While I was there. Cascade Marine showed me what was wrong with the boat. I saw how much water had accumulated in the gas tank. When the tech took off the screw on water fuel separator and dumped it into a clear container.

WOW it was mostly water.
When the tech took off the top of the carburetor and looked inside. Oh my a half inch of salt white power accumulation in the bottom and he showed me the plugged idle jets. No other shop has treated me this way.

I like this shop. They have gone and will go the extra mile as they know I am using the boat to make my living. And time off the water is bad. My boat was up and running in a hour or so..
Very happy with the service I got here.

Remember the fish and wildlife can change rules at any time, so before you go out check and see the current rules for the area you will be fishing.

Here is what I found out

Below the Wauna Powerlines at River Mile 40 to Buoy 10 witch is at the mouth of the Columbia, including Young’s Bay and Washington tributaries, fishing will open seven days a week for sturgeon.

Sturgeon have to be between 38 inch and 54 inch. That is fork in tail to tip of nose.

Above Wauna to Bonneville Dam, and the Willamette River up to Willamette Falls, including Multnomah Channel, Sturgeon fishing is open Thursdays, threw Saturday, with the size limit also between 38 and 54 inch.

The Columbia River above Bonneville will also opens Jan. 1 for sturgeon fishing seven days a week with a 38- to 54-inch slot limit in the Bonneville Pool, and a 43- to 54-inch slot limit in the John Day Pool.

I expect Sturgeon fishing to be great at the first of year.

Sturgeon fishing on the Willamette River is starting to pick up. As the weather gets colder on the Columbia River, the fishing on the Willamette River should pick up.

Don’t be afraid to move around a bit to find the Sturgeon.

The best bate has been squid at least for me.

Course of the Columbia RiverThe Columbia enters eastern Washington flowing south and turning to the west at the Spokane River confluence. It marks the southern and eastern borders of the Colville Indian Reservation and the western border of the Spokane Indian Reservation. The river turns south after the Okanogan River confluence, then southeasterly near the confluence with the Wenatchee River in central Washington. This C-shaped segment of the river is also known as the “Big Bend”. During the Missoula Floods 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, much of the floodwater took a more direct route south, forming the ancient river bed known as the Grand Coulee. After the floods, the river found its present course, and the Grand Coulee was left dry. The construction of the Grand Coulee Dam in the mid-20th century impounded the river, forming Lake Roosevelt, from which water was pumped into the dry coulee, forming the reservoir of Banks Lake.

The river flows past The Gorge Amphitheatre, a prominent concert venue in the Northwest, then through Priest Rapids Dam, and then through the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Entirely within the reservation is Hanford Reach, the only U.S. stretch of the river that is completely free-flowing, unimpeded by dams and not a tidal estuary. The Snake River and Yakima River join the Columbia in the Tri-Cities population center. The Columbia makes a sharp bend to the west at the Washington–Oregon border. The river defines that border for the final 309 miles (497 km) of its journey.

The Deschutes River joins the Columbia near The Dalles. Between The Dalles and Portland, the river cuts through the Cascade Mountains, forming the dramatic Columbia River Gorge. No other river completely breaches the Cascades—the other rivers that flow through the range also originate in or very near the mountains. The headwaters and upper courses of the Klamath River and Pit River flow through much of the Cascades; in contrast the Columbia cuts through the range nearly a thousand miles from its source in the Rocky Mountains. The gorge is known for its strong and steady winds, scenic beauty, and its role as an important transportation link.[13] The river continues west, bending sharply to the north-northwest near Portland and Vancouver, Washington, at the Willamette River confluence. Here the river slows considerably, dropping sediment that might otherwise form a river delta. Near Longview, Washington and the Cowlitz River confluence, the river turns west again. The Columbia empties into the Pacific Ocean just west of Astoria, Oregon, over the Columbia Bar, a shifting sandbar that makes the river’s mouth one of the most hazardous stretches of water to navigate in the world.

To stay on the right side of the law, you need to get yourself a license if you are 14 and over. The licenses are not that expensive , and they are available for three day or year long. This is for both in-state and out-of-state residents.

you can only keep the males. The females must be let go. You can determine a male from a female by checking their underside. Males have thin tail-like piece while the females have a round, wide piece. It’s pretty easy to tell them apart once you see them both.
The measurement of the crab will also determine a keeper. As long as the male crab measures five and three forths inches across the back of the shell, not including the points, consider him dinner!

Now, the adventure begins! Crabs are usually caught by using crab rings or crab pots. You can have up to three of these devices per person. Lower the baited (use chicken, fish, turkey, etc) rings or pots into the water, wait about 20 – 45 minutes, pull them up and see what you have. If you come up empty handed, move them to a different spot and try again. The ideal spots are ones with very little current. You can leave the crab pots in the water for a bit longer than the rings. The local bait shops in town will be able to hook you up with the gear you need. Once caught, they need to be cooked as soon as possible, preferably within the hour. The catch limit is 12 per day.

Come to Tillamook Bay in the fall and you can have a great day of salmon fishing and crab fishing.

Tillamook Bay September- 0-9 is a post from the best Oregon fishing guide blog we could find, where Marvin writes about Salmon, sturgeon, and Walleye...

The Columbia River is very low now so watch out. I am having trouble putting my boat in the water at the fishery, If you have a big boat you might think about putting in a Chinook landing in Troutdale and run up the Columbia River.

Sturgeon fishing is good, but catch and release only.

Tillamook Bay opened up on the first should be a great season down there.

Fish with Marvin’s fishing guide Service and we will not only fish for Chinook salmon, we will also have crab pots in the Bay.

Call Marvin’s Guide Service and lets talk fishing today.

Astoria Oregon salmon fishing August 12 to 16th 09 is a post from the best Oregon fishing guide blog we could find, where Marvin writes about Salmon, sturgeon, and Walleye...

Even when i saw the van come in to the parking lot I still could not believe channel 12 fox was going fishing with me.

Andy’s cameraman Mike and I talked for a few minutes about were we would fish and how things would work.

Now Andy and I are talking about fishing and stuff. Then be for I knew it Andy says are you ready we are going to be live in 2 minutes?

Next thing I know there I am with Andy and were live and he is telling the world he is with a professional fishing guide Marvin.

We did the first 6 or 7 live shots from the bank of the Columbia river because it was to dark to go out in the river.

Finley we get in the boat and now I am feeling good about the live shots.

Then it happened we are live and fishing then all the sudden we get a bite! I set the hook.
the Sturgeon was big I hand the pole to Andy he is trying to do the weather report and fight this 8 foot Sturgeon at the same time.

He gives me the pole back and I start to fight this sturgeon and we are still live on TV.
Andy is doing the weather and I see the Sturgeon is going to jump so I say watch Andy,
When this fish came out of the water, Andy could not believe it he was so happy.

Sorry to say the Sturgeon came off the hook.
We only got to fish in tell 9 am.

One thin I can say for sure that is a day fishing on the Columbia River I will never forget.

Some people say everybody has there time to shine in the spot light, Maybe just maybe that was my time.

I want to thank fox 12 and Andy Carson for everything.
