Trip Summary
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!
