I've got some fresh sturgeon. Any recommendations on how to prepare it? Ive never had any before.
Binky, I have done the same thing when I learned to fly fish awhile back. What made all the difference was having a buddy take me who knew what he was doing- game changer. Also, save up for a half-day with a guide, that will also pay huge dividends. You'll be catching 20 inchers on a size 22 fly in no time.
as much as i'd like it not to end the pull of seasonal addiction order and a summer of honeydo negligence means this was probably the last get outta town piscadorial pursuit.
started the season here over st patties day so a green ending brings er round full circle

Hey! Just in time to go fish in a Man's Fishery: GOA golden king crab in 300 fathoms of water!Quote:

Then, they take 30 minutes to block up, if they're not popping and coming up slow. This gives your deck boss, "Fightyaforit Mike", lots of time to drink his daily quart of Irish whiskey and spin yarns about ol'time skippers who used to throw 4 candy bars on deck for 5 deckhands, just to watch who'd fight for it...
Monkeys push pots around n never sleep....I drive a 100 grand skiff for a highliner n sleep 6 hours a night... I longline too BTW,..... And you ¿???

Damn nice fish!
it was great to fish out there SFB and sorry we didn't link up. i sure recognized your dog right away. man the winds were brutal that sunday. we scared up a bunch nymphing and a couple on streamers. i lost what was probably a chunky brown near the end of our float sunday, would have loved to see that fish. didn't get into anything bigger than 18" but they are certainly angry there. hope to be back
Aenigma, wow, well done dude!

welcome back. the year of the small fish
Putting on the foil, I see...
In the salt....it's been fantastic. Saturday off LI was wild....bass to 42" and blues to 16lbs...a report of a 22lber came in as well...nonstop and nearly instant hook ups live lining. Plugs were working as well and almost every cast had a fish stalking it if it didn't take.
I'll argue at one point there was a stacked 1/2 mile of bunker schooling and being crushed by everything hungry...including the 2 finback whales we hung with...iPhone pics of whale so pic quality is eh but they rolled around for nearly 3 hrs.

^ north of south shore
That's the south shore but today the north shore mid island is lighting up for the guys that are out...smaller bass but gorilla blues...fun stuff on the fly.
