  • Jay Siemens is at it again and headed to the Rainy River with guest Ryan Lilly in search of sturgeon. Water levels are high, but the team dials in their tactics to land a sturgeon that is nearly as big as their kayak.

    We must have missed you by a day or two! We go up every April for Sturgeon and have an absolute blast. Our boat had a hot day with 14 fish totalling over 57 ft of fish in the boat, 2 being 65".
    Thanks for doing the catch and cook on one. We talk about it every year but we haven't done it mostly because of how cool of a fish they are.

    It is not for everyone because you're waiting for the fish to come to you and not hunting the fish, but I love fishing from the bank of the North Saskatchewan River near Edmonton for these monsters. The biggest I have gotten was around 60", and at least 40lbs. I add some scent to the gob of nightcrawlers to help the Sturgeon locate my bait, the scent leaves a trail down the river. Very cool watching this episode, and hell of a job doing it from kayaks! Cheers fellas

    We catch gobs of these monsters every year on the St Clair River. Biggest I've seen put on the Algonac boardwalk was 84". Beastly. 25 minute fight on 12' Ugly stiks running 40-60 lb test braid.

    Caught some 3 and 4 footers all within an hour of wisconsin river just last week! It was insanity. Slider weight and octopus hooks with night crawlers will do it. Been to the same spot and used the same rig but cut bait and caught tons of catfish, but the worms are the only thing a sturgeon will take

    Most of us who target them rarely keep them. I try not to keep more than two a year.

I'll try to catch some walleye and make those fish dumplings like on a previous Jay video. Trying out Neso Lodge for the first time and looking forward to it. Your videos are great Jay!
