where are some good places to fish for sturgeon on the croix?

and where or how do i get shad for bait?

[Tattooer]

Thanks guys, It was a blast.

As for good places on the croix, I hope you aren't asking me. I'm a serious rookie that got hooked to quick.

Wow, nice one! Congrats.

Tattooer if you enjoyed Sturgeon fishing I would recommend checking out the Catfish forums on here and maybe give it a shot. Similar type of fishing compared to Sturgeon fishing.

That you J?

Buz here, friend to shadowman and Brynn from the old Coffee Gallery days.

Awesome sturgeon!

My friends Scott and Laura were the ones that took that photo for you the other day. He was just showing it to me on his phone a couple of nights ago.

Wow. Small world.

I love fishing for dinosaurs, and try to do the Rainy River trip in spring every coupla years.

We'll have to get together and go out some time.

Here are a couple more photos. One of the landing and another of the release.

I've been out another 4 or 5 times but no action other than suckers & sheep head.

Any advice on structure, times, weather, bait, hooks, etc.? I want to catch more of them but I'm not doing very well.

So what is the word everyone?

Water too warm? Too much traffic?

Normally by now we have dozens of great pics. My guess is water temps. I wasn’t even excited to make the trek over this weekend.

I hate to even say it, and it’s odd saying it, but we really need a big cool down and or some rain to spark a bite. That’s my story and I’m stickin to it.

I was intending on getting out to the croix this weekend. But with the warm temps and nice recreational weather I decided to stay local....Rain is coming this week and I hope to get out next weekend. Yes, I'm ready for Fall.

Head for the Rainy Darin.. Folks been getting Sturgeonfish regular.

[wildcatcreek]

Suckers and Drums are fun too. Keep fishing for sturgeon, and you'll eventually catch all them big strong varieties of fish. Great sturgeon!!

[Eric Wetteland]

I was off to a good start but it has taken a tern for the worst.I think it is the warm weather.I was out on Friday night and I think we saw 40 boats or more and they get close. we got one small fathead and one small drum. I hope we get some rain and it gets cold just to get people off the river.

Thanks for putting up the video Darren.

What a way to end the soft-water season (at least for big fish). It was mid-30s out there, but there was NO wind (not until midnight or so at least), so it was really a great night to be on the water. Caught a few sturgeon, a couple small sheepies, and about a 2 lb redhorse. Twins game was a killer, but my PB-tying 57 inch sturgeon made up for it.

Thanks for having us out there, Steve! As always, it was a good time.

[HotPocket]

Nice fish Brain

[Slowhand]

Woah yeah nice one Aanderud.

[Lowblazah]

dang looks like i passed up a good time...glad you guys got on some fish!

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

I think I know that spot lol

Couldn't pass it up.

We should have stopped over and seen that beast in person. Nice job and GREAT FISH.

[aanderud]

Thanks guys. First big fish I've caught all year. Only took til mid-october, eh.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

One is better then none. I still haven't caught a sturgeon yet. John brought like 5 or 6 in to my one 6 inch channel cat haha, but a night on the water is better then sitting around the house bored.

Thanks again John

[DTro]

Today’s the last day.

One more chance to have some good times with the Sturgeon. Good luck to anyone that makes it out. Maybe I’ll see ya out there
