Unusual sturgeon trips

[wiperhunter2]

I made two one-day sturgeon trips this week.  It was nice to have the weather finally cool down enough that I was comfortable going after them again.  I fished a new area and we caught a few.  The first trip we managed to land 10 (also lost 4), with the largest going 76".  The second trip we landed 13 (also lost 3 and had 1 break off), with the largest going 78". On both trips we missed far more bites than we hooked.

The first trip was all sturgeon; however, the second trip was extremely unusual.  I have been fishing for sturgeon for ~15 years and never caught a carp.  On this trip I caught 3 carp (all mirror carp), two Utah chubs and a perch).  The carp were all caught on pickled herring (Having used herring on all of my trips I figured carp didn't like pickled herring).

Attached are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Sounds like a couple of good trips Kent. Not sure why but when I click on your lower pic to get it to enlarge, the top pic comes up instead. I was trying to figure out why your hand was open like that, with the fish below.
