ROLL CALL for Sturgeon Excursion

[hanson]

Hey guys, just putting together a little list of folks attending the Sturgeon Excursion. Just post with who's going to be in your boat and I'll get a list going.

We'll rely on Fiskyknut to keep us up to speed on ice conditions but right now, she's froze over good. The river is wide open further upstream but will require some trailering and driving to get there. Pray for some warm weather guys!

Like Fisherking01 said, CoolCats was a bust but this is going to happen one way or another.

- Chris & Randy Hanson

- Brian Raleigh, Darren Troseth, & Ed Church

Should we change this to an ice fishing excursion? This stinks!

[The Cranker]

Was thinking about atteneding this event. I wanted to meet so many of you!

I talked to a bud of mine who guides out of Border View Lodge and he is telling me that the river is froze over pretty solid. It has been in the single digits for lows at night the past 4-5 days! And not above freezing during the day.

I thought we have global warming? Or is this just another Y2K story??? The whole nation is cold.

Fish On!!!

[fisherking01]

You make the call on global warming. Whether you beleive the scientists or politicians, the sturgeon will still be in LOW/ Rainy River. With that said, plan on attending. A bunch of FMers, and fellow fishermen. What could possibly be more fun! Hope to see you there. We will have a good time with or without you , better with each addition. Have a great day, Brent

[fisherking01]

By the way, Anyone ever ice fish sturgeon around 4 mile bay, or is it not a possibility?

[eyepatrol]

da chise31 will be joining our group from the looks of it!

[Random guy]

Weather and work permitting I will swing over for the day with the boat by myself maybe one other.

[suick100]

In our boat will by myself (Doug Flantz) and my son Tyler and a friend Dan Rogers. We will be staying in a cabin with Iffwalleye and Marineman. I sure hope the Ice will be gone by then, either way, we will be their. We are all very pumped for this trip. FISH ON!!!!

Dave Frank

Nick Koplin

Craig Selland

And I'm planning on fishing with fiskyknut on Thurs & Fri

[setterguy]

I am trying like heck to find someone to head up there with me....I think I have one locked in. If you guys are willing to help out a couple sturgeon virgins.

[Paul Waldowski]

Sparky,

Grab the Cranker and get up there and tell him that you won't take no for an answer.

[harvey lee]

I agree with Paul, Crankdaddy said he was interested in going and the Sturgeon might be the biggest beast he has or will ever tangle with.

[CatManLee]

I'm planning on being there again this year on Saturday. I topped my personal best last year, so I have to "Up the Mark" again.

So far I think it's just going to be me in my boat, but who knows I might have one other person with me. Looking forward to it, if we have to fish "up the river" oh well, it's usually pretty good for Sturgeon all over up there.

See ya'll there.

You should really take that 2nd person. I still remember the radio call for help

[CatManLee]

Yah, It was harder than I thought too try and pull a Sturgeon over the side of my boat by myself and my catfish net was no help either! I could only fit about 1/3 of the fish in the net. I guess if I can't find someone to fish with me, I still have the marine band radio?

[drowningworms]

Yes. There will be two of us. Steve Loos and Scott Nugent. We are newbies to this event and looking foward to it! Is there one particular place that everyone hangs out at after a day of fishing? We plan on fishing Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Loos has a cabin off of Winter Road River and although he's been there the last 30 years, he knows squat about Sturgeon fishing (too much walleye on the brain).

[harvey lee]

I would suggest that if you stop by Schusters Resort you will find the majority of all FM fisherman there. Since you are new the the Sturgeon gig, if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask either here or in the other post for this event.

Its a great weekend.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I will be up there with AQUAJOE and another, but we will be at Wigwam Resort.

[hanson]

Hey Ryan-

Don't be afraid to stop into Schusters in the evening.

Thats where the guys with the REALLY BIG MUGS hang out.

[Tyler Holm]

Ryan,

Stop by for sure. I'd like to shoot the {mud} with you for a while.

Wigwam is where the guys with the REALLY BIG STURGEON hang out

Really, though, I will try to make my way over there at some point.
