So I went out and bought a pack of squid for sturgeon, however, I do not think it is going to be open another weekend. Has anyone ever used squid behind a dodger for springers (lower Willamette)? Seems like if they will hit a herring, they may fall for a squid. Just curious and thought I'd ask before I throw them out.......
I know you can catch salmon mooching whole squid in the ocean, not sure about in the river though. You could always save it for crab or rockfish bait, no reason to waste it.
Funny thing, I gave it a try years and years ago while fishing for springers and hooked into a nice sturgeon. Who would of known...my first ever sturgeon by the way!
I've heard the same from some credible fishermen.... have tried it only briefly but it is worth giving a try. They caught more than one big fall chinook. C.W.
I know they eat squid so last year I tried it for a couple of passes. No love, but then again, I have trolled days with herring and never had a hit either. Ya never know what the next killer bait might be for salmon.
Thanks for all the replies! I just figure they will hit herring, prawns, sandshrimp and lord knows what else while up river..... might have to play with em just a lil for the fun of it! Sometimes a lil different is all it takes!:wink:

One of the biggest steelhead I ever saw caught was hooked in the willamette on a squid wrapped K15 Kwikfish.
