Fished the opener on Monday. We were all by ourselves. You won't believe what my partner landed! We were anchored above our favorite hole using K-14s with sardine scent. His rod buckled and the fight was on. 20 minutes later we finally got a look at it. It was a beautiful 73" sturgeon. What a stud fish! It was as bright and strong as any estuary fish I have taken. For those of you who have had the good fortune of landing an oversize sturgeon I am sure that you can appreciate the battle. Try it some time with a backbouncing steelhead rod and 14lb. mono in 5-8 feet of fast moving water with the occasional stump and brush pile in the way.
YAAAAAHOOOOOOO! Ran the river from Fuller bridge to Cosmopolis. No signs of any springer activity at all. Very disapointing!
