4 mile bay report! April 20-21st

[shefland]

Just returned from a day and half of sturgeon fishing on the bay and river, heres my report. Yesterday, Thursday, rain, mist, snow, wind, and about 40 degrees or so, extreme current, brown, full of debris, = poor fishing, saw a few hooked, none in our boat. Water temp 39.4 Today wind dropped, sunshine, little change otherwise, we used 5 to 7 oz of weight, everytime you checked bait you had a salad on it, keep a guy with a paddle on standbye for diverting logs on the ride downriver from torpedoing your boat, water temp 38.7. Now things will change, the bite will go! but right now I think it has to flush out a bit, just my opinion, good luck

Just wondering, I might be heading up again this weekend. Think things'll be cleared out a little more by then? I was up a couple days ago, water was really moving and the debris was pretty ridiculous.

Water is dropping now. I do believe it has peaked. There isn't much snow or ice to melt that flows into the river. I was told it dropped almost a foot from 2 days ago to last night, so I am assuming that its going to drop rapidly at the rate it is flowing.

Was out today and it has gone down a good foot or so. The debris is also clearing out. No ice floating at all now. The current is changing and it seems that the fish are constantly moving. We couldn't sit in one spot and catch fish, we had to move continuously to find active fish. Landed several small ones and 1 57". Lots of suckers right now too.
