Shad are starting to show up in the Columbia and Willamette River. Is summer here?

With Summer finally coming, there is plenty of fish to be caught on the Columbia River. Here are a few of my favorites:

Do you and a friend want to win a Sturgeon fishing trip? Just by “Liking” the Marvin’s Guide Service page, on facebook you can get that chance. Monster-sized, prehistoric Columbia River White Sturgeon can exceed 12′ long and over 1000lbs in weight. These big fish mean business and when you’re hooked into one, the fish will tell you where to go.

Columbia River opens back up for Spring Salmon fishing tomorrow April 8th, it will be open lintel April 15th.

With the Columbia River running fast, I would suggest anchoring instead of trolling.

Here is a look at the rules again.

How I store monofilament line

I store my line either still in the package spool or on the reel. Always in a cool dark dry place. I try to avoid storing my line were it can be exposed to the sun.

First of all I would like to tell everybody Happy New Year!

Fall is here and winter is just around the corner, what dose this mean? Winter Sturgeon fishing.

Marvin’s Guide Service has a covered and heated boat, so don’t let the weather scare you off.
We have some great Sturgeon fishing in the winter and lot’s of action, we also use light tackle to ad to the fishing excitement.

Columbia River Sturgeon fishing On June 6 2010.

On June 6th, I got to the boat ramp at 6 a.m. Man was it raining hard and I did not have my top on the boat.
Pat, Mike, Tom, and I left the dock and headed out on the river. I got the anchor set and threw the first line in the water. The Columbia River is high and fast, I was using 32 oz to stay on the bottom.

I got a phone call a few weeks ago from fox 12, asking if I wanted to go fishing again with Andy Carson and Donetta James from Oregon Beach Vacations! Of course I said yes.
