Apparently four guys in a 24 foot Hydra Sports CC latched onto a small
mako - about 5/6 feet or so and very athletic. It sounded aft of the
boat and all of a sudden came right up out of the water and into the
boat. The mako started taking chunks out of everything in site and
just beating the hell out of the interior of the boat. The four guys
were hanging off the T-top trying to avoid getting whacked or a piece
taken out of their hide.

I love that quote (and movie).

Looks like we're gonna need a bigger boat.

I dunno... this is about catching sturgeon, not Bush or sex or

fishing considered OT on rec.boats?

Anyway, I finally caught my first sturgeon of the season on my fifth
try. I
cruised down to Suisun Bay (on the California Delta) Wednesday
afternoon to
spend the night near Garnet Point. About 10:30 I had a feisty, tough
sturgeon on that seemed a lot bigger than he turned out to be. He
weighed in
at 43 pounds and measured 58". It took me nearly twenty minutes to
get him
to the boat. He was a very slender, tough male.

He took lamprey, a bait I haven't used in a couple of years. In fact,
both
sturgeon (one 3' shaker that I released) that night took lamprey. I
alternated the 2nd hook with shad or ghost shrimp and both sturgeon
chose
the lamprey. I reckon I'll keep using that for awhile.

I spent awhile in Martinez, and never got a chance to go sturgeon
fishing. Seen a nice one caught off of the Martinez pier, though.
