sturgeon out of baudette

[Blaze]

Traxx - I know exactly where you are talking about. I played a monster for about half an hour on Friday at the bend just down from the eagle's nest. He dragged us all over the river and I never did get him off the bottom. Finally tried puttin' the screws to 'em & horse him up w/6lb test and the line snapped. My wrist is still sore from a good case of Rainysturgitis. Here is my first ever sturg - a little guy that only went 42". I landed him yesterday morning at the "green roof" hole by Frontier.

Blaze,

Congrats! Nice Fish. Were you guys inline, behind a white bassboat, at the Frontier landing on Sat?

Awesome fish! I know its not real huge for a sturgeon up there, but it still gets my blood pumping. I really cannot wait for the 17th till we get up there and try for some of those beasts.

Traxx - I don't remember who we were behind at Frontier. We were in a 14' grey/red Fisher with a 25hp Mariner. We got there about 5:30ish and dropped in right before the guy in the Grand Cherokee jack-knifed on the ice with that big Tyee. That was a circus! I was one of the guys pushing him back up the ramp as he spun on the ramp ice.

ethan77, how'd you guys do? You said you were going to head up on the 1,2, and 3rd. Just wondering how the sturgeon action was.

I'm heading up this weekend for the first time, I am just curious about how deep to fish. I know finding a hole is the best but I am just wondering about how deep of a "hole" I should find. Thanks

Watch your depth finder and when you see the depth go from 17' down to 20+" back to 15" or so, let out anchor and fish the deepest hole. Drop the jig, let the river take it out and fish the hole and the lip. I usually fish about 30' behind the boat if the current is strong. They lay in the deep holes and when you let it drift down the lip into the hole you will get their attention. They bite like walleyes, you don't know you have a sturgeon until you set the hook!

Frommy, yeah its me, where are you at now? I'm up in Bemidji going to school. If you ever want to wet a line up this way and get the chance drop me a e-mail at [email protected], lots of water up here that needs to be fished. Later, Ding

I have been student teaching PE at Detroit lakes HS this past semester in school, so there was a lot of fishing going on. I fish the LOW in the winter like a motha fer. My old roomate lives in Warroad so he normally can show me a good spot. I will hopefully be teaching in Baduette next year so that would be sweet to live on the LOW. I will e-mail you to just to make sure it is the right address.
