First pontoon sturgeon trip this year

[idahoron]

I got out to Sugar cube creek today. Air temp was in the low 50's and the water was 42 degrees. I fished for 3 hours. I got a couple of bites but I think they were squaw fish. I saw a couple on the fish finder but they were not on the bottom.
This is the first trip I have made this year. I am now using No ethanol gas and it runs great. I put in a new spark plug and I am ready for the season. I took some pictures even though I was not successful. Ron

Lucky. I took the bass boat to CJ. Fishing was slow water temp 45. Crappie guys already in the narrows. Taking Gertrude to lower Salmon tomorrow, bass clubs having a big bass derby, but I'm going sturgeon fishing. Sure wish the water would come up so I could get me some sugar.

Ron, glad to see you got out on such a nice day. Last time I went up to "Sugar Cube Creek" we hooked 5 and they were all between 3-5 1/2 ft. long. Nothing any bigger. You ever caught bigger ones there?

I've caught lots of 7 ftrs there over the years, we just need the water to come up. Went to Lower Salmon today and caught 2 little guys and lost a good one. Also caught a bunch of mussels.

I bought a 4 hp Johnson seahorse last fall. I took it in to make sure everthing is good to go and I am going to have them go over it with me to help me understand how to start it and everything. I hope to cut the time down a little going into Sugar Cube Creek. I can get about 4.8 MPH going up stream. I get over 5 MPH going down. I hope to be over 6 both ways I am keeping my fingers crossed. That will help me get through the first set of small rapids. Ron

Sure would be nice to launch at the power plant two miles down stream on the south side. The road on the north side sux.

Or even right above the rapids on the south side. Have you ever found out who owns them? I am trying to figure out how to get my big boat down the road on the North but like you said it sux. Ron
