what it cost to fish for Sturgeon

[PACKFAN]

Tue the wife and I got up at 1AM   Fished Tue. Wed. and Thursday
it was so hot we had to stop fishing at 12 noon.   95 deg.  so only got 5 hr. fishing in a day which was OK  because the Sturgeon would stop biting at 10 am. I was still in sturgeon but could not get them to bit. did OK up until  10  the bad thing was every thing we got was between 4 and 6 feet.  use to get some 7 footers  saw a new Fishing Guide there Tue.  think that is 5 I have seen. use to be a lot better 
before they showed up.  did not see him catch anything.
we got 8 sturgeon in 3 day

so cost 

Truck gas $340.50
Boat  gas    $94.88
Room for two nights  $155.52         told him I would not be back till gas goes Up to $ 7.00     
total  for just this $590.90

Sounds like a great trip, I haven't fished sturgeon in about 15 years.

I have been getting off the lake by 11:00 and head back out in the evening.  I don't like the heat much.

I try not to pay much attention to what it costs to get out. I think you can't put a price on a good time. If I get to carried away my wife will ask me to slow down.

I use to fish them off the bank below C.J. Strike when I was stationed at Mt. Home AFB back in 70-73 when i was living in Grandview. Lots of fun and no body fishing for them then there. The largest I ever landed was 7 feet with alot of 4 to 6 footers. Hooked bigger ones that I couldn't hold they would head for the bridge downstream and spool me 175 yards.
