17653, Eight foot sturgeon caught on Sacramento River
Posted by FishWisher, Thu Dec-03-09 08:21 PM
I headed again this week to the delta for another few days of chasing sturgeon. My first day was a skunk near Decker Island, but a boat nearby had to raise anchor to drift with a huge eight footer to get him to the boat - and away from the damn furbag who tried to steal him. They managed to boat him and move him back downriver to save him from the sea lion - and I caught a great photo of him as they released him.

On the second day I cruised down to Suisun Bay for a glorious day of calm water and sunshine - but no sturgeon action.

Day three, back at Decker Island near Rio vista, I managed to reel in a 46 incher that I chose to release for another day.

I stayed at Delta Marina and RV Park in Rio Vista, a very nice place to spend nights in the coach and days on the water. Keeping the boat at the dock sure makes heading out each day a pleasure.
