Default And to think I was gonna sleep in today

Checked out a new spot for a couple hours today on the NSR, watched 4 sturgeon roll including a huge one, landed one and lost another a few feet from shore

Was also fishing alone so this is the only pic I bothered to take of my first one as I didn't want to handle it too much.

The morning when I was out was beauty until the wind picked up at 8:30am.

I just love being on that river at all times!

Got another tonight - it actually put up a good fight that left me quite tired afterwards, lol


plus a bait stealing walleye, and about 20 hits with no follow ups.


This one had some of it's spot still too! At first I thought it was a sauger :O

Good job, I went and sat on the river bank for 4 hours without a bite last night tried different baits, different size of rigs, different spots but nothing. At least the old lady only had 1 bite about 2 mins in and she lost it.

Deep very slow moving water, and fish the bottom - gold eye can be quite the nuisance lol. Your best bet is to hike the river and put in time locating pockets, I usually stick around when I find rock less bottoms and the odd suckers hah.

Yeah I read that on FB. My first sturgeon on Saturday was a bit over 50 for sure but my tape was up on the bank and I was shaking too much with adrenalin to think to even measure. Most of the other ones lately are all around 74-100 ish cms. CBA got a 116cm yesterday as well.

Wayne, I'm so hooked!

That's a good spot you guys are fishing, always pays off, especially in the spring. Just hate dealing with the mud down there, hence the reason I bought a jet boat!

Nope, not last night. Haven't been out that way yet this year. I've been exploring a couple new areas. Might be out that way this weekend if I don't go bear hunting.

Your killing me here, so what your saying is find the muddiest spot I can and fish the crap out of it. It might be easier to just track your IP address and find out where you live and follow you around .

Well I am on lake fishing for the next few days but I'll have to spend the weekend walking the river banks. Wishing I kept my little mud boat I had

Those last 2 pics are 2 totally different spots.

100s of hrs + of hiking and scouting goes into finding spots like these, so you can see why they're not given up very easily.
