Sturgeon Reports

[Mr Special]

Hello Everyone,

Long time no post ey. Sorry but between a kid, work, school, and moving. Fishing had to be put on the back burner, but not this wkend.

I’m planning on heading out Friday night, Saturday AM and Sunday AM. From the limited reports I’ve heard so far, the fishing has been slow like normal early season and it was a complete Zoo out there last wkend.

I usually fish the community hole in Bayport, but has anyone every tried south of 94? While white bass, I noticed some pretty nice looking breaks and holes in that area.

Just wondering how the fishing has been in the past week?

Thanks everyone and if you see a dark blue 16 ProV with a 50 yami, stop and say Hi

I was out on Monday and yes it was a zoo. I put in at the Bluffs at 2:30 and was off bu 7:00. We had two fish one was 30+ and the other was 54. I will be going out on Friday so if you see a old 1957 alumacraft 16 foot mod K say hi. I will be by myself. One more thing I will be south of the Kinny.

Hi Mr. Special,

Don't forget that your boss getting on you about emailing all the time has probably influenced the "long time no post" as well.

Good luck Phil.

Cool boat! My dad has the same one. How does it do on the river?

[Eric Wetteland]

I have to say its a nice river boat. not a lot of room but she can handle all off the big wakes. we did have some three and four foot wakes last Monday. I also got out last night and we did good. my friend and I had four fish in the first hour and one more get off. I think the one that got off was the big one. the big fish for the night was about 40". all in all a good night to be out on the river. If you would like to go out sturgeon fishing on the K Minnesnowtawild give me a call 651 269 0017.

Eric, if you don't mind me asking, what depth are you finding these fish at? I'll be making my maiden voyage tonight!

[Eric Wetteland]

dtro I was in 30-45 feet last night but last Monday I got my 54 in about 20-25 feet. I like to play the sit it out game and hope the fish will make a pass by my rig. I'm also new to this and I am not very good at detecting bites. with that being said things are getting better every time I go out. I thing I will go back out on Sunday. good luck

[DTro]

Thanks for the info Eric!

I will put it to good use tonight. I'll let you know how we did.

[Eric Wetteland]

dtro the best time was about 7:30 if that helps good luck and let me know how you do.

Due to other obligations I was only able to make it out Saturday morning, so I decided just to fish the Bayport area. It was a beautiful morning the water was glass, plus seeing the PMTT guys, I almost ran home to grab the ski gear. We only had 4 bites and boated one 31” fish. We fished from 36’ or 20’, the fish was caught in 26’ of water. I think it’s still too warm, the water temp was 74. Hopefully we’ll get some cooler weather and they'll put on the feed bag for us.

I might sneak in a mid week trip if possible. Good luck everyone and keep the reports coming.
