There were more good options than days this weekend with bottom fish and sturgeon. I'll just have to talk about boat upgrades and getting back to West Basin Marina later :)

Fishing in Astoria is in full swing and the opportunities this weekend seemed endless. I should be focusing on the Good Ju Ju’s debut run with clients, but that’s almost a footnote when I think about this weekend. Catch and Release Sturgeon is absolutely on fire.

Bobby got to reel a sturgeon in on today's trip! 23 to the boat and 3 lost. This was one of the smaller ones!

It's time to get more women involved in fishing! The Lipstick Salmon Slayers Tournament is a great opportunity to have a great time.

Get a group together, find a boat, and slay 'em! Women veterans should get a hold of The Fallen Outdoors for help with getting a boat booked. I'm holding the day open just for tournament participants so if you have a team and need a boat let me know!

Alright, Lipstick Salmon Slayers!

You've seen the updated shirts... but who's ready for a brand-new bag?!

We're working hard behind the scenes to make this year's tournament bigger and better than ever, and we couldn't wait any longer to give you a little sneak peek of what's coming.

What do you think? 👀🎣💄

More surprises are on the way!

Special thanks to Haxton's Canvas & Upholstery for sponsoring this years bag!

My guests take the best pictures!!! The sturgeon made for a great day with lots of jumps, oohs, ahhs, and several small enough to lift for photos! Thank you guys!

Had a great family on board for a short trip today. The sturgeon were in thick and we had two kiddos get their first ever fish. We had about 6 per hour to the boat. I think they'll be fishing for life!
