As an avid fisherman all of my life, I realized in 2013 that this was my calling. I got to work logging official sea time to become eligible for an MMC. In 2017 I began working with other charters professionally, and in 2019 finally obtained my credentials. I have been specifically targeting Sturgeon for over a decade and have had great success!

    Absolutely FANTASTIC!

    6 Hour Trip – PM Sturgeon • 3 adults • 1 child

    Truly an unbelievable experience! Captain Rick went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip! He even scouted for 3 hours before we arrived to make sure we were getting on the prime spot for that night! We got set up and were having a blast before the fish even showed up! Captain Rick made all the right adjustments and the fish didn’t disappoint! We caught an 80 pounder then a 90 pounder with multiple other species in between! All in all I will say that Captain Ricks hospitality and willingness to share his knowledge was enough to make it a great trip! The fish were just an excellent bonus! Thank you captain!

    Bucket List Fish

    6 Hour Trip – PM Sturgeon • 2 adults

    I could not recommend a Lake Sturgeon fishing charter with Rocket’s Fishing Adventures more! First, Captain Rick worked hard to get us on fish. He arrived early and scanned the river for fish so that our charter time was spent fishing and not looking for fish. He was constantly changing baits and making sure they were fresh. Second, he is passionate about sturgeon and makes the trip fun! He was as excited as we were when we caught fish! The boat was comfortable and all of the fishing gear was top notch.

    Reported catch:
    Sturgeon
    Catfish

    It was a pleasure having you and Grant out last night! What an awesome time! Thank you for coming out!

    The best fishing charter I have.

    5 Hour Trip - AM Sturgeon • 1 adult

    Richard is an experienced and knowledgeable professional captain. During our trip we discussed various topics, from sturgeon habits to various sturgeon species, and he was knowledgeable about them all. Captain Richard tailor-made this trip for me, allowing me to enjoy an exciting experience of fighting sturgeons and truly feel the process of fighting with fish. I highly recommend the sturgeon fishing trip organized by Captain Richard. His professionalism and attentiveness made the experience particularly memorable.

    Ming, your words are very kind! I had an excellent experience sharing my time with you!

    Fantastic Trip!!!!

    6 Hour Trip – Multispecies Casting • 3 adults

    Could not have picked a better charter to be on. Rick was awesome from start to finish! This trip was for my husband (who is an avid fisherman) as a birthday gift and Rick was so great answering all of his questions and also connecting with us. He made the trip so enjoyable and that was even before we caught some fish. We landed a sturgeon which was on my husbands bucket list of fish and Rick was just as excited as my husband was! He’s passionate about what he does and it shows. Book with Rocket’s Fishing Adventures and Captain Rick!!!

    Awesome sturgeon trip

    6 Hour Trip – Multispecies Trolling • 3 adults • 1 child

    Capt Rick with Rocket fishing adventures was awesome. I took my son and grandson on a 6hr trip and every minute was full of fishing, laughter and smiles. We boated a 54”, 47”, 38”,37” and two small sturgeon. One fresh water drum and two monster cats. Captain Rick’s passion for fishing and providing an excellent charter was obvious and shows in these photos. We are already planning another trip with him. Great day Captain Rick and we thank you very much.

Last nights trip we had two sturgeon over the 70” mark make their way onboard The Sturgeon General. The first one went 74”x32” shortly followed by a 71.5”x30” fish. The season is rolling into prime territory now! As the weather cools off, more fish will be making their way into the river system and the bugs will continue to mellow. Looking forward to September and October on the river!
