolved around the sun, not that the earth was round. Proves what an idiot I am, but I'll go with that theory too.
I don't listen to the liberal mainstream media only FOX news but I still feel like the opinions of 97% of the international scientific community outweighs the opinions of a few dudes from a local fishing forum. Galileo's had this theory that the earth is round and I guess that is still refutable...
Great post John! I had a blast out there too. Those were for sure some scrappy sturgeon on Sunday and I have to admit that I'm already looking forward to doing it again. I must say that I feel a stronger connection to everyone in the Portland area now that I have spent a day dipping my hands in...
killer write-up John. I'm glad I talked you into giving that a try. You definitely have the character to go after walleye here. I don't know why I keep coming back for more because some days I just troll and troll and troll for maybe one nice quality fish, then I get it and just toss it back...

I did pretty well on the Willamette this spring and was very pleased to go 8 for 8 with a couple of limits in my new kayak.
Man, I love catching springers 10 minutes from home!
Awesome post again John- made me feel like I was there tugging on the fish myself.
Of course, I was there for an hour or so, but you would have to be absolutely insane to stay out there once the wind picked up like that. And who would have expected to absolutely molest the sturgeon in those...
John, I think it is cool that you keep trying to catch some sturgeon up above the falls despite a continuing lack of success. It requires some character to keep going up there even though you are notoriously capable of catching fish down below. Even without any intention of keeping one, you...
thanks guys for all of your detailed info in response to bubs' thread. I am new to spoon fishing and had tons of questions which were answered here.
You are what make this such a cool forum!
The bait controversy which Bass and I have discussed repeatedly sure is an interesting topic and one that might never die. Luckily, I have still to this day never been seriously out-fished because I only use herring. I think they will just always bite it no matter what. I don't know if the...
I think this thread is great! 3 different great sturgeon spots shared with the public. AYFOF's dock is fully legal and I have fished (and people-watched) there for years. It seems like it fishes better once we get some rain and current. That Jefferson St. ramp spot and the train-trestle spot I...
Thanks. I did not get a good start on the day, but I think the overcast conditions might have helped. I was trolling close to the Sauvie Island Boat Ramp focusing on 25-35fow. I tried again on Monday in my kayak in the hot sun and got nothing but sunburned. I would love to learn more about...
I went out to the channel yesterday to target walleye for the first time. Expectations were low because I had never fished for them before, but apparently I did the right research to hook into a couple of quality fish. My first was 22.5 inches and then later I landed this good looking 26 inch...
If you can make it up to Tillamook Bay, I would recommend trying Barview Jetty. I have been fishing the south jetty from my kayak lately and doing really well. Believe me, its all about the Berkely Gulp! 4" black shad minnow on a 1/4, 3/8, or 1/4oz jig head if you want to dominate the small...
