holy crow best sturgeon fishing day ever

[thebug]

i had today off from work so i decided to hit a local hole and go chase down some dinos. well between about 11:30 am and 8:45 pm i hooked and landed 9 fish ranging from about 4.5 to 6ft (its a bit tough to put a tape on a fish when your all alone) That is the best i have ever done in one day and brings my year count up to about 50 fish. Man alive i am loving this work nights fish days thing.

great to see some younger fish, where were you fishing down by mountain home or boise, Just the general area would be great. Next time you need a fishing partner let me know. I own my own buisness and can get away alot of different times. Pm if ever interested.

Pretty fast action for sturgeon, there. Wish I had some heavy enough gear to target them. What were you using as bait?

[hoolee99]

I will bet cut bait was the choice bait, we used to use Lasco Roll mop Herring but I can find the same brand around here anymore. All the stores have gone to the other brand which I firmly belive that it does not work as good as the other. We had a 12 fish night at swan all over 6' and one real hog at 9' 3". Doesnt mean squat without pics I know.

It has been two years since I have fished that area hard, I lost my sturgeon fishing partner to cancer three years ago and have a hard time fishing that area. We casted his ashes out at rattlesnake eddy and its still tough.. he will be missed. But I am and have been looking for another partner that has the same passion as he did to help get me fired up again. I want to get back into it but going with the brother in law and other friends has been tough cus they just dont understand until you tie into a 7 or 8 or 9 even a 10 footer. How and why you can stare at a rod tip for hours and still leave happy not catching a thing cus you know any minute it could be one. Always looking for new fishing partners. Sorry for the sob story

fishing partner for about 6 years and also we roomated together and ended up working at the same company, tons of time spent talking fishing and thinking about fishing. I know for a fact that there are some real giants not so sure how many are still down there. If I had a good choice I would fish the upper waters of strike resivoir I believe that they can hide in there and not get caught too often. A couple years ago they found I believe 4 heads lopped off of fish at swan and one was a good 7 foot fish. I feel that there are people taking them and and killing them because the law enforcment has been lack luster at best down there. I have been checked maybe twice in 8 plus years fishing. I did not mean to hijack the thread sorry

My condolences a person never really realizes how much the depend on friends or how the impact our lives till they are gone. Kinda funny tho I have had people say why spend all that time and money if you cant keep them. they understand after i have took them and they have hooked into one [laugh]
