Default Long weekend sturgeon

Had a good weekend down on the river, the weather was great, barely any wind most of the time. Fishing was fairly slow with the rising waters from the upstream rains. Met another forum member and his crew and got to watch an unscheduled diving demonstration by another camper. Moral is, dont get too drunk to stand and hang out on a riverbank I managed 5 sturgeon over the weekend, from 50 to 53 inches, as well as the usual bait stealing moon and goldeyes. one sturgeon I caught had some serious damage, thought at first it was line cuts, but it looks like maybe something happened in the flood. other than the gory details the fish seemed otherwise perfectly healthy.

Wayne and I are friends, one of his rods is a 40 year old steelhead rod I traded him for a 10 foot medium light moochin rod (we both had needs that couldn't be met),, his other rod is a deal I got him on an Ugly Stick Tiger.

He knows I'm joking when I say BOOOOOOORRRRRRIIIIING!!!!!

We forget sometimes that nobody really knows who knows who on here.
