Nailer Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Steve and I had the bright idea to head down to the Detroit river Sunday afternoon.We launched out of Whyandotte around 3pm, and fished up river till dark.Steve ended up only getting 1 Walleye around Mud Island. Darn wind was hollowing down the river making boat control, and comfort a real pain.The highlight of the evening was just before dark when I hooked and landed a 4' Sturgeon. The fish jumped out of the water about 2 feet in front of me when first hooked, than proceeded to run up and down the river. My 17' Seanymp has a 80 lb thrust Minkota, and I needed all of it to keep up with the fish as she ran up and down the river.After a great fight we got her to the top and released her boat side. Sorry, but I did not have the camera equipment along, and it was a bit dark for the cell shots.We tried fishing down river this am, but the 40 deg temp a 20 mph wind blowing down the river made it less than fun for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
