Well this is going to sound like a tall tale given that most other fishermen had a tough weekend of fishing. We stumbled across a fishing spot that we had to ourselves about 8am on the sturgeon opener at Roosevelt. We landed 14 in the morning and another 12 in the evening. All under the new slot with the biggest 2 going 40". Saturday was also good 16 for the day... also all undersized but we got a 48" that jumped twice during the fight! Sunday morning we got another 7 with a 36" and a 39" being the biggest. Absolute best Fathers day fishing trip so far!

70 feet of water using pickled herring accounted for most fish. A few were caught using pickled squid. Good luck!
