Premium 8-Hour Sturgeon Excursion on the River

8-Hour Sturgeon Adventure on the Party Barge

Ready for a full day of fun on the water? Our 8-hour sturgeon excursion is perfect for groups looking to combine fishing, relaxation, and good times. Hop aboard our spacious party barge and get ready to chase some prehistoric river monsters while soaking up the sun with your crew.

Trip Overview

This ain't your average fishing trip, folks. We're talking about a full-on party barge experience with a side of sturgeon fishing. For 8 solid hours, you and up to 5 of your buddies will cruise the river in style, cold drinks in hand, as we search for some of the biggest, baddest fish swimming in these parts. Our seasoned captain knows all the sturgeon hotspots, and we've got the option to bring on a second captain as a deckhand if you want to pack in even more people for the ride. It's like a floating tailgate party, but instead of watching the game, you're in it - battling prehistoric beasts that'll make your arms ache and your stories legendary.

What to Expect on the Water

Sturgeon fishing is a whole different ballgame from your typical bass or trout outing. We're talking about fish that can grow bigger than you are - some pushing 300 pounds or more. Our party barge is decked out with heavy-duty gear to handle these river giants. We use specialized rods, reels spooled with braided line that could tow a car, and bait that'll tempt even the most stubborn sturgeon. The technique? It's a mix of patience and explosive action. We'll anchor up in prime spots, toss out our lines, and wait. When a sturgeon hits, hold on tight - it's like hooking a submarine! The fight can last anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour, and you'll feel every head shake and run. Don't worry if you're new to this - our crew will walk you through every step, from setting the hook to landing these prehistoric beasts alongside the boat for some epic photos before a careful release.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, there's fishing trips, and then there's this. Our sturgeon excursions are the stuff of legend around here. Where else can you and your crew spend a full day on the water, cold drinks in hand, music playing, and a chance to battle fish that've been swimming these waters since the time of the dinosaurs? It's not just about the fishing - though that's pretty darn epic. It's about the whole experience. The stories you'll tell for years to come. The bonds you'll forge fighting these river monsters together. And let's be real - those photos of you holding a fish bigger than your buddy? Priceless. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking for a unique way to spend a day on the water with friends, this trip delivers big time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Alright, let's talk sturgeon - the stars of our show. These living fossils have been cruising rivers for over 200 million years, and they look the part. With their armor-like scales, shark-like tails, and prehistoric appearance, hooking into one of these is like touching a piece of history.

White Sturgeon are the main event here. These beasts can grow over 20 feet long and weigh more than 1,500 pounds, though most of the ones we catch are in the 100-300 pound range - still more than enough to test your strength and your gear. They're bottom feeders, using their sensitive barbels to sniff out food in the murky depths. Sturgeon are slow-growing and can live for over 100 years, which means that big one you hook could be older than your grandparents!

The best time to target these river giants is usually spring through fall, when they're more active and feeding heavily. But here's the thing - sturgeon fishing is as much about the experience as it is about the catch. These fish are carefully protected, so it's all catch-and-release. But man, the thrill of battling one of these prehistoric monsters, seeing it surface next to the boat, and snapping a quick photo before watching it swim away? That's a memory that'll stick with you long after the sore arms fade.

Time to Book Your Spot
