Sturgeon retention opening for 1 more day

If you can not get pyramid weights, another option is to hammer four or five nails into a standard shaped sinker.  When the current has been seriously scooting along I have found that this is the only way to get purchase while plunking.

Thanks guys!

I have a Trevala MH 6'6" rod and a Daiwa Lexa 300 with 50lb PowerPro. Will this be good enough? I also have a 25-40lb Gloomis 6'6" Boat rod and a Okuma Coldwater CW 153DLX reel with 50lb PowerPro.

Are you guys coming up for the Salmon SlayRide Derby? We can talk then.

Anybody have a house I could park my camper in front of for a night or two?  I'd really like to come over for this if there is going to be a bunch of you out there.

You are always welcome at my house. Although I live in Hillsboro, so it will be atleast a half hour drive to the launch

There's a good spot on my street also.  I'm in Tigard and about 10-15 min from GR park.

would anybody be up for some fishing on Sunday before I head back to Eastern Oregon?

I'd like to do some Bass or Walleye fishing if it's any good.

This is starting to sound pretty awesome.
Now I need to get an anchor system rigged to my new hobie ASAP.

Now for the news you have all been waiting for.  Next Adventure will be hosting a fundraiser for HOW on Saturday October 19th.  We are resurrecting Next Adventures first fishing tourney to bring you  "Willy Dino II, The Last Dino Hunt*."  Once the tourney page is up and running I will start a thread with more information and a link to sign up but for now I can promise it will be a day filled with burgers, beer, and big trophies.

Now I am coming over for sure.

Time to chisel away some freezer frost and find that piece of lucky bait.

Sweet! That's going on the calendar, no idea if I can fish it yet or not. Ling if you end up coming up here let me know.

I will most likely be present for this opener. I have the time off....it's just a matter of funds now.

Chris, let me know if you are going to make this, I can probably meet up with you. I't would be cool to buddy up with a familar face up there.

My light duty ends Oct 5th, so this one I should be able to make.

Pending weather/conditions I'd be up for hitting up some bass early on Sunday, home in time to watch football. I'm 2 minutes from a launch that's my "home water", but I haven't fished there in the fall much (yet). Keep in touch.

   I'm pretty sure I'll be back from the "slope" on the 11th of October. Just in time for this Dino Tourney.

   I have carved an attempt at a sturgeon I'll gladly donate for a prize. Need to do a little finish work on it 1st.

   Lori has never caught a sturgeon and it is high on her "bucket list". Bring it on.

That's the best news I've heard all day. Glad things are on the upswing!
