Last night from my window I saw a boat anchored in the willamette at 11:30pm
with a police boat next to it. Pitch
black out there flashing lights everywhere,
search lights, flash lights, who knos what
else. The night before I saw a boat out there
tell midnight and throught that was strange.
This might have been the same boat.
There is a lot of sturgeon fishing out front
here on the willamette. Can you fish at night
for them? Do you think this bust is for night fishing?

hookem...I saw an enforcement officer scoping the area near the old West Linn bridge about last Tuesday or so from the road near Sportcraft Marina. Don't know what he was looking at specifically...but I thought his eye was gonna come through the other side of the scope. He was really looking. What area of the river are you near?? Could be they were busted for nite fishing, or even NOT having proper lighting for anchoring after dark. Hard to say.

I'm across for the West Linn cider iland boat launch. On the Oak Grove side.
I think it was a bust because they were
at it for over an hour before I went to bed!
Lot of people sturgeon fish right up to dark
and beyond, but never till midnght!
I don't think it was a boat with moter problems or anything like that because of how long fooled around out there.
