31 Sturgeon On Opening Day
 

My 2 fishing partners and I had our best opening day on the S.S.R. ever. With a total of 38 fish, including walleye,ling,suckers,chubbs,and 31 sturgeon. Thats right 31 sturgeon.With the biggest ones being 51in. 49in 47in and 40in. Most of them were small 12in to 30in. With 2 double headers and a personal best day of 15 sturgeon, it was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!

Bountiful day congrats

awesome! if you ever feel like guiding let me know, I need a sturgeon!!!!

Took the family out north of LLoyd on the NSR. Fished from 1 till 4 , not prime time , but got 5 sturgeon and 3 suckers. My daughters biggest was pushing 30lbs, and wore a pink tag. It said Edmonton S03063. Anyone know where to get more info on this ? We were 270km east of Edmonton, give or take. The current and debris pushed the lines downstream , so I'm guessing all fish were caught within 25ft of shore. I'll post pics if someone will tell me how.

great opening day guys, congrads. a 31 sturg. day is awesome. you guys start at midnight? any chance of better pics of the bigger fish?

Dace

If I may ask, what stretch of the SSR were you on?
I was wanting to head to the river as well, but here in the Hat the water is very very muddy.

I'll try agian.

Looks like that may have worked , the video is kinda funny , i've got some broken ribs from a fall last week , tough lifting an uncooperative fish ! Now I can post my other daughters big one from last year.

Great fish!! Hard to tell? Is she laughing, crying, scared or happy?

We were in the water at 12:01 and fished all night.We caught the 3 big ones between 1:30AM 2:30AM and no flash on the ipod thats all we got for pics. I'm going to post a video on youtube under S.S.R. Sturgeon 2011 can someone do the direct link thing for me.

Hilarious, hard to tell if shes more scared or happy! I would have mud stains on my knees from the old happy dance if I caught that one! good for her.

I am heading out there tomorrow to fish all day and all night. I hope I have just 1 but if I get 31 I will be blown away.

this storm keeps up you just might be :sHa_sarcasticlol:

She saw what the big one did to her sister last year , so nervous might be a good word. She was getting pretty cocky , and I actually had to leave her with her mom for a while during the fight to help her sister land a smaller one. My kids love the river ! Bring alot of it home on there clothes every time ! My 4.5 yr old caught his first today too.http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/...z/IMG_0508.jpg

sure, rub it in :sHa_sarcasticlol: my turn will come. you guys are making me green with envy.

That's one heck of a day, congrats! And 31 of 38 fish being sturgeon, great ratio:sHa_shakeshout:
Little slow for my crew in the Hat, we only managed half a dozen or so sturg, myself only landing one at 50.5" which was biggest of day so YAY for me but you still got me beat by half inch lol.
Anyways, nice wrangling!
Gonna try spot Y tomorrow:)

Cheers n GL all!

got next Sunday open, you fishing or earning a living?

I try to explain to my kids that it took me 25 yrs to get my first one ! They have come to expect them every time out !

Wish I was earning a living fishing HA!
Likely fishing, let's hook up. Drop me a p.m. later on in the week n we'll make a plan.:)

Wow that is a heck of a day for sturgeon.
Congrats!

nice job ! Hope i have some success like that a little later this year a little farther north ! Congrats on a great day !:sHa_shakeshout:

Day 2 Hit the S.S.R. first light fished for 5 hours and caught 7 sturgeon 4suckers and 1 chubb. All of them were small today biggest one was 30in.There was a north wind blowing this morning making it hard to keep the boat still. I seem to do better the less my boat moves.6 days of hollidays left one of those days the big ones will be bitting.:bad_boys_20:

I fished the SSR at the Forks from shore yesterday evening and for the morning today. In all I caught 4 sturgeon (biggest one was 29.1 lbs), a 9.2 lb burbot and 7 suckers.
