Today I took Nick and Dave out on the Sacramento River for some sturgeon action. We departed from Ward's Landing in the early afternoon with hopes of hooking a striper or two before setting up for the night. We got in a slot below Meridian and it was not 10 minutes into fishing when my pole loaded up and I set the hook. The fish started head shaking and pulling line ,however, it only lasted a few seconds before the un welcomed long line release happened. The fish was obviously a big sturgeon and with the light striper tackle was no match, oh well there is always next time. We continued to fish through the night without any more sturgeon action, but we did end up with a couple 22" keeper striper's that Nick took home for the dinner table. It was a good night with good company even though the sturgeon action was non existent.
