An Eerie Morning
September 30, 2024
Olivia and Mike were with me this morning, hoping to catch sturgeon. Although the bite had been difficult lately, I was going to try and hook them up. Between all the NE winds we had been having lately and the heavy fog banks, it wasn’t easy. Today would be no different!
We carefully made our way out in this dense air and began the search for sturgeon. I covered plenty of water and hit several good areas, with only one walleye to show for our efforts. This wasn’t looking too good!
As the time drew near to the end, I finally stumbled on an area holding some fish. What was suppose to be the last 30 minutes of their trip turned into over an hour. I couldn’t leave with the fish biting! They both fought and landed several decent sturgeon in the remaining time along with another good walleye, that joined the other one from earlier this morning. Oh yeah, Mike also caught an eel that was unhooked at boatside.
This day may have started off slowly, but in the end it all worked out. In just a short time there were several sturgeon landed and we went out with a bang. I guess you could say that I pulled a “Hail Mary” today!
