I have heard the bite has slowed way down on the columbia because of colder water temps. I'm heading to Meldrum bar in Gladstone as soon as I can get outta the office today, I'll give a report tomorrow.

I'd hit the Willy, Mike. Temp is warmer, a lot (not all granted) of the fish move to the Willy outta the C this time of year. And the ones that dont, are a bit more lethargic from the cold(er) water.
Dont get me wrong, if I didn't have a choice, Id still fish either and be happy as all get out. And still expect to catch fish.:lol:

Cool thanks guys!
Yea, were trying to decide on where to go.. I'm new to sturgeon. I know the basics but I don't know areas that well.
What oz.'s of lead are you guys using on avg...?
We're getting squid and smelt, any other bait?

If my check comes tomorrow I would love to go Saturday. Have to wait and see. I know I'll have it next week. If it's cool with you maybe I could go along with you sometime in the future and learn the ropes of sturgeon fishing so I can teach my buddy how to do it. Next weekend I'll definitely have my money. :dance:

Hit the willi from the bank at Meldrum yesterday. The water was high and fast, didn't have enough weight to keep it on the bottom. I have to get my boat together! There must have been 100 people down there fishing for steelies!

I heard there was one pulled in early morning, not much of a success rate for so many poles. I also heard 5 were caught wed and ten on tues.

I don't know for sure how many rods but I will say it was a fricken wall of them! I can handle plunkin for sturgeon but I don't know how these guys sit there all day for steelhead. I'm workin on getting my boat ready, I need new seats and a prop, I've had the boat for 21 years now! We'll have to hit it when I get it goin, it's a 16' too.

Because I have my boat tore apart putting new seats and equipment in, I wont be able to go for about another week. But if it were me I think I would concentrate on the St. Johns area under the bridge. Waters high so use extra caution and take extra lead. 10 to 12 ounces maybe more depending on where your fishing. Let us all know how you do.
