Astoria Sturgeon

Beer Waggin · 05-30-2001, 09:27 AM

Has anyone been doing any good with the sturgeon fishing in Astoria? I'm headed over this weekend for a sturgeon derby sponsored by one of our suppliers and any help would be appreciated. Already have the Marie's, so now all I need to know is where the fish are at. I haven't heard to many great reports about Astoria yet, but I heard it was picking up a little bit.
Thanks for the help!

I got a report from my guide friend that he got a limit of 13 keepers by 9:30 a.m. yesterday - above the bridge on the Washington side. He's using fresh Herring for bait - driving up daily to Puget Sound area to buy them. All the fish are crammed full of Sardines. Ed @ Chinook Bait and Tackle has fresh anchovies but they were a bit small last weekend. Call the day before to reserve them 360-777-BAIT. I fished last weekend and it was really slow, but hopufully it's picking up. I'd definitely fish above the bridge from the reports I've heard.
