Title: Big Thanks to Riverside for the Sturgeon Tournament
Post by: Zpg on May 13, 2007, 08:26:53 PM

The weather today was not the greatest but the water conditions were a lot better than they were the past week. Debris levels were easily delt with compard to earlier in the week. For those teams that opted out due to water conditions, a fun day was missed. Hopefully next spring this tourney can be held before the freshet takes hold.

Fishing itself was a bit better today compared to last week. The "roundup" at 2 bit bar at the end of the day was quite fun and informative. It was great to meet some of the seasoned sturgeon guys and get some valuable tips. A few of the teams that I spoke to got skunked while others had a decent day. I had to leave before the finaly boat arrived but it seemed a 6 footer was the winner with several 5 1/2 footers taking second and third.

Team Titan, my team, finished with 5 fish for the day with the largest being only 4 1/2 feet. Not enough to fight for the big prize but a good day anyways.

Thanks again to all the folks at Riverside for their work and efforts organizing this day and I look forward to the Fall tourney.

Thanks to everyone that came out and participated in the derby. Congrats goes to Rod Toth as well for taking home the cash kitty. Our boat put fish in the boat all day but we only managed a 59" as our biggest which placed 3rd. Took fish on everything, eulachons, lamprey, dewies and even fresh spring roe from last week. The debries wasnt that bad either. Great day on the water. Ill post some pics tonight from the shop.
