Steve Piggott Posted August 8, 2009 Report Posted August 8, 2009 Went to the river for some bass,and caught my first stugeon
bucktail Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 That was great!!!! Everytime I am in the river I wonder how many of those dino's are underneath me, I assume that was lower river?
Leecher Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Awesome Steve Congrats on your first dino Real beauty!!! Leechman
BillM Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 We snagged a sturgeon years ago when fishing the sandbars for lakers... Took a good 2hrs to get it close to the boat, estimated at around 10ft or so... Biggest thing I've ever seen in fresh water.. We had a little floatilla of boats around us wondering what we had on that was taking so long to bring in. Got it up to the boat, tail out of the water and gave the rod a good snap and the shad rap came free...
Paully Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Totally Cool!! Is there many sturgon in the niagara river?...
BillM Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Totally Cool!! Is there many sturgon in the niagara river?... I would guess it's probably one of the best places to fish for them in southern Ontario.. Just a guess though.
Steve Piggott Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Posted August 9, 2009 I would guess it's probably one of the best places to fish for them in southern Ontario.. Just a guess though. Sturgeon is closed all year round on the Niagara.I have fished the river for 20 years and that is my first.I know of a few others caught on roe.

ehg Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 my friend dives out by the fort and say's he sees a lot down there Nice sturgeon! That must have been a surprise. Hopefully they will be coming back, slowly as it may be.
michaelkovacs Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 well done! nice video. always pays to be prepared!
Rizzo Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 I have seen one on the underwater camera while drifting down the upper niagara, maybe just a bit smaller than that one. Very nice!
bridge Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Nice fish. I Caught a sturgen in the whirl pool last year on roe about that big. Took a long time to get up on a 10' noodle rod.
