Another day of sturgeon fishing

[idahoron]

I had another 3 fish day today. It would have been better if a jet boat had not came in and pushed me out. They were throwing there gear at me, anchoring up close to me. When they came in and took my spot when I was fishing a fish that was the last straw. I either had to leave or someone was going to get an ear full.

Anyway the ride in was a little rough and I hit a rock.

I was lucky that nothing was hurt.
I got video of the fish and the rough ride back to the truck. The wind was making things interesting. Ron

Those are some cool videos. Maybe it's time to move over to a jet drive for your toon. []

It always sucks when people think that they deserve the spot that you are actively fishing more than you.

You are a better man than I. The last time that I was in that situation by the time the boat left they didn't even dare look at me let alone say something.

Had 2 guys tell me I was fishing their rock at Riggins, after ignoring them they decided to cast over my drift snagging my line. So I reeled in and cut them off. One decided to threaten me - oops out came the pepper spray and opened jacket for access to the 40. After 30 min of listening to BS I called it quits. I once had 2 Native Americans back me up on the South Fork of the Salmon same situation. I took a lot of good natured ribbing about Indians coming to my rescue - tough when you are alone.

Actually your best friend is the video camera and cell phone - film it with registration of the boat. Then call cops and F&G.
Not advocating violence but when you spend hard cash to go fishing or hunting ect it sucks when your trip is ruined by assholes.

Keep me posted how you do. Don't get hung up on bank fishing ways for floating. Use only enough weight to get down and don't worry about casting. 2 to 5 oz is plenty. If you have a Fish Finder use that to locate holes and locate fish. Ron
