It’s nice to have good news in my first sturgeon fishing report of the year! I went out to scout some of my favorite spots near Astoria for sturgeon today and got into them! Four of these dinosaurs decided to play in about an hour’s worth of time. Each one tried to circle the boat, wrap around the anchor line and flirt with getting the line in the motor. The fish in the picture even dove under the boat and jumped out of the water on the other side. The fight was epic and every last one of them got to go free with their sand shrimp treats!
I have a client coming in on Thursday from Texas and he wants to “catch big fish”. My goal is to get him on a Texas sized sturgeon. Every fish I hooked today was over 4 feet long. I think the odds of a 6′ or greater fish are pretty good!
Get a hold of me if you want to check this one off your bucket list!
