Just wonder how long is it and is a jet drive !
I seen a flat bottom boat with a 20 hp jet drive on her a few weeks back i was thinking of picking up as a second boat just for some NSR fishing.

If you are interested maybe we can trade a fishing trip River for a lake trip !
My lake boat.

You are going to have a blast. There are a couple really good spots right around the Fort, and I'm sure you'll find them!

buckbrushoutdoors · #11 03-29-2009, 12:25 PM

i know most of the spots in the firt here, there are just so many more to explore out side the fort. A guy i work with got some maps of the nsr from a friend who is a bioligist and does the sturgeon studys and tagging and the map has been marked with all the known sturgeon bedding holes i cant wait to try a few of them out.

buckbrushoutdoors · #12 04-05-2009, 07:36 PM

Thats like cheating but awesome :P , my dad used to catch alot of sturgeon on the NSR but in prince albert, Sask he said the biggest was bout 140 cm,

buckbrushoutdoors · #15 04-05-2009, 08:04 PM

right in the middle of the fort usually we catch one of those a night if we can keep the gold eye off the hook long enough, and i feel your pain for not having a camera all i have to show for my 34" walley is a mark in my paddle from my knife hahah that still haunts me

Explorer Industries in Edmonton. It's the second boat they built for me. I used to have an Explorer 162DC. It was awsome.... Just figured I'd go a bit bigger.
