Had a good time on the fraser today.  showed up around noon hoping to lose my sturgeon virginity, and at about 2:00 it finally happened. Only bite of the day, but when I set the hook it felt like i was hooking a log😃.

Nice! I'm going out for my first time sturgeon fishing tomorrow, what was your bait choice?

[bmynbr]

Just a chunk of an old salmon I had in the freezer for crab bait

That's pretty impressive for a first Sturgeon and from shore to boot.

Awesome.

Wow , that's fantastic . Nice fish .I would guess ur sturg hooked for life . Were there lots of rods out there , crowded ,so to speak ? .

Thanks guys, after the first sturgeon I saw caught I was hooked. Lol. There was me and my buddy going for sturgeon, and one other guy bar fishing for salmon.  Awesome day on the river, while my kids played in the mud

nice sturgeon, that bar rarely, if ever, gets crowded. theres better bars out there....ive only caught a coho there few yrs back.

I didnt even know you go get sturgeon out there, will give it a go one day.

[bmynbr]

My first time fishing that bar. Normally go to Duncan or Brownsville. Figured it was the best bar out therefor sturgeon since it's the only one below the stave. Poplar is blocked by crescent island. I know there's better spots to fish for sturgeon, but it was good for the kids to play in the mud. Although there was a decent amount of broken bottles I had to clean up

[Humpy]

Should of set up the spinning rods for the kids 

[bmynbr]

We had them with us, but one seized up for some reason, and the other ended up with a snag and broke off. They were not getting any action anyways so decided the mud was more fun

Did you have to cast very far?

Not super far, but definitely had to get it out there.

I've never actually heard that.  Good to know and will take photos in the water next time.
