Suisun Bay (California) Sturgeon!

Having heard of great sturgeon fishing on Saturday when a charter
reported five or so sturgeon were brought to the boat, I finally got
inspired to get off my duff and head for Suisun Bay. I don't think
I've ever fished for sturgeon in August, but...

I anchored near Garnet Point around noon. I tossed out some very old,
frozen lamprey. Even the stripers wouldn't touch it, but the sturgeon
likely still would take it. Four hours later I had a heck of tough
sturgeon on who ran like a freight train. I'd have bet it was a
hundred pounder the way he took off. After 10 or 15 minutes he was
exhausted at the boat. I was shocked how small he was. But he measured
52" and weighed just 30 lbs. He was a tough little fighter.

One sturgeon tag down, two to go!
