Hello all,

im from oregon but stationed up here in the navy. im looking for somewhere to bank fish for sturgeon and have no idea where to look pretty familiar with the area just looking for a little direction. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey J,
Welcome aboard and thank-you for your service to our great nation.

There is a little known bank fishery for sturgeon in several locations around the Snohomish and Stillaguamish sloughs. Look for locations around Ebey Slough near it's confluence with Steamboat Slough, you can access this area off of Sunnyside Blvd south and east of Marysville. It's a hike but there are some shovelnose hanging around there.

In addition, above the Hwy 99 Bridge over Steamboat Slough can be worth an hour or two as can Priest Point and Kayak Point on the salt water side.

Keep in mind that the last two hours of the ebb tide is key in all these areas
Don't forget to check your Regulation Pamphlet for legal areas, seasons and catch limits

Ok, there you go Brother,,, if you catch one, you owe me a report on our Fishing Reports Forum

Absolutely thank you very much. We slay them in Oregon just needed a new spot since I'm stationed up here and don't have a boat. I will check all these places out.
