Get ready for a one-of-a-kind fishing trip with Croix Boys Guided Adventures! Our 4-hour Sturgeon excursion is perfect for anglers looking to land the big one while enjoying some serious comfort. We're talking a party barge with indoor seating, heat, and a bathroom - no roughing it here, folks. Whether you're a seasoned sturgeon chaser or just looking for a fun day on the water, this trip's got you covered.
Here's the scoop: You'll be cruising on our decked-out party barge for four solid hours of sturgeon fishing. We've got room for up to 4 people with one captain, but if you want to bring a bigger crew, no problem! We can add another captain as a deckhand and bump that number up to 8. It's perfect for a group of buddies, a family outing, or even a low-key bachelor party. The best part? You don't have to worry about the weather - our barge has inside seating with heat, so you can stay cozy even if it's chilly out.
Sturgeon fishing isn't your average cast-and-reel gig. These prehistoric-looking fish are bottom feeders, so we'll be using some heavy-duty gear. Think big rods, strong line, and bait that'll tempt these giants. We usually anchor up in deeper holes where sturgeon like to hang out. Your captain will show you the ropes - how to set up your rig, where to drop your line, and how to tell when you've got a bite. And let me tell you, when a sturgeon hits, you'll know it. These fish can grow over 100 pounds, so be ready for a workout!
Lake Sturgeon are the stars of this show, and for good reason. These living fossils have been around since the dinosaurs, and they look the part with their armor-like scales and shark-like tails. They can grow huge - we're talking potential 100-pounders here - and they put up one heck of a fight. Sturgeon are slow-growing and can live for decades, which makes landing one even more special. Spring and fall are usually the best times to target them, when they're more active and feeding heavily. The thrill of hooking into one of these prehistoric beasts is something you've got to experience to believe. It's not just about the size - it's about connecting with a creature that's been swimming these waters since before your great-grandparents were born.
Our sturgeon trips are a hit for a bunch of reasons. First off, it's not every day you get to fish for living fossils from a party barge. The comfort factor is huge - having a heated indoor area and a bathroom means you can focus on fishing instead of freezing or holding it. Plus, sturgeon fishing is a real team effort. Everyone gets in on the action, whether you're manning a rod, netting the fish, or cheering on your buddy during the fight of their life. It's the kind of trip where even if you don't land the big one, you'll have stories to tell for years.
If you're itching to tangle with some prehistoric fish while kicking back on a sweet party barge, it's time to lock in your trip. Our 4-hour sturgeon excursions fill up fast, especially during peak seasons. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, this trip's got something for everyone. Grab your fishing buddies, pack some snacks, and get ready for a day on the water you won't forget. Don't let this chance slip away - book now and let's go hunt some dinosaurs!
Lake Sturgeon are living fossils - these prehistoric-looking fish have been around for millions of years. They're big, sometimes reaching 6 feet and 100 pounds, with a shark-like body covered in bony plates. You'll find them cruising the bottom of deep lakes and rivers, using their whisker-like barbels to hunt for food. Spring and fall are prime times to target sturgeon when they move into shallower water. Anglers love the challenge of hooking one of these powerful fighters - it's like battling a submarine! Their meat is prized, but most catches are catch-and-release to protect populations. If you want to land a sturgeon, try drifting with a glob of nightcrawlers near deep holes or drop-offs. Just be ready for a long, arm-tiring fight when one takes the bait. It's an experience you won't forget.
