Well this is going to sound like a tall tale given that most other fishermen had a tough weekend of fishing. We stumbled across a fishing spot that we had to ourselves about 8am on the sturgeon opener at Roosevelt. We landed 14 in the morning and another 12 in the evening. All under the new slot with the biggest 2 going 40". Saturday was also good 16 for the day... also all undersized but we got a 48" that jumped twice during the fight! Sunday morning we got another 7 with a 36" and a 39" being the biggest. Absolute best Fathers day fishing trip so far!

70 feet of water using pickled herring accounted for most fish. A few were caught using pickled squid. Good luck!

Great Job guys ! We marked many Sturgeon at that depth around the Kettle river but could not get them to latch on.

Went last year and this year as well with no luck. How do I determine a bite. I believe I’m missing something.

The bite most times is light... like a small fish just playing with the bait. With boats going by it can be hard to see sometimes. So after the lightest tap-tap, get the pole, wait for the next tap and set the hook hard! You'll be surprised how sneaky these fish are. Twice we went to check a bait and had a fish just holding the bait! Hope this helps!

I left out that I watch the rod tips constantly. Many times I'd have to tell someone to pick up their pole when it was getting a bite cause they weren't paying attention. Takes diligence!
