I spotted a window in the weather forecast, with minimal wind for 3 days in a row, so I grabbed Monty (a sturgeon virgin) and Kory and we headed to Idaho.
It was especially nice when the first sturgeon landed was caught by Monty (a respectable 5 footer) and then we all got in the act. Nothing huge this trip, but Monty took top honors with a 7 footer.
My outboard quit working, at the end of the first day, so we got around, for two days, using the trolling motor. It would take us just under an hour (each way) to get to our fishing hole. On a positive note, we sure saved a lot of gas by not checking out several different locations and using the trolling motor instead of the 150 hp outboard. Had the weather not been ideal (almost zero wind) using a trolling motor would have never worked.
Great time and a lot of fun with Kory and Monty. Now to get up to Lee's Marine to get the outboard repaired. Hopefully, Monty and Kory will post some pictures and a video or two.
