| My daughter and I went sturgeon fishing 14 may to 16 may. We both caught our first sturgeon she got one about 6' long and I got one about 4.5-5 ft. If you have never caught one you don't know what your missing. When the kid caught hers he jumped shortly after the hookset and did a nice little tail dance and Larissa screamed "Daddy it's a shark fish!" I tried to include pics but I guess their to big for this site. |

| psot your pics on either photobucket or imageshack then post the [img ]your photo here from photobucket or image shack[/img ], (without the spaces) this makes the process much easier and it doesn't use memory on this website. _________________________________________________  | Quote: | | What's really needed here are a few articulate liberals, atheists, Maoists, illegal aliens and itinerant bed wetters to argue their various points of view in a thoughtful and convincing manner. |

| After reading your report about them on UWN and after reading Doc Essox's reports those things look like a brutal way to spend a day...... What kind of setup do you use to catch those beasts? ie line weight reel size hook size etc... |

50LB line with a slider above a barrell swivel below the swivel a 2' leader of 25lb test and a 12oz weight tied to the leader. Another leader of 50lb tied to the slider with a 6/0 circle hook with no barbs. We used morts,which are dead rainbows ranging from 6"-8" long, and we also used squids purchased from an oriental grocery store. Plotty when I/we start planning the next trip up which I hope is soon I will let you know and you would be more than welcome. |
