Betty and a monster lake sturgeon!
/Betty and a monster lake sturgeon!
Well, Betty wanted to catch a sturgeon for her birthday. So we headed out for a cool fall day on the North Saskatchewan River. We started catching walleye after walleye. We couldn't keep them off the hook! Which is a good thing if you are targeting walleye, but when you're constantly catching walleye it's tough to hook up with a sturgeon. So we moved around around until we were getting hit's by the elusive sturgeon. Then the game was on! Once we found them we were catching a sturgeon every 30 to 40 min. We managed to boat 6 sturgeon for the day. Which was a great birthday wish come true times six! Not to mention all the walleye we caught. It was a fantastic day! Six sturgeon, one was just shy of 60". And a handful of smaller ones. Fishing does not get any better in Alberta!
