So what you are saying is that you have a conscience, but aren't mentally strong enough to follow your own convictions?

Look at the bright side, you aren't alone!

I have mixed thoughts but am not educated enough to comment intelligently.  That said I may give it a try having never fished sturgeon in the estuary.

I still fish often for sturgeon on the lower river. I just really enjoy it. But a 6" slot for keepers? Thanks for a wonderful mostly week day opportunity. They definately do not want many fish removed by most recreational fishers. How much money was spent getting this approved?

It has been many yrs since I have fished the lower river.  Can someone tell me what launch one would use in the deep river area these days.  I believe the old one on Onieda rd is closed, but I heard the state opened one.  Where might that one be.  Might utilize the Washington side and fish some sturgeon.

The state does have a launch upriver and across from the Oneida ramp. Pretty rough the last time I used it.
