Salmon: Salmon come up river to spawn after they spawn they die. So if you want to catch the big ones you need to place yourself between the fish and their spawning grounds. Salmon like deep water so if you have a boat go to a drop off with good current and your odds of catching a salmon will be better. Sturgeon: By Law you can only keep sturgeon between 4-5ft. in legth. To make it harder they also make it mandatory to file the barbs off your hooks. Also you may not fish after dark for them as that is when they come out to feed. To Catch a sturgeon find a very deep hole in a river cast out and wait. Good bait consists of a pickle and rotten meat. use atleast 30 lb. test because these fish are heavy. Some get up over 400-500 lbs. Now you may ask isn't that test too weak. No, you are measuring the amount of force the fish makes when he pulls away from your fishing pole. Also hold on tight your in for one hell of a fight. Free search engine submission and placement services! |
