Title: Sturgeon......
Post by: leaseman on April 24, 2006, 08:12:29 AM

The last few weeks have been slow for us on the sturgeon front......until now...headed down river from Fort Langley to some new water (for us) and set up "shop"...within ten minutes we were into our first fish!!...the area we were fish was different to most of our late spring/summer spots as I am use to fishing 15-40 feet of water....where we were on Sat. we were fishing in 65-70 feet!!!

As we like to say we ended up with 45+ feet of sturgeon (10 fish) smallest around the three foot mark with the largest two being an honest six feet ;D

Great day...great weather...nice to be back out with my son and buddy!!!

Get out there and have fun people

Mike...the guy with tired arms ;)

I'm from shore too. We've been doin' good lately. Correction: I've been doin good lately ;D And for those that ask for spots, Try driving around and find an access point on the river and wet a line. Trial and error, when you find a place that you catch fish, stick to it.
