Greg and I took off to go sturgeon fishing on the Menomonee River right after work on Friday. We got up there, fished for a bit, slept on the boat and fished until noonish on Saturday. We caught two rock bass, two small mouth bass and a sucker fish that pulled a rod right in to the river. We had to reel in the other line, pull up two anchors and chase it down. Just the very end of the handle remained afloat! Not a single sturgeon. I think they were nibbling, but they are such gentle eaters, it's hard to get them on. Other people were catching sturgeon, but nothing near the 60" minimum to keep. It was absolutely beautiful on the river. Hardly anyone there. Big difference from last year on the lower Dells. Started raining just before we left, but I didn't care, I had my rainsuit and it was warm. Wished we could have stayed longer and will probably go back up at least once before the season is over (Sept 30)
