Leslie was back with me today and he brought a friend and his son. We met at 11:00 for a 4-hour trip and headed straight to try for sturgeon. Winds were out of the NE and blowing at 10 to 20 knots, causing a good roll on the water. Here we go again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon arrival, I knew that this was going to be a challenge once again, as the boat was sideways. With the wind opposite the current direction, it had positioned us so that I had to place the rods all on one side to fish. Although not easy, I did mange to get one bite and the little guy landed his first ever sturgeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had decided that we would only give sturgeon a short try and soon changed up to fish for smallmouth. Dropshotting was going to be the method and it didn\u2019t take long before the action began. The first few fish were all big ones and the bite was good for a while. I covered plenty of water after the original area slowed and never really got into them again. On our last location, we hit another group and managed to finish the day with a bang. Lelie and Chev landed a handful more good ones, before we were done. Today may not have gone as planned but there were definitely some nice fish caught. Half days are always harder when you only have 4 hours to get it done. By splitting the time between two different species, we definitely reduced the number of fish caught. Overall, it was still a great day with absolutely beautiful weather in the end, when the wind stopped blowing. Great times were had by all!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
