Columbia river fishing report June 7 2009

Marvin — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 19:23:09 +0000

I have been fishing on the Columbia river for Sturgeon and shad.
Shad fishing has been OK the last few days not great just ok.

I look forward to the shad fishing picking up next week I think if we can get some sunny days on the river that will help.

Now for the Sturgeon fishing it has been pretty good I have been fishing in the Troutdale area, I have been getting small fish and a few big fish and some keeper fish.

The water has been fast so be careful out there.

Don’t forget salmon is going to open June 22. I hope that what the say any way.

Washington Couple Score Big on the Columbia River

Marvin — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 01:26:55 +0000

Friday morning on the Columbia river, in the Columbia gorge I had 3 clients.There names were Dwane, his wife Debie and jim from Troutdale.

Dwane and Debie came all the way from the Tri-Cities. They have fished with me before in Tillamook bay and have had success.

I met the 3 of them at 6:30 am at the fishery on the Columbia River. We started the day out fishing for shad. Shad fishing was spotty but we managed to get 6 or 7 shad. All of them were pretty small which is perfect for Sturgeon bait.

The first spot I anchored we had no success.I moved 2 or 3 times and we started to get a few bites.

The first fish we had on it was probably a keeper but we lost it..

When I threw Dwanes pole back out it wasn’t 5 minutes and he got another bite.This time we landed it. It was a nice fat 49 inch Sturgeon.

A couple hours went by and Debbies pole SLAMMED to the water!! Dwane grabbed it and set the hook. I knew instantley this was a big fish.

Dwane handed Debbie the pole and the fight was on. Let me tell ya this lady is tuff!! She faught this fish for about 30 minutes before she gave the pole to Dwane. I think she wore the fish out for Dwane!! LOL.

An hour and 15 minutes went buy and we had finally landed this fish. It was around 8 foot 3-400 pounds.

It turned out to be a great day on the river.

I want to give a special thanks to jim for all the pictures and video he took. Videos and post should be on website soon.

I look forward to fishing with these 3 again soon.

Columbia river fishing report for sturgeon

Marvin — Sun, 10 May 2009 00:04:28 +0000

The Sturgeon fishing is starting to heat up in the gorge on the Columbia river.
The water is warming up. There are even a few over size sturgeon being caught!
beware the Columbia river is fast.
start watching for shad. fresh shad should be a sure catch.
If you don’t have any shad then use smelt and sand shrimp.

Columbia River Shad Fishing

Justin — Thu, 07 May 2009 02:02:30 +0000

In may and june over a milion shad come up the Columbia river.These shad are fun to catch on light tackle, I like to call them pour man steelhead.

Pound for pound they are one of the best biting fish the Columbia river can offer.

Shad fishing is a great time for kids because there is alot of action, Although i dont care to eat shad, I like to fill me freezer with them for Sturgeon bait and Crab bait.

To fish for the shad you fish in about 10 – 15 feet of fast moving water.I like to use a little tiny spinner for these shad. It is amazing we can put a 5lb shad on hold to use for Sturegon bait.

I use a 10 odd hook right through the middle of the shads head when fishing for Surgeon.

So if you are looking for excitement on the Columbia river may and june is the time to do so.
