Hot Sturgeon Action!!

Today was a perfect day for a Columbia River sturgeon fishing trip. The weather cooperated with minimal winds and pretty smooth water. More importantly, the fishing continues to be absolutely on fire. Today featured lots of big fish with multiple sturgeon above 7 feet long. The gymnastics were particularly impressive with large fish jumping and splashing close to the boat. The action was fast with very few times that we were able to keep all of the rods in the water. Multiple doubles and a triple hookup made for a lot of tired arms and big smiles. I love having kids on the boat and today we even managed to get smiles out of a couple of teenagers. I can't wait until my next trip!

These guys wanted to cap off their weekend in Astoria with a fishing trip. With a rough ocean the sturgeon made for an awesome day on the water. We easily had more than 20 to the boat with the largest at 7 1/2 feet long. I was a little worried at the beginning of the day about a 10 year old bringing in a sturgeon all on his own, but my fears were all put aside. This kid is an absolute pro! Multiple doubles made for fast action but these two had some amazing teamwork. I can't wait to get them back out on the boat again!

Catch and release sturgeon is on fire in the Columbia Estuary with over a dozen oversize fish to the boat The average size was around 5 1/2 feet long with a couple over the 7 foot mark. We had consistent action all day until everyone's arms got tired!
