Default Sturgeon: Still reeling 'em in on the Sacramento River!

I just got back from three nights at Brannan Island Park (near Rio
Vista on the Sacramento River). I fished Tuesday through Thursday, and
caught a total of three sturgeon.

Tuesday was a blank, but a flat calm and beautiful day on the
Sacramento River.

Wednesday was breezy, but after aborting a trip to Suisun due to a
very rough river, I came back to the same old spot off Decker. During
the afternoon I reeled in two sturgeon, both females (I'm pretty sure)
and both about 66" or more and probably close to 70 lbs. I released
both to continue the mission upriver.

Thursday my friend, Willie, joined me and after a few unsuccessful
sets to what seemed to be sturgeon bites, we got onto one tough ol'
male sturgeon. After Willie got it to the boat he measured in at 55"
and weighed 31 Lbs. That was Willie's first sturgeon and he's now
joined me on the downward spiral to uselessness.

All fish fell for eel.

Again, great story and photos, Dale. Willie looks as proud as a
peacock, and rightly so.

Thanks for the post.
