A few sturgeon

[Tayzak15]

Since I'm new on these forums, and I've noticed a few ppl posting pictures and recaps of their season. I figured I'd share a few images from my final sturgeon fishing trip of the summer. I usually go target sturgeon about 3-4 times per summer and this was the final run of the summer. We ended up catching 3, along with 100's of walleyes between the 3 of us. Of course everything was catch and release. I choose not to keep fish, unless I really have to (weekend camping trips, ect). Unfortunately I'm limited on the amount of photos I can add so I was only able to upload 2.

Nice fish (where are you located? )

 

Timmins

Ah, ok...nice fish!

 

 

 

 

Thanks! hoping to get more sturgeon fishing trips done next summer. Always had to rely on someone with a ATV to get down to the launch. This upcomming summer I'm just going to chain up my small 12 footer down at the launch so me and my friends can just walk the trail with the motor and gear.

There was a thread here a little while ago that suggested(if I understood it right) that it was illegal to keep sturgeon anywhere in Ont. Now I'm confused!

Timmins is Zone 8 - there's an open season with zero possession. C&R only.

 

Sturgeon is a touchy subject round here, that's why I asked where he's from.

 

Yeah seasons open from Jan 1st-Apr 30th, then from July 1st-Dec 31. We never go after them until august, of course all are caught and released. In the month of June when we are at this spot as it is an amazing walleye hole too, you can see the sturgeon right around the shore doing their spawning, I have seen some up to 7-8 feet long up near the shore at this spot when were there for walleyes.

Why no shoes?

This spot was about a 20 mile boat ride from a makeshift launch down the river. When its raining like it was in those pictures these rocks we stand on underneath a small waterfall get extremely slippery. We get better traction off those rocks when their wet barefoot then we do with shoes on.

I've seen them in Hudson Bay tribs as you've described. An amazing sight for sure.
