Went out to the sturgy hole this evening hoping for some action. Lately it's been a hit or miss but still enough to get ya out. First cast whammo I have a solid hookup but the fish swims towards me fast and spits the hook. Slows down for a while with only the occasional bite and a friend joins me in the time. Soon we see a jet boat roaring up river and pull a quick 180 and come our direction, 2 Conservation officers dock and quickly run up towards us. 4 others fishing beside us reel in their lines very fast and starting with my friend asks for tidal license and to see our hooks. No problem there of course.
And approachs the 4 others, not 1 of them has their tidal license. In the end they are each awarded a fine and told to leave. Hat's off to the 2 officers for cracking down on this. Meanwhile I recast out my rig and within minutes get solid hits. Then a 10 minute fight takes place and I am inside the front of the Conservation officers jetboat landing the fish. A quick picture(see below) and the fish is on it's way.
The jetboat is even in the picture.
Fish was taken on worms loaded with a variety of scent.
Fish a little while later after the jet leaves and pack it in. Great day on the water.
