With all the construction going on at the dam,I decided to go down on the weekday hoping to get a good fishing spot. No luck, Lots of spots that has folks there,with their Sturgeon rods leaned on their trailers and not fishing. Many people act like they own those fishing spots now days. Woke up early to go fish the point where there is a post and wire line that runs under water, although there was a camper there,with 2 guys fishing the day before I went early that morning to fish.no one was awake but honestly there's plenty of shoreline fur everyone to fish. The guy woke up and walked down to the river where was. I greeted him,and he didn't reply.he just shook his head and said to me to make sure I don't take their chair. I said to him to not worry. He then asked me if there were anymore guys coming.I told him,maybe a couple more. He then said that their party of 2 has been fishing there for the past few days and got another guy coming. He did not sound happy at all but I just said that there's plenty of room to fish. If it was a tight spot I wouldn't have bothered,but there definitely room for 10+ rods! I reeled my rod in and left. I got to the car and his partner came out of their trailer. Funny thing is I know him and he's a great guy. I've fished this river my whole life and know many of The Sturgeon fisherman down there. Sad to say,this was the first incident for me. Now back to fishing, we fished the river for 2 days totaling 4 oversize, 1 keeper that my cousin caught. We did catch 3 channel cats on our Sturgeon rods.I'm always down to teach others the sport of Sturgeon fishing. If you ever see me down there,don't hesitate to come join me or my party...good luck and tight lines!

Congratulations on a nice fish. Sorry you had to deal with guys like that when you're out fishing. Just because guys camp in an area doesn't mean they own a spot. Most of the time, there is plenty of room for everyone to fish and wish people would show more consideration and respect for their fellow fisherman. So nice to hear that you're willing to help others learn about sturgeon fishing, makes you way above those other guys you had to deal with!

Tnga: thanks. If it was a small tight spot, I would never squeeze in, but there was lots of shoreline. I just had to park near them. It's alright though. I'll be back down there soon!

Cheng nice report and congrats on you guys getting a keeper. We caught over 70 fish last year with only 2 keepers so I applaud you on that. We actually did pretty good on Sat with three fish and many many more lost. I was out today and nothing since the water temp has dropped over 2 degrees cause of the rains. Don't let a couple of cranky old guys sour you, I think I know who your talking about lol. I had the guys on the other point move in on us while we were out fishing and had our stuff all over and they pretty much took over our camp and claimed it for themselves. I just moved to another area not worth the arguments plus we fish from the boat 80 percent of the time anyways. I am camping this week next to the east of the single wide trailers that are fenced in stop in and fish with me there's lots of room there lol.

HI, i am new for fishing sturgeon. me and my fds went down there for a couple time. but we can't catch anything. Anything good plot suggestion, especially low water flow. why i am saying this is because in there the water flow is too high, it just keep pushing back the bait back to the shore. also, what kind of gear and bait did u use. can you share some tip for us, so we can also catch this monster. i will very appreciated it.
