In October I had the chance to join a freind for a days sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River. None of us, other than the guy who owns the boat, had ever been fishing for sturgeon before. All I can say is WOW!! :shock: That was the most incredible day of fishing I've ever had. We caught and released 16 fish. (No retention of sturgeon allowed in the Fraser.) The smallest about 2 feet and the largest measured 6"6". Its incredible to see these huge fish jump out of the water! Amazing. Now I know why Tyboo spends so much time fishing for these critters. They are amazing. Did I say that already? We ended the day with a triple header just as it was getting dark. What a day.
A few pictures are now in here
 
Those are nice fish. I have only caught two sturgeon, both here in marysville. One was a keper and one was 76inchs. man what a fight. I keep saying that I woll get out again but dont seem to have the time. I may go in december when work is slow.
 
Nice pics!!! Those sturgeon are a true game fish. Once you get one you're hooked. I sold most of my trout/kokanee gear and fish them almost exclusivly here now that the Dory allows me too.My boat's biggest is 89+ inches.

That is almost half as long as your boat. I bet that was fun bringing it in.
 
bnc, Are you fishing the mothball fleet?? Thats a reall good area from what I hear. I use to fish the delta for striper and strugeon, never could get a strugeon. Now its salmon and strurgeon, sure miss the striper

Yeah...Moth Ball Fleet mostly and up thru Montezuma Slough. I live about 5 minutes from the Martinez Marina so the Fleet is a 10 minute ride away.
The fishing is hot right now.A 110 incher was just caught last week.Nothing like soaking bait and having the chance to catch a 30lb striper or a sturgeon bigger then you!! The river salmon season has been a bust down here this year but Dungenous Crab season just opened Saturday so there's always something to do

Here's a few pics of the 89"er

Tight lines to all!!!
