sunday sturgeon (pics)

The Bad Fish · 12-07-2003, 03:07 PM

fished with bluetick today. i showed him a thing or two about crabbing last sunday,so he showed me a thing or two about sturgeon today.

then it was my turn..

"hey these things are kinda sharp and pokey". this was actually 42 inches. we had a great time. i talked to waterdog on the radio. and met another ifisher. the biggest thing i learned is, that if you squish the smelt and slather it up with some smelly goo you will catch something.. i think i found a new winter hobby. here is where we caught them.

:grin: only the houses were covered up to protect the innocent.

Hey Bug Flicker
I'm really impressed you cropped the pictures no one should figure it out except maybe HOOKUM HI.
Really glad we hooked up today,"if you know what I mean". Glad I was able to teach you something. I think I should market that smelly goo, maybe we could call it carrot gooey cake or how about Jeff's secret gator goo.

It seems to be working much better since I added the thickener to it, lasts longer in the water.
I think I may have to get into that carrot I mean gator tournament on the 10th, could be alot of fun. I could invite CHAIN LINK and HOOKKUM HI of coarse I'd have to do more scouting, sounds like the team you'll be in already has it in the bag, I know you mentioned Sturgeon Tom and some others.With ny secret sauce I think I may stand a chance.

I lost count after 30 gators today in a few short hours. What do you think, should we make a commitment to this tournament????

i think you will come in a close second to sturgeon toms team.. he is the shao-lin master of the sturgeon. and that uglygreen guy could catch fish in a bathtub. (pretty fishy dude).. call me about tommorow night, keith

With my keen eyesight and intuition I was able to determine the exact location you were at... [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img]

Bluetick · 12-07-2003, 05:55 PM

Naked volleyball??? Too shallow their, we were in 23' of water not 4' Besides Julie and Joni might think we don't need to fish. I've never been their how about you BUG FLICKER. Is their a nude beach on the Columbia??? :grin:

Hey Bug Flicker - thanks for the compliment, but you remember last year?

I had the biggist skunk going - not even a shaker bite all day - even on the infamous pink squid! I'm just hoping not to drag Sturgon Tom and No Wishing Just Fishin (Last years winner) down to the bottom with me.

We shall see - [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img]

The Bad Fish · 12-07-2003, 07:29 PM

most of the people playing volleyball there should be wearing clothes

.. you stick with me jeff we can have alot of fun

uglygreen. no worries brad. you and chuckles put the hurt on me more than once this year in the salt.. i just learned today how to fish for the sturgies..

Bluetick · 12-07-2003, 07:44 PM

Hey Keith I think I'm gonna ask Julie and Joni to be on my team. This green of team we can't help but win or place high. We could call it the GREEN CARROT team. If your gonna be on the best team I might as well have the best looking. We'll probably out fish you guys. I'll bring it up with the ladys at tomorrow night's x mas party. Maybe we can follow you guys around, or well go to my secret spot and use the famous secret scent.

Nice fish fellows. That is a pretty good spot on the Sauvie Island side just down from Kelley Point. I fish that area often myself

Sounds like things picked up for ya, Bug-flicker. :grin: We lost count too. Just too much action to keep track.

I fished both Saturday and Sunday, no keepers but many in the 24" to 38" inch range. Saturday, I fished with fortywinks and squid was the bait of choice. Sunday, I took my 15 year old daughter and smelt with sturgeon feast was the better bait this day. Only a couple boats out on Saturday and maybe a dozen on Sunday. Thanks to all those that stayed home. :smile:

I think I may have found my crew for the challenge. Daughter doesn't get to fish much but with a little coaching she turned out to be a fish catching machine. :grin: Even though the weather wasn't great and her feet and hands were cold, she said she had a blast and is ready to go again.

Good job Jeff. Much better than we did last weekend, I see you got for the crabs too

Remember when I said the next time we get together, well you found the spot already. BTW, you also went past many other great spots on your way to this one :grin:
