Love it.. well put. Sad to see common sense become not so common

Yes they did recover it. There was a boat that had crossed the bar before the tsunami came in that was able to toss a hook over and snag her before she got too far out. They held her until the guys from tidewinds were able to get on one of their others and bring it in. From what I've heard, the...

Get a heavier rod than you think you'll need, especially from the bank. There's few things worse than being undersized on an oversize fish. It taxes the fish, it taxes your gear, and it taxes you. I fish the Lami you were talking about with a Penn 320 from my boat. Haven't had any isssues yet...

Haven't been down there since sturgeon opened on the Willy. Hope your back gets better !

Haven't done a bit of good. Even as far as the Oxbow/dabney float.

I just double 2 up and wrap the crap out of them with spider wire or stretchy thread. Usually put a little bit of scent on them. Seems to work pretty good for me.

Thanks! Those are some big boys!

Holes can be 120+ depending on where you're at. They usually come up pretty quick so its not tough to anchor and then fish the deep spots. I carry 300 feet of primary anchor rope just to be safe. Just use your fish/depth finder and be smart with your anchor, the river moves deceptively fast in...

Yeah it looked pretty nasty still. I'm sure you could make it with a good 4x4. we just opted to go the rest of the way due to the nice (not raining) weather and that we thought that it would get better lower...

Well, the day was great but no fish in our boat. We floated to L&C rather than pull out at dabney and saw the only fish caught just below the stark street bridge. The water seemed clear when it was slow moving, but any time that it got into any current or any other kind of turbidity, it was...

I'm gonna be out in my driftboat on Saturday. Doing Oxbow to Dabney with some friends of mine. If you see me, come say hi! I'm in a black Koffler high side. I'll give you all a report when I get off the water, until then- Good luck !

I bought a cheap okuma setup last summer. 50 bucks for a rod and a reel. I keep in in my truck to hit holes on the way home. Cheap so I dont have to worry about it, but it still gets the job done.

Thanks for the update. Be interested to see where they start showing up now that the flood is over!!!

Was down at Oxbow this AM with no luck. On the water about 6:45 and fished till about noon. River flow looked good and fish-able, had a little bit of color to it but wasn't too bad. Fished from above the boat ramp down to the Y camp and didn't see anyone out there hooking up. . . Anyone have...

Was out at Cedar Creek. Nothing. River looked good but not a thing.
