Welcome To Big Game Fishing

Welcome to Big Game Fishing — your headquarters for unforgettable fishing adventures on the Columbia River. Conveniently located near the Hammond Boat Basin in Hammond, Oregon, we proudly serve anglers from across the Pacific Northwest with quality bait, tackle, fish processing, and local fishing expertise.

Bait & Tackle

We have frozen anchovies and herring all year round. We have a great selection of tackle as well, and will continue adding more, based on customer requests, so let us know what you would like to see!

Fish & Crab Processing

We are available all year by appointment, and daily May through November for processing your catch, whether it be halibut, cod, rockfish, tuna, or salmon. We can also cook your crab!

Fishing Charters

Although we do not currently offer charters ourself, we have a list of guides to whom we can refer you for fishing and/or crabbing trips. Feel free to contact us or stop by to find out more!

What Our Customers Are Saying…

"Had the pleasure of getting my catch cooked by Jim. His boil blew my mind away. First time ever trying fresh caught cooked on the spot. I highly recommend it."

"Great service! Caught 3 large Chinook and had no idea how to prep them for transport on our plane back home. JIM was right on it. So pleased with the service. Will be back in August for his help if we have another good catch!"

"Jim and Jen are super friendly and helpful, Caleb the fish cleaner is really good too. So happy with this new group at the Hammond Marina. Way better than it used to be. Good job guys!!"

"Great-helpful people, great gear selection, awesome attitudes. Need I say more? If they put an amusement ride outside for kids there would be no reason to leave. 🤓"

"Always ready to slice and dice the catch of the day. Friendly staff and quality filet."

Big Game Fishing purchased Sturgeon Paul’s World Headquarters at the beautiful Hammond Marina! We sell bait (fresh when available, frozen when not). We can process your catch, vacuum pack it up, cook your crab, and occasionally we have fresh seafood for sale!
