After declaring my Delta salmon season over last week it was time
to
head for Suisun Bay on the California Delta, near Pittsburg and
Antioch, CA, and get my sturgeon season under way.

I arrived at my honey hole on Suisun Bay about 1130 Tuesday
morning. A
huge outgoing tide was predicted and the weather guesser promised
light winds. It doesn't get any better on Suisun!

During the huge outgo, I reeled in two nice sturgies. The first at
1730 was likely a keeper at about 46" (I didn't bring him aboard
for a
measure) but I released him to grow bigger. An hour later I had a
suicide hit on steroids unlike any sturgeon I've ever caught - he
was
like a freight train taking that bait! I got him to the boat in
about
15 minutes, and chose to keep that one. He measured 59 inches and
weighed 45 lbs.

Both came on eel and during that big outgoing current. I spent the
night aboard and headed back upriver to Rio Vista the next
morning.

Lots more photos, a couple of short videos of the night on
Suisun, and
more story on my
homepage:http://fishwisher.wordpress.com/2011/11/10/two-=

I gather you eat that ****? If not, whats the sense of catching
them,
hero?


I take it you are not a fisherman.
