Yep! It's time for sturgeon again.
I fish aboard my 22' C-Dory Angler on the California Delta
(
www.californiadelta.org), the Rio Vista and Suisun areas mainly. I
started this season last week when I released a 40 incher that was a
very strong fighter. Our slot limit is 46" to 72".
I was out again yesterday and today (I overnight at anchor) and hooked
in to a total of four sturgeon. I released three yesterday measuring
about 28" to 45". That 45 incher was a gas - he ran about a hundred
yards when I set the hook and breached three times in the process. But
I had to release him.
Today I finally hooked into a small keeper, the minimum 46 inches. He
joined me for a boat ride home.
All were caught on lamprey.
