    New fish finder

    So many more options than I guess I was originially aware of. I had looked at a few on the shelf at Fisherman's, then I looked online at Cabela's and Bass Pro and realized all of the options. I am reminded again, because of your posts, why I like OFF so much. I'll be the first to admit that I'm...

    New fish finder

    Well, took my boat out about a week ago and watched the screen on my OLD Garmin Fishfinder 240 die in front of my face. Took it in to Fisherman's in Oregon City and they too couldn't breathe any more life back into my old friend. So now I am looking to purchase another one, but there are SO many...

    Sturgeon opening

    Okay so with that being said, and hopefully everybody else is also avoiding the willy :pray: does anybody know of a deep hole downstream of 205? I'd like to stay near meldrum bar if possible. My old spot was above the 205 bridge and now of course that area is still closed :-(

    Sturgeon opening

    Just curious as to who will be going out this week/weekend for sturgeon? I was hoping I'd get a chance to go this year, when I looked on ODFW's web page I was pleasantly surprised to see this: Sturgeon retention is closed, except for the following retention seasons: Retention allowed Thursday...

    Lost my biggest

    REAL fishermen (and women) act like family towards each other and get out of the way when you have a hawg on like that. Not only get out of the way, but sometimes help you in times of need. Heck, I had a guy get out into the water to net a salmon for me once when he saw me struggling, that is...

    Crawdads in the OC area

    Very cool, I'll go check these spots out this week and see if I can find a good hiding spot for my traps. I'm thinking of using black 550 paracord down to my traps so I can bury the line and hide them, I'm hoping to let the traps sit at least over night.

    Crawdads in the OC area

    Are you talking in Willamette Park area? I guess I had never thought about that area before, but good idea, that IS super close.

    Crawdads in the OC area

    Looking for a good place to leave a few traps in overnight to get a crawdad boil going. I have friends visiting from Alaska who have never even heard of crawdads/crawfish/mud bugs. I used to go off of Redland Rd on the Abernathy but the property that I was using was sold, the new owner says I...

    Willy Springer report

    Thanks guys! I guess it is worth a try, I had better get on the water now while it doesn't look like downtown LA traffic! I have a hole I like to fish near the falls, I'm hoping they are all stacked up waiting for me :)

    Willy Springer report

    Just looking to see if anybody has or has heard of catching any springers on the Willy as of yet? I know the water is still high and fast, but I was looking to fish close to home with friends of mine this next week, was hoping I'd have a chance on the Willy (looking to launch at Meldrum). Thanks...

    First Springer over the falls!

    I'm just waiting for the water level to go down a bit. Hopefully the river wont be super muddy either. I can't wait!!!

    Willy report?

    Looking to head out to the willy this weekend. Anybody fish around Oregon City lately? I haven't seen many boats on the water, so I can't imagine many fish caught...

    Quick salmon question?????

    Ok so I hit the willy hard for springers and only came out with one. I'd like to hook into a few Coho but don't think I should try buoy 10 with my 15 foot Alaskan smokercraft. Anybody have any suggestions for good coho/nook fishing this time of year with my boat?? Cuz damn, I'm SO effing ready...

    Hitting the Willy tomorrow

    Went out with the girl, and it was a bust. Saw two caught out of at least 70 boats...and that was between the falls and the 205 bridge. After meeting a few A holes and having some anchor difficulties, we called it a day. I went back to Meldrum around 1pm and two boats followed me in, both had...
