Boat & Captain

At BrokenBack Sturgeon Fishing, we specialize in world-class sturgeon and walleye fishing adventures on the legendary Columbia River. Owned and operated by Charles Whitt, a seasoned angler and outdoor enthusiast, our goal is to give every guest the chance to battle one of the most powerful and ancient fish on Earth, the white sturgeon, alongside some of the best walleye fishing in the nation.

The Boat

26' Alumaweld Intruder

You'll be fishing in comfort from a custom-built 26' Alumaweld Intruder, designed for the big water and big fish of the Columbia River. The covered, heated cabin (season permitting) keeps you warm on cold mornings so you can focus on what matters: the bite.

All gear and bait are provided. Whether you're a first-time angler or a seasoned pro, the boat is rigged and ready for sturgeon, walleye, and everything the river throws at us.
