Default Nov 11: Another Sacramento River sturgeon!

My fishin' buddy John joined me for a trip to Brannan and Decker
Island.

We dropped anchor about 0830 at the same spot as the past few weeks,
just off Decker Island and as close to the shipping channel as we
could.

Around 1030 he set the hook into a lazy sturgeon who didn't want to
fight. In five minutes a 55" sturgeon was at the side of the boat. He
was so lazy he didn't make even one run. He was a good looking fish,
but acted very weird. We released him and kept at it 'til sundown, but
no more action for us.

A nearby boat caught a 75" and released it, and another just above the
minimum size, by what we could see, and kept it.

Another great sturgeon day!

I'm wondering how much a round trip ticket from DC costs. We've had
rain for a solid two days, and it's supposed to continue for another
two days.

With all the " weekend warriors" out there catching them and not
releasing, it's no wonder they're endangered.Plain dumb.

John, you're finally getting what we didn't.

It's not the "WWs" that take too many sturgeon, it's the poaching
(much of it by immigrant Russians)! California has about 170 sworn
agents to enforce our wildlife laws. Imagine about 50 on duty at any
given time for the entire state! The fools that have ruined California
in so many ways refuse to pay for enforcement and that is the problem.

This is the crap from Ida. That hurricane caused by the anthropogenic
global warming. It's getting old. I can't see the grass in my back
yard because of the leaves, but it's too cold, wet, and windy to get
out there and rake them.

Uh, they have to be tagged, you only get to take a couple per year.



We get three tags per year now, and the slot is 46" to 66". So if you
really like to fish for sturgeon, you have to release a lot of them so
you keep that last tag 'til about Christmas.

Unless, of course, you're a poacher and then there are no limits of
any kind - and you'll likely never get caught in Kalifornistan where
we'll send your illegal immigrant kid to college, but we refuse to
protect our wildlife!

If California is so bad, you could always move, eh, Dale?

*communicate* with me through rec.boats, because, well, you are among
the permanent members of my dumbfoch dumpster. As always, have a nice,
simple-minded day.
