We fish the lower John Day River, in the thick of it all. We launch our boat 4 miles east of Rufus Oregon. Don’t worry about the cold, Marvin’s Guide Service has a covered and heated boat for your comfort – and you’ll want the heat this time of year.

We fish a few different ways around the John Day. One way is to troll Wiggle Warts. I like to use bright colors when tolling warts. Another great way to fish Steelhead on the John Day is with a bobber and eggs, or even sand shrimp.

Here is a Little information about the river. The John Day River is a tributary of the Columbia River. It is approximately 281 miles long, making it the third longest free-flowing river in the contiguous United States. There is extensive use of its waters for irrigation. John Day’s free-flowing course furnishes habitat for diverse species, including wild steelhead runs.

Besides Great fishing, you’ll have beautiful scenery to look at all day long.
Steelhead fishing on the lower John Day River goes into the end of November.

We set the date to hook up on September 29th. We meet up at The Fishery on the Columbia River at 6am, well before sunrise this time of year. After we talked for a bit, we headed down to the river. Man, let me tell you, we were really up for a challenge. The east wind was blowing around 30 mph making conditions tough – and most resident fishermen can tell you, east wind usually turns the bite off.

I had Bethy Rossos in my boat, a producer and one camera man. My friend Mark, who is also a guide, was helping out in his boat with the rest of the camera crew. His job was to follow us around and try to get the best shots for the camera guys. I take my hat off to Mark, he did a great job keeping his boat on the spot, especially with that wind. Thanks, Mark.

We got our first line out in the water, and, as I was getting the 2nd rod ready, BAM! The first rod is going off and we get a fish on! That line was not in the water two minutes! I know I should almost be used to it, that first-line-bite has been good to me this year. You will have to watch the show to see how big the Sturgeon was, but if you’ve been out with me recently, I’d bet you could make a good guess.

The day ended up with four big Sturgeon, so it was a great day of Sturgeon fishing, even with the east wind blowing very hard. I will tell you this, Bethy Rossos is one tough woman, and I was lucky to get to meet a person like her. I look forward to fishing with her again.

Be sure to watch the show to see all the great action, I will come back to this post and update when I know the date it will air

I want to give a big thank you to Comcast Sportsnet and Bethy Rossos for using Marvin’s Guide Service for “Adrenaline Hunter.”

Also, because of the saltwater in estuary, Tillamook Bay holds some of Oregon’s best Crab fishing around. Can’t get much better then that, Pots full of Crab, and King Salmon on the line.

October is generally regarded to be the time to spend in Tillamook Bay for King Salmon fishing. Reports are coming in a little bit early this year with great Salmon fishing in the bay, and pots full of crab. Fishing and crabbing in Tillamook is just going to be better in October.

When you go fishing in Tillamook Bay with Marvin’s Guide Service we will drop up to four crab pots into the bay. Through the day, between fishing areas, we’ll stop in and check the traps, sort crab and re-bait as necessary. At the end of the day, Marvin’s Guide Service will cook and clean the crab for you, along with the King Salmon you may catch! Call us today and get hooked up in Tillamook Bay with some Salmon and crab fishing.

I’m going to talk a little bit about how and where I like to fish when working Buoy 10 around Astoria, Oregon.. Note, this is a big river with lot’s of good places to fish for Salmon, so these places are not all inclusive.

Early in the season I like to Salmon fish at Buoy 10 on a incoming tide. I will start my troll at the buoy and start trolling up river with the tide I go around 2 miles then head back to buoy 10 and start fishing again.

One of my favorite spots have to be the sawdust pile, witch is located up river from the Hammond boat launch on the Oregon side a few miles, I like to fish out by the green buoy, again I troll with the tide.

I will rig up 2 fishing rods with a delta diver and then pull a fish flash, and a herring, then I will rig up 2 fishing rods with a lead as my dropper then use a fish flash and a spinner, size of lead depends on tide, anywhere from 12 to 20 oz is what I like.

Up To Date Salmon Season is a post from the best Oregon fishing guide blog we could find, where Marvin writes about Salmon, sturgeon, and Walleye...

Willamette River in the Oregon city area has been great for Chinook Salmon fishing, just prepare for big crowds here.

Willamette River Sturgeon fishing has been hot hot in the harbor. Remember the Willamette River is catch and release for Sturgeon. Squid has been the hot bait for Sturgeon fishing on the Willamette.

Yesterday 5-24-11 we did a catch and release Sturgeon fishing trip on the Willamette river and we ended up with 10 Sturgeon between 40 and 55 inches, and 2 Sturgeon over 6 foot long, Great day of fishing.

Columbia River is very high, but you still can find some good Salmon fishing out there around the Troutdale area was producing some Chinook Salmon yesterday.

Shad are starting to show up,I have been hearing some reports of shad caught in the gorge at the shad rack.
Use extreme caution if you anchor up at the Shad rack, as the Columbia River is flowing very hard and fast.

Fresh Shad is a good bet for Sturgeon bait.

Marvin’s Fishing Report is a post from the best Oregon fishing guide blog we could find, where Marvin writes about Salmon, sturgeon, and Walleye...

First, I pull to the side, out of the way, of everybody. Immediately I put the drain plug in the boat; this probably is the most important thing you will do, and too many boats are lost every year because of this little task. Then, take the back tie straps off if you use them. Load anything from the truck to the boat. Please, please don’t back half-way down the boat ramp then decide it is time to get the boat ready. All this does is make everybody mad. Have the boat ready before you back down.

If it is dark out, and if you can, please turn your headlights off, parking lights will work just fine. When you’re at the bottom of the ramp, headlights aim right up and the next guy to come down, blinding him. It really sets people off when they can’t see. It is also a good idea to make sure your door is shut when you get out to grab the boat; an open door can block the other launch lanes. Tie the boat to the dock and get your trucked parked as soon as you can, please don’t stop and say hi to your buddies until your truck is off the ramp. Remember the next guy is just as excited to go Salmon, or Sturgeon fishing as you.

Hope everybody has a safe boating season, and hope you all catch lots of fish.
