Alex & John were with me before for sturgeon and hoped to get into them again today. The bite had been slow lately, but hopefully this would be the day it would start. With the full moon having passed I could only hope!

We rolled out from the docks by 7:30 and scouted two areas, without seeing much in the way of big fish. I ran all over the lake and set up on the third one as it showed some fish. Unfortunately, after over an hour and a couple of moves, we still had nothing. Time for a complete change!

I ran them to a bass area and here they began to hook up. John had the hot hand with several big fish on a dropshot. Alex had a few chances but only managed to get one decent fish before we left the area to try for sturgeon once again.

I ran back to one of the furthest places we had searched in the morning and set up after looking all over the place for marks. In the last couple of hours, we had shots at 8 bites and they managed to land 5 sturgeon and one walleye. It wasn’t what I had hoped for but at least they caught the right fish!

Today may have been a perfect day for weather, but the fishing was definitely subpar! The high sunshine, zero wind and insane almost 90-degree day for October, wasn’t what I expected. I don’t think the fish did either! The water temps actually climbed up to 70 degrees by the end of the day, making it feel more like summer. With less than one month remaining in the sturgeon season, I hope the weather cools off and sends them into a feeding mode soon. Regardless of the outcome today, both Alex and John had a great time and that’s all that counts! They had a picture-perfect day and caught some fish too.!!
