I finally got out of the house this week after staying home by the
fire the whole month of January. I headed to Delta Marina on the
Sacramento River in Rio Vista (N. Kalifornistan) with the coach and
the boat, and spent three days fishing.

Day 1 and 3 were spent at Decker Island where I spent many hours for
no fish. I had one good hit and missed it.

Day 2, Wednesday, was a better day. Suisun Bay was flat calm, and
after five hours of patiently waiting, I hooked into a feisty, strong
sturgy that put up a great fight! He measured 55" and was very slender
- probably a male. I released him to fight another day. He fell for
eel, as it's the only bait I use any more.

The water was very high and the outgoes were huge. The debris was
pretty heavy, too, but not many big trees.

It was great to be back chasing sturgeon!
