Title: Iceman's first Keeper Sturgeon

Post by: ICEMAN on April 21, 2009, 08:04:41 AM: Thanks Cohoho.

Folks, Cohoho is quite the fish pro, if he decided to take on a guiding business some day, he will do awesome. My good friend and I had the opportunity to hit the water all day with Cohoho and try for some springers, then switch to sturgy. The springers were dead slow, so we bailed and hit a few spots for the sturgeon. I have caught many sturgeon, but finally a keeper this weekend. Great weather, great fellowship. Fun day for sure. Thanks Cohoho!

Congrats Iceman!

Post by: shoot-em-dead on April 26, 2009, 06:00:50 PM: nice fish. When I lived in Vancouver we always fished for sturgeon and I really put forth a lot of effort. Usually 3 or 4 times a week I would be on the water for at least 3 hours except all day on Sat. I finally caught a keeper after 5 years of fishing while it seemed everone else was always getting them. >:( When I did finally get him all my buddies teased me that I caught a retarded one because his fins were all messed up but I was and still am proud of myself. That was the only year I caught keepers ( 5 total ) and haven't had any good luck since. Still fun to catch the shakers. So, my question is how long did it take for you?

Post by: cohoho on April 26, 2009, 11:27:18 PM: Almost every other trip this winter except for when Robodad is in the boat!!! :chuckle: Summer last year we did pretty good for the most part, a few times limit out the boat, but mostly one or two keepers and crap load of shakers... There have been lots of blank days for sure... Especially when I started last spring learning what the heck they even were...
