If you have time the Fish Hatchery at Bonneville Dam has a full pond of sturgeon - they usually have a 12 footer that is worth seeing - also the main viewing windows for the fish viewing is sure worth the time.
Here is a link to the fish counts on the Columbia - if you are after the large sturgeon then go when the shad run is at its peak.

One last point is boat safty - if you have never fished in heavy current (like below Bonneville) let alone anchor - or even retrieve your anchor - PLEASE use a guide - the Columbia doen't forgive.
Have a great trip and start doing some arm exercises....
