Sturgen fishing

[Big Bucks]

Has anyone gone out sturgen fishing at all lately , or do you guys wait till spring?

Wait till spring it's not good to pin them all winter while there is no food to replenish the energy they burned

What is the main food sturgens eat ?

Eulachons in the spring, lampreys/amnocetes in late spring/early summer, sockeye in the summer, carcasses of salmon and their roe in fall, plus a variety of everything else in between (molluscs, crayfish, dace/pikeminnows, and even a variety of bug larvae and pupae).

It took a long time for many sturgeon anglers to accept the fact that winter sturgeon fishing is just not a great fishery - some still do it, others are finding alternate fisheries to bide their time.

thats a good point Jetboater , I didn't even think of that ,The reason i was asking is when i was out in the boat a few days ago there were so many sturgeon jumping it was crazy.

im a chicken farmer and we ushally use rotten stinkey dead chickens and it seems the more it stinks the better we do

I'm with Thomas,I stop sturgie hunting in late November and don't start again till after March . Give the poor logs a break from entertaining us crazy fishermen.
Dust off the steelhead gear and have at it.
