Title: Sturgeon guide
Post by: Winchester670 on April 24, 2012, 03:35:25 PM: Hello everyone me and my brothers have been planing for all of us to get together and do some sturgeon fishing and we are looking for a good guide to use so basically my question is does anyone have someone they would recommend? I have found a couple via google but would like some real feedback.

Thanks for the info

I have been lots of times and have always got fish. He is dialed in with this fishery, and he has been on TV as a pro guide a few times. Call him, trust me you won't regret it. Call Paul at 360-823-3525

Post by: kenzmad on April 24, 2012, 10:39:30 PM: no recommendationss on who to use but I would stay away from gimmieagocharters o..r whatever it is called. we had a horrible trip with john.s it wasn't the lack of fish(that's fishing) it was his attitude that was the issue. I leave a tip everywhere i go even if one is not deserved and he didn't get one. just saying

Post by: Bone_Collector on April 25, 2012, 08:19:06 AM: MtnMuley Just watch the river prediction flow they are fairly accurate! With all this warm weather we are having the rivers are brown now but they should be good come June when the Dino fishing is the best! Not to mention some killer bass fishing as well!

Post by: MtnMuley on April 30, 2012, 11:29:53 AM: That's true, but my weekends are limited to get over there. I agree with the smallie though......home of the true bronzeback. Blackest fish I've ever seen.
