Fishing Forum

[font "Times New Roman"]I am planning another sturgeon trip![] I have one confirmed angler and another one who lives in Idaho, who will be fishing with us on one day, so there is room for one more angler. We will be going up near Mountain Home, Idaho fishing from my 19.5’ boat. We will leave Bountiful area at about 3:30 PM Wednesday September 3rd and return Saturday evening September 6th. If the forecast is for stormy or windy weather the trip may be cancelled.[/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]We share expenses for fuel and bait. Each person should plan on spending around $130 ($13.75 more if a two-rod permit is purchased) for fuel, bait, and a three-day fishing license. I have tackle that can be borrowed; however, if any tackle is lost or broken I will expect to be reimbursed. Only other expenses would be cost of food (we eat out once going each way) and then each of us is responsible for our own food. We camp on the river at no cost. For those not familiar with sturgeon, they are the largest freshwater fish in North America. The largest we have caught from my boat was caught on my last trip (June 2008) 92 inches and would weigh around 235 pounds. On that same trip, I am quite certain that I lost a larger one that was burning my drag until it broke off my 80 pound Dacron leader.[frown] Of course I can not make any guarantees; however, based upon previous trips the likelihood of us catching several sturgeons is high.

Man that sounds great!!
Have to save my vacation for a cruise in November or otherwise I would go.
Also have to get over the shyness and just go with some of you guys.
Example: Wife does not want to go fishing today so here I am sitting home with the itch, a boat, and the bait and tackle too.

Yes you do. I have fished with more people on here that I can almost remember and it has been great fun. If I could only fish when my wife would go I would only make it out two or three times a year.
