Well the fishing has been slow on the river.. At least from shore, there were a few nice catches brought in....
1. A thirty-inch cat, which is a master angler entry
long nose sucker 20 inches also a master angler entry.
I went looking for sturgeon and what I ended up with was a dozen fresh water drum, (sheep head) white bass, rock bass, 17 1/4 inch long nose sucker (if and when verified will be my number 4 master angler award for 2004), walleye (almost), and about 50 of them dagberned goby. Every thing was released after a pic or two was taken. Had my heart set on sturgeon. So it was sturgeon or bust.
The river is running fast, and off one of the many boardwalks along the river I had to use 8 ounces of lead to hold my line out.
Sounds like a lot of fish, but not when you consider it was spread over about 30 hours. Don’t get me wrong, the weather was absolutely beautiful as was the scenery couldn’t think of a better place to park a lawn chair and plant my can. A host of food joints at my beckoning not to mention one ice ream shop, which I called home away from home.
Look for pic’s of my catches on the 16 species contest.
