My group had a great time again this year. We caught a lot of 43-53" fish this year, one tagged fish, and went through about 10 cases of beer. I can't wait to get back up there and fish with all you guys again. Here is my biggest of the trip at 55 x 24

We fished the river and it was not the place to be. Some small fish but that was it.

I did manage to pick up two in the 49" range but it was slow in the river.

Eric's wife Justine did manage to catch 6 sturgeon with her largest going approx 41".

Were you guys just using plain hooks? We have always done good with these big spinners we made, but had a heck of a time getting any on them this weekend, we tried shiners, worms, and combos of both.

Yes. And a gob or a 'chandelier' of crawlers. 5+.

Saw a few guys using spinners out of other boats in the flotilla.

I'm a little late, as usual, but holy cow was that fun!!!!!

I got out fished by pretty much everyone but I don't really care. The weather was awesome, the company was great, the accomodations at Wig-Wam were top notch, the beer was cold and delicious, and a good time was had by all.

My wife got to wrangle her first sturgeon and that was a hoot.

Is it next year yet?????

Hello to all Sturgeon fisherman, If your headed that way make sure you stop by and buy a raffle ticket at Cenex in Baudette to win a 2010 Crestliner fishing boat. The money goes towards putting on the Governors opener on Kabetogama. Tickets are 5 bucks a piece and the boat is worth $30,000. We have sold about 7000 ticket, so it's pretty decent odds of winning a very nice boat equipped with a 150 Optimax. Let me know if you have any questions if not you can see the boat parked at Cenex in Baudette.

We fished on the River Friday morning and didn't have any luck, then fished in the Bay the rest of the weekend and managed 11 sturgeon and about a half dozen walleyes. Our biggest sturgeon was 67" x 30" and the largest walleye was 30.5". Great weather for fishing, especially Saturday!!

Lonnie, are you awake?????

I wonder if Lonnies ear is feeling better. Late Saturday Me, Cake, lonnie, Herm thought it would be a good idea to have wrestling matches in the cabin. Somehow lonnies ear started to bleed. Gotta love the Sturgeon Excursion. On a side not Lonnie is a scrapper.

How much weight were you having to use to stay put. Last year it was taking 8 oz to stay put. Years past it had always work well with 3 oz. What did you all find. Looking forward to getting up there next weekend.
