Sturgeon fishing june 13th on the Columbia
by Marvin on Jun.14, 2009, under Columbia River, Fishing Guide, Sturgeon
Today we were fishing on the Columbia river below Bonneville dam. I met my clients at 6:15 am.
I decided not too fish for shad today because shad fishing has been kinda slow and I had enough from the night before.
I headed down the Columbia river. I anchored my boat in what is called the flats.
It turned out that not fishing for shad was a good idea. I got all four lines in the water and I looked over at one of the rods and it was going crazy.
I set the hook and handed the pole off. Turns out this sturgeon was 49 inches, Which is a keeper. Before I could get the pole baited up again I heard line ripping off one of the other poles.
I set the hook and the fight was on.Turns out this Sturgeon was about 7 and a half foot.
It was not a bad morning for the first hour or 2. We fished till around 1 oclock and all we ended up with shakers. Although we lost a keeper right up too the boat.
Turned out to be a great day on the Columbia river. I hope to see this family on the Columbia river again..
Until next time tight lines.
Thanks for coming by... If there's something you'd like to see me write about, or you have a question about this article, please leave a comment below, and I'll see if I can get to it soon.

Wow ! What a day a fishing this was. My dad, brother and his 8 year old son, myself and my 8 year old son went sturgeon fishing with Marvin. We hooked into a nice keeper right off the bat which dad landed. 2 minutes later my brother hooked into a oversize and fought him for about 20 minutes. Myself had a few keepers on but lost one at the boat and another out a ways. The two boys each caught 2 smaller ones and released them back to get bigger for next time. We had a great time with Marvin and look forward to our next adventure with him..
