Mult. channel sturgeon

FROGGY · 02-03-2003, 10:57 AM

I want to try sturgeon fishing, but I only have a 14' boat w/ 11hp motor. So I figure the channel is the safest place for me. I dont need to know your exact spots, but what depth are you looking for out there? Any hints would help since Ive never done this before. Thanks :smile:

Thanks for the tip UG. Looking forward to catching my first. I have a feeling I am going to be hooked on sturg. fishing.

Froggy, as you have seen on many posts, PFD are even more important with all the debris in the water. Also I have seen several small boats about eat it because of too short of anchor rope. Good luck

I also have a 14" semi-v bottom aluminum I use 300" of anchor rope a 15# anchor and I fish the Coulmbia the channel and the Willamette just watch out for debri and you should be able to fish anywhere

Look for deep spots on outside corners. 40-60+, There is a great spot called the "barn hole" on the outside of the first corner below the gilbert river boat ramp on the island. Not hard to find and good for a small boat. Water is 60-70 feet depending on the tide. Probably will be other boats there.
