spent some time in portland oregon. on 7/11 i went sturgeon fishing with a local guide, Duane Huber of River Run Guide Service, http://www.usa10.com/riverrun/ . i shared the boat with a couple from CA. we had a great trip. i wanted to catch oversized fish, bigger than 6'. so we used 2 - 3 lb shad for bait. the rods were heavy saltwater rigs with 80lb braid and 1 lb sinkers with 6/0 hooks. the boat was very nice to fish from also. duane was a great captain and put us on some nice fish. i caught 4 2 babies and 2 big ones. the big ones were about 7 1/2 feet, 180lbs. all together we caught 4 big ones and 5 babies
how do i add pics?
these fish fight so hard, you almost don't want to catch another one, but i managed ;) if the drag is too tight i know these fish would break the rod or pull you in. i managed to land the fish in about 20 minutes, but is was like doing arm curls with 60lb weight for 20 minutes straight. i recommend anyone going to the area to try it, you won't be disappointed.
