Sturgeon Season Opens with a Bang
Sturgeon Season Opens with a Bang
Oktober 6, 2025
The much anticipated October 1 Sturgeon opener has come and gone, and here are the results: Wednesday 10/1: The first day is always the toughest, but this year we landed right on them. The fish started biting within 10 minutes of our anchor, hitting the ground and didn't stop for several hours. We ended up with 15 bites that resulted in nine Sturgeon landed to the boat, three fish that were lost mid battle, and three outright missed bites. You just can't ask for any more than that. Friday 10/3: On Friday, we went back for more of the same and found good action. Not quite as good as Wednesday, but we still managed seven really nice sturgeon to the boat for our group. Saturday 10/4: A totally different story for us on Saturday. We went back to the original starting point to find the fish had scattered, and we're not as cooperative as they had been. Which resulted in two fish after a couple of hours of fishing. We made one slight move picked up a third fish. As we were getting close to the end of the day, I decided let's give this area, arrest and take a look on our way back in. And, why am I glad we did that. On the final step of the day, the fish were biting in the bottom of the boat off. Within the last hour of our trip, we landed six big Sturgeon, including two doubles and two single hook ups, which gave us a total of nine fish for the day. We couldn't be happier for the way the season has begun. We are looking forward to a long season of fighting hundreds of Sturgeon for our clients. We still have lots of openings for October and November, which are sure to be really good months with lots of opportunities to catch big Sturgeon Give me a call or book straight on our website. Either way we're looking forward to hearing from you or seeing you on the water. **hidden content** **hidden content** Our schedule is open to book Sturgeon trips between October 1st and April 30 2026

For those who have issues with sea sickness/motion sickness, the ocean has more waves than the Bay, being prepared will make sure it's an enjoyable experience.

Winds were moderately strong. We were on a smaller boat so the ride often felt choppy. But this was expected (I had been in touch with Captain Sean leading up to the trip), we never felt unsafe, and in fact, the kids felt the thrill of being on a fast boat in slightly stronger winds.

It was a little windy but the weather was beautiful. A warm afternoon led to choppy seas but it was nothing to be concerned about.

It’s a good intro to open water fishing. The waves aren’t too high but there’s some rougher areas. Even if you’re not actively catching fish, the surroundings are beautiful to sight see.
