STURGEON FISHING IN SAN FRANCISCO BAY

[Dominick]

I went sturgeon fishing in San Francisco Bay.  It was a little chilly before the fog lifted but turned into a sunny day in the mid sixties.  Here I am waiting for a bite.  I had to catch up on the news as there was a lull in the bites.  We caught lots of "junk fish" and one king fish but no sturgeon.  Lot's of laughs though.

Here is Marcus teaching small leopard shark how to fly.

Lot's of these.  At first they are fun.  But after a while they are tiresome.

Here is my friend Jacques the best boat mechanic and boat owner.  That is the San Mateo/Hayward Bridge in the background

Sturgeon fishing is kind of laid back.

looking good buddy, I thought we were the only ones that had junk fish.
Is that espresso in that thermos?

Hello;  at least you got to go, looks kinda cold for the day, nice boat too,  theres nothing better than fishing sitting in a chair.  Having fun......

Oh so nice to be on the water.

My son spent 3 years going to school in Hayward, I always wondered what kind of fishing was out there in the bay.  I thought about trying to go fishing but it never worked out, closest I got was driving over the San Mateo Hayward Bridge to Hi's Tackle shop..  Here's a couple pictures of some catch and release sturgeon from the Fraser River near Harrison Hot Springs BC.  We were on a guided trip they kinda have it dialed in.

i know there's not much else to do this time of year, but i think i'd almost rather watch paint dry, (or maybe watch snow melt  )!

Why the hell are you fishin for surgeons I thought we were supposed to fish in the bottom of the ocean for lawyers just kidding with ya Dominick. Looks like a relaxing day out there. I gotta go start the snow blower now.....again. Total of 18" + this AM. I rather be sitting on that boat in the fog not catching.

When I worked in Indonesia and traveled to the site early every morning I would see rice farmers knee deep in the water and mud starting their day and I would think that I was glad that is not me. I think now I would rather do that than start a snow blower early in the morning. Every region of the planet has its down side I guess. Sure makes the spring time extremely sweet.

Dwight, all I got to say is thank god for snow blowers and plows!!

A day fishing is always a good day.

Looks like fun Dom!

I know a lot of fishermen say that about sturgeon fishing but sitting comfortably on a boat drinking beer and telling lies with a few guys you enjoy the company of is great fun even if you don't catch fish.  "Watch snow melt" Alan I thought you were above throwing a dig at the guys back east.    Dominick
