. We had a great time catching a bunch of shakers plus a couple nice keepers. One is 50 inches and the other is 51 inches. If you have never tried the sturgeon fishing in the estuary it is a must.

It is so much fun to catch a fish that is that size in shallow water plus have the chances to catch some over 5 to 10 feet long. I consider these fish to be like a fresh-water marlin. When they hook up in 10 to 15 feet of water they have only one place to go but up.
