After the great trip a few nights ago the sturgeon fever had set in and it was time to get back on the water. Regina was busy so Cade, Quinn, Brian and I headed back out. We again launched at Tisdale and checked out a few holes before we found one that looked promising. We had the rods in the water by dark and around 7:00 PM the outside rod buried but the fish was gone before Brian could grab it. Within minutes the inside rod buried and we were hooked up! We got all the other lines cleared and as I went to hand the rod to Cade the fish came unbuttoned, dammit!! After a few choice words we re baited the hooks and went back to fishing. We fished the rest of the night and had a couple bites but nothing to swing on. At first light we headed upstream to another spot I wanted to try for awhile. We got anchored up and baits in the water, and patiently awaited a bite. We had been sitting there for a half hour or so and had seen 3 sturgeon roll when the outside rod pumped a couple times and buried as the line went towards the middle of the river. I grabbed the rod and set the hook but again it came unbuttoned, I guess it just wasn't meant to be! We fished another hour or so and saw a few more roll before calling it a day.
