Hey guys,
Some shameless self promotion here, but also to promote the fantastic recreational sturgeon fishing we have over East here in NB.
The Saint John river system is home to the only population of shortnose sturgeon that is open to a recreational fishery. It is 99.9% catch and release as the fish have to be 120 cm (nearly 4 feet) to retain and most of those caught in that size are still released. While hard to catch a 4 footer, the average size is about 32 inches. My personal best was 54 inches, and I've caught about 15 cracking the 4 foot mark out of nearly 400 total over the past 3 years.
In addition to shortnose sturgeon, we also have young atlantic sturgeon (up to about 30 inches) who live in our rivers till they are old enough to migrate out to the ocean.
For anyone looking to get away this Spring and try to catch a few new species, I invite you to check out my site (nbkayakfishing.ca) and consider paying us a visit. As the only sturgeon fishing guide and only kayak fishing guide, I can accommodate groups up to 5 people in high end fishing kayaks to pursue these fantastic fish, No license, equipment or even experience necessary and the cost is a small fraction of what you might expect.
The Spring sturgeon fishing season will start as soon as the ice breaks up on the river, likely early April, and last for about a month at which time the sturgeon will move out from their wintering ground all over the large Saint John river system. Space is limited, so if you are interested in making the trip east, contact me me sooner than later and we can arrange things!
On a side note, I'll be driving to Ontario mid-summer with my kayak and can't wait to experience some of the fantastic fishing you guys have in your own back yards!
Cheers,
joe
