That was the only & 1st "tap tap" ever for me... Adam, you know way more about them than me...

Hey Naoaki,

I haven't done enough research yet (tides, currents, best times, tackle, etc..) but when I do there are a ton of different fish to choose from around here.  Sturgeon (White and Green but Green are closed), Salmon (spring and fall runs of Chinook and a fall run of Coho), Steelhead (both summer and winter runs), Walleye, and Smallmouth Bass).  My biggest problem right now is finding someone else to go out fishing with me.   I realize you're all manly with your recent solo sturgeon success, but I have WAF to deal with up here.

WOW!!! Nice dino.

Wow-wow-weeee!!!  Congrats Naoaki!

I just discovered this post.  I passed it over because, from the title "late b-day gift", I was expecting chat about a new rod or reel.

Losing your kayak sturgeon virginity is a priceless gift.

  Happy Birthday to You... Happy Birthday to You.... Happy Birthday dear Naoaki.... Happy Birthday to You!

That's like the AOTY river...   how about SW?

Yeah, you don't wanna Amy call the coast guard again... that would put you 2x negative again...

For the record Amy has never actually called the Coast Guard.. though she does threaten.

As far as I can tell, Oregon salt water can be pretty good, but the ocean conditions make the Sonoma Coast look like a calm lake.  Ask me again at the end of the year when I have some of this figured out.

Way to go Naoaki!  I'm just trying to figure out if you really do work
