any one have any luck with sturgeons in the lower fraser...from richmond all the way to mission?? i have heard a few reports but not consistent.... can anyone shed some light please and thank you!
-
I went down to the fraser dock and saw a few guys fishing.I was showing them how to rig up right when a very big and i mean a VERY big sturg rose about 5 from me :P Lots of fish around just have to keep trying because this high water is keeping them on the move.
-
shhhh, that's MY sturgeon! lol
-
this high water has been awful for strugeon fishing but will definately keep trying...i havent landed one yet this year...oh well there's other fish around
-
The high water has actually been really good for sturgeon fishing this year. the fish have been coming in close to shore during high tide to feed so you don't have to cast very far. I've been fishing the Langley area and have had fairly good luck only being skunked twice in about 10-12 trips. I've even caught a couple little ones within 10 feet from shore one while I was retrieving my line. Didn't know they chased down bait...
-
hmmmn interesting about castin close by will have to try that thanks..lol that sturgeon must have been sitting on that bait then it ran away so chased it down... :P

was out again today and they were slamming my ollies. landed 3 a 3-1/2', 4' and a 5-1/2' and lost a couple more. Was the best day I've had out there this year.

Nice work - where were you, if you don't mind me asking
-
find the slow water and u will find fish fishing has been good with 4 to 6 fish average for the day try differnt baits getting them on everything not just one bait hope that helps
-
i went out today for 3 hours and caught another nice 38.5" sturgeon in langley area.
-
wonder if we almost ran into each other bryson. where were you at? i was at a nice little corner of derby reach from 6am to 9:30ish.
-
I was fishing from 9am to well after high tide and a few kms east of you ;). I usually have my best luck right around high tide, at least when fishing closer to shore. During low tide you might have to get it out a little further.
-
dammit i need to find time to target these dino's again... been busy moving and tying flies for this upcoming salmon season
-
I have gotten 2 smaller 2.5-3 feet sturgeon on North Arm of lower Fraser.
1) Train bridge off of Richmond side of river road north of 8 Road.
2) 7 Road Pier
All using Blood worms, each time on highest possible tide.

Went out a few days ago lost a buncha gear wasn't worth it water is still running hard and high seen a ton of fish jumping though might have to give it some more time but if your catching them good on you ;D

So yesterday i decided to go do some sturgeon fishing. Right at slack tide had my rod sitting there and it was being played around bobbing up and down...i had one solid hit but once i set the hook i felt the solid tug then gone...so i reel up check my bait its still good re casted almost to the exact spot. I let my weight settle down in the bottom and set my rod down. Not even 10 seconds big pulls on my rod and i set the hook then bang fish on. brought it close to the dock no problem but as soon as he gets close he starts diving down going deep peeling line then after a few runs i was able to bring him on the surface and i was greeted by a nice 4 ft sturgeon. Finally my first one of the year pictures was in buddys camera but not very good quality.

Nice work! Not too tough, just gotta get out there more :)
