Plant is running. Warm water flowing. 14-16″ in stable areas. I have about 10 sturgeon landed this year with a 53″ being the biggest. Most have come out of Anderson point. Base of the break. Throw a dart and you catch them anywhere. Typically move closer to the warm water as it flows. If you’re willing to move spots watch for bait balls on the graph. I’ve always tried to target areas conducive to high production fish areas in general. More than anything time on the water will produce. Extremely boring and non-visual fishing but I can tell you guiding a few friends this year to their PB sturgeon was extremely rewarding. Tight Lines!
12 inches of good clear ice. Went out this weekend the crappie fishing was the worst I have had in years we did manage a few crappie and a 45 inch sturgeon in 35+ hours of fishing over the weekend will try another spot next time I’m there.
thinking about heading out to the “Bayport Basin” this weekend… are the ice roads open from North Hudson and Bayport? Any concerns about driving out in a F150?
Does anyone know if the shad are present at all? Me and a buddy of mine are going out on Saturday and we wanted to use fresh shad as bait for sturgeon.
