When the fish are in there will be 1,000,001 boats out there - pay attention and follow the pack - everything you mentioned in your post works. Or do it the easy way, hire a guide and tell them you want to troll 1/2 the day and anchor 1/2 the day - you will learn a lot! :idea:

The price of the guided trip will save you countless wasted hours on the water. Not to mention the wasted $$$(gas, bait, lunch ,adult beverage of choice). Take a notebook and write down everything and when your guide isn't busy ask questions. If you got the dough, book a trip BEFORE the season gets really goin so you can capitolize on what you learned. Learning the hard way is for the birds.:twocents:Good luck homes...RD

That's a good Idea, I'd be ok with that, are there any guides monitoring this thread, willing to go preseason, if it makes a difference we can take my boat! would like to target (salmon or sturgeon or steelie, or all), leads to another question, anybody had the trifecta?

I personally like the M2 flatfish on anchor! A lot of it depends on where you are anchoring. The closer to Bonneville you get the smaller the Lure! The K 15 kwikfish works really well from Gov Island downriver. But if you are fishing from the Mouth of the Sandy upstream, I personally like the M2 flatfish or K 14 kwikfish. :excited:

I would take you on a preseason trip if you are interested, Some where in the Begining of March, you would learn the basics and might even land a fish, cant really garantee the results, and would have a better idea as we get closer. I do know that if there are fish to be caught, we usually have a good chance.

hiring a guide is the best idea. Book one for the area you want to fish because every spot is different. when i started fishing i booked several trip with Ron Holt (Clanceys Guide service) and every time we went out for Salmon, Sturgeon & Steelhead it was always different. Different location different tactics and it pays off

Jump on that bro. Joe has a bunch of tricks up his sleeve. Make him teach you how to spin a herring then you can show me :wink: Seriously tho, don't know all the guides on ifish but have seen Joe ruin the lives of many of our finned friends. Good luck homes RD
