Title: Shore fishing for sturgeon
Post by: bmynbr on October 04, 2013, 06:41:22 PM
Anyone have any decent places to shore fish for sturgeon in the surrey Langley area.  I know the surrey dock is a decent place but can be really busy.  Any info would be much appreciated
Thanks Dave

Yar. My dad saw three guys haul in a pair of sturgeon in a little over two hours from Derby a few weeks ago when he was fishing from his boat for salmon.

Although I hear its a snag-fest because there is a million yards of mono in the water there from people breaking lines... At least thats what someone said when Derby Reach was mentioned for a location to salmon fish.

I was thinking derby but have also heard of a lot of snags
Had also heard somewhere near the old Albion ferry
Brysonk I can't send pm's. My email is bmynbr@hotmail.com if you could send me a few spots that way. Thanks again

You can fish for sturgeon just about anywhere. Just find a good spot with good depth and throw out something stinky!  There are lots of spots on the south side of the fraser just take a look at a map. Good luck; and just make sure you have a decent rod and reel set up for this as you could hook into a monster.

I've successfully landed Sturgeon to about 5' from shore; haven't hooked into anything bigger. Anyways, I haven't fished for sturgeon in a while let us know how you do!
