Day of Sturgeon Fishing on the River

Day of sturgeon fishing on the river.

Today was a family day on the river. The kids and I launched the boat at 33rd and marine drive at about 8am. Kids wanted a day of sturgeon fishing on the river.

I decided to take the kids for a day of catch and release sturgeon fishing.

So, we headed down river and started fishing at Kelly point park. We caught a few small sturgeon, Not much going on.

So, I headed up the Willamette River and started fishing righted under the steel bridge.

We had pretty good success here immediately catching a 45-inch sturgeon.

My kids did not understand why we had to let it go. But then again it was a catch and release day.

We caught 8 or 9 more fish all in the 35-inch range. Then we decided to go cruising for a couple hours and enjoy the weather on the river, then headed home for lunch.

I’m sure my kids had fun i look forward to shad season fishing with them!

I look forward to more fishing adventures. with my kids from catching salmon, sturgeon and walleye.
