No video this time I was too stupid to turn on the camera. Oh well [Sad][Sad][Sad][Sad]
Today we got up early and headed for a sturgeon hole. It was almost hot out side but my wife was freezing. We hooked up the pontoons into Optimus Prime mode,
( hooked together) and made our way to the hole.

We motored up to the hole just about an hour after daylight. I figured I would leave the boats hooked up until I got the first fish. Not long and the clicker started to scream so I got her away from the boat. I told her he was coming up and boy did he. He got a full 2 feet in the air right in front of the boat.

So after I get the first one released I told her she could float around. She found my boys neoprene socks in the pontoon and put them on. I tell you she was cold.

Well she had a touch of motion sickness and headed for the bank when I yelled I got another one.

As I released him he got turned and I thought I was going to end up with a fish in my lap. All I could do was block him with a foot. He fliped over turned and headed straight for my wife's boat. It happened so fast she couldn't scream. The sturgeon was about 6 inches under water and went right to her less that a foot from her and then dove.

I told her I was going to make a short day of it so we headed out about 11:30. We went to lunch and had to do a few things before we headed home. I thought it was a perfect date. Ron

Looks like a great time. When I read your posts I always want to go buy a pontoon boat. Never been on one but looks like a great way to fish.

Awesome report and pics. Looks like lots of fun. My wife gets cold easily as well.

Most of the time I catch more than the guys in boats do. Pontoons are a great way to fish. Ron

My wife loves that spot, I'd like to portage the falls and fish below Shoshone Falls. There have to be monster smallies and sturgeon in that strech. Going to Auger tomorrow if there is enough water.

Be careful the water is very low. Ron
