Above Bonneville Dam Sturgeon

Marvin — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 05:30:13 +0000

Sturgeon fishing above Bonneville Dam will open January 1, 2012. Sturgeon retention is allowed 7 day’s a week until the quota of Sturgeon are caught.
If you are looking to put some fresh Sturgeon in your freezer you want to go in January or early February. I don’t expect Sturgeon fishing above Bonneville Dam to stay open very long. Sturgeon must be between 38 and 54 inches to be able to keep them. You are allowed to keep one Sturgeon a day, but you may continue to catch and release after you have tagged your Sturgeon.

Marvin’s Guide service will be fishing from the Cascade Locks, Oregon area. Cascade Locks is about 7 miles east of the Bonneville Dam.

I know your thinking this is to cold to go fishing, but don’t worry, we have a covered and heated boat so you will be fishing in comfort.

Call Marvin’s Guide Service today and let’s get you hooked up on some great winter Sturgeon fishing in the Columbia River Gorge.

Oregon Salmon fishing Columbia River

Marvin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 02:30:55 +0000

Summer salmon on the Columbia River is now open. This just might be one of my favorite times of the year to fish. You can go out and do a half day of Salmon fishing and a half day of Sturgeon fishing.

I will be fishing the Columbia River Gorge for summer salmon. One place to fish for Summer Salmon is at the shad rack just up river from the fishery, I will anchor up there in about 15 feet of water, and put out spinners, I like to use a # 5 blade this time of year.

Columbia River is running fast right now, so be exta carefull when you anchor your boat, watch out for debris in the water that might hit your boat or get caught on your fishing lines.

You may keep 2 fin cliped salmon. I look forward to a great summer salmon season on the Columbia River.

See you all out there.
Marvin

Sturgeon Slap on the Columbia River

Columbia River Sturgeon fishing, 3 of us left the Chinook Landing which is in Troutdale, Oregon at 6:15 am.
I headed up the Columbia River. What a nice morning on the river, no wind. I reached the Roster Rock area, and dropped my anchor. I looked around and wow, I was the only boat on the Columbia River.

It was not very long and we had our first bite, just a little 30 inch Sturgeon. Really did not matter anyways,you can not keep Sturgeon on Monday’s. Only on Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays.

We caught 4 or 5 more small ones, then all the sudden we had a big Sturgeon on the line. We played this Sturgeon for about 25 minutes or so when we finally got it to the boat. it was about 6 feet long 150 pounds or so.The day went on we caught some more small Sturgeon and some that would of been keeper fish if it had been a open day to keep Sturgeon.

Now the Funny part, Alicia one of my guest in the boat had a nice Sturgeon on, we get it to the boat and I would say this Sturgeon is about 48 inch Sturgeon, nice fish! So I reach down in the water grab the fish by the tail and take the hook out of the mouth, Alicia reaches over to hold the Sturgeon so she can have a picture of it before we let it go, just as she reached for it the fish kicked its tail slapping me in the face! I dropped the fish, it fell in the water. no picture for ALicia, but let me tell you I had a sore nose, that fish slaped me so hard. Guess it safe to say the Sturgeon won the battle that day!!
