Thanks for letting me know. If you see him, please tell him I said hello. He was a good dude.

Is that the Jason that works at Cabela's in Eugene? I apologize if I am incorrect... But if it is, hit me back, Jason. This is Erich, that super tall guy that you used to work with in the fishing department a couple years ago. It would be awesome to wet a line with you bud. I live in Vancouver WA.

Hey thanks. A good reg reminder is always appreciated :thumb:

My plan is to start researching where and when the fish show up and start exploring. I have a reliable rig, good gear. and I know how to catch fish. I just don't know where and when yet. This gorge and it's tribs seem a bit daunting at the moment. I'm used to a short drive where I could...

Hi OFFers! I recently moved to Vancouver WA from Eugene, OR and am finally settled and am itching to go fishing! I haven't been in months... I realize that this whole Columbia gorge thing is a daunting scape that I'm not sure I want to conquer alone. I've have good success with finding fishing...

Fair enough, if they cannot reproduce anymore than I apologize. I did some research on the internet and found a lot info that would suggest otherwise, though. As far as shaming him, if they do reproduce at that size/age, I stand by what I said. Just because it's legal doesn't exclude it from shame.

Is it strange that I hate seeing huge fish like this being harvested? I don't have much halibut experience but I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that huge halibut are lousy to eat and are generally female a.k.a the ones that ought to be let go so that they can breed. I'm gonna do some...

Awwwwe Brookings is where I am originally from. Gawd I miss the hay-day of salmon fishing down there. That Chetco puts out some HAWGS!

Oh those will definitely work well for ling cod. I have fished the OR coast for decades and if it's one thing I have learned about lings, it's that they really aren't picky about what they will eat. That being said, if I had a choice as to what size and color of gear to toss at em, it would be...

Thanks for the pointer guys! I am a recent transplant from Eugene to Portland and am trying to figure out the new fishing game up here. I was at Riverside park today as well as the mouth of Eagle Creek tossing a #4 blue and silver Blue Fox. No sign of a fish anywhere but it was fun exploring :thumb:

Great looking fish! What did it bite on?

Nice!! What did you catch it on?

Awesome video!!! Can you speak on your experience using lingcod as crab bait? Had good luck? Growing up in southern OR I was always told that ling carcasses didn't make very good crab bait because the crabs have naturally evolved to be scared of lingcod scent. Sounds a bit "mythy" to me but none...

Is that an OFF sticker on the back of that truck!? Where in the heck do I get one of those?! :yikes:
