Sturgeon Recon 12/21

Dipnet · 12-21-2003, 08:37 PM

Did a little recon for ****** Division of "Team Get Bent" today on the Columbia. Had a great day(all I wanted for my birthday was to fish!). Ended the day with 55 . Two definite keepers and 4 others that were in the measurable category. 27 caught on smelt and 28 caught on one squid that I used for the whole day. The river was like a lake, no wind and not all that cold. And the sturgeon were going nuts jumping everywhere :shocked:

Nice talking to Fortywinks and Sharkbait out on the river and to H20Dog at Freds. And Roger, I may have to bake you up a special batch of cookies [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img] for that comment!!!

Dipnet :grin:

It was nice meeting you yesterday and you definitely had a good spot there. Although it was a little depressing in that every time we turned around you were setting the hook on another one.

All in all a beatiful day to be on the river.

Helo Dipnet
I went sqid jigging the other night and froze some.When you use sqid do you run the leader through the body and half hitch the head?thanks for any advice.

Dipnet · 12-22-2003, 09:13 AM

Hog One, I either do it like you said, or if I'm really lazy I just thread it on the hook. If you run the hook through that tough part of the head, it stays on pretty darn good.
