Another nwka.com noob

I have a yellow Hobie Marage Sport came with: marage drive, delux seat, two piece paddle, rudder and hobie wheel cart.
Owned it for nearly six months and have added the following:
1 Scotty rod holder, 1 rod leash, 1 paddle leash, 1.5lbs claw anchor, 3lbs claw anchor, 2.2lbs shovel anchor and most recently an anchor trolley.
I have also obtained a Stohlquist Drifter PFD, chest mounted Deep Sea Squees "blunt tipped" dive knife, a Gopro 960p and a Gopro HD with led display.

Near future addition will be a hummingbird 385ci kayak combo fish finder/Gps

My most recent adventures include The Mighty Fraser river sturgeon and Pitt lake dolly varden fishing,


Since the purchase of a kayak my fishing success has tripled and then some.
Mainly targeting spring cutthroat and rainbow trout, in the process of perfecting salmon and sturgeon methods.

In conclusion I hope to have some pictures available in future posts.

I am looking forward to any advice or questions.

Welcome. Got pics of your yak?

Sturgeon fishing on the Fraser river

Pre trip load up

Not to many pics with fish in the yak as I just got cameras

Great pics!  I'd love to see you post one of those Fraser River monsters!

I have many from shore and a 7'6 from a boat but none in the yak

Welcome! 

Welcome to the site.  I am currently trying to land my first sturgeon from a yak as well. Good luck and keep us posted.

Where are you fishing? What are you using hook, line, rod ect

I'm using 100lbs braided "tough line", #6 gamigatsu octopus hook, penn 330gt2 reel, 8' shimano technium rod west coast edition, 12 - 16 oz pyramid weights with a line slide method.

I'm fishing the Snake R below Lower Granite Dam in SE WA and I am using basically the same setup as you are.  This isn't the ideal time of year to be fishing them around here, but it's not going to stop me from trying.  I only recently got my anchor setup installed on the yak so I missed out on the spring sturgeon fishing, which is supposed to be the best time around here.

What kind of anchor setup are you using
