I also have some special bait for a 65" sturgeon for you Eric. Now I bet you will really not sleep at all waiting for the departure time. _________________________ FishingMN Sponsors Ice leaders Pro-Staff FM/HSO Sales manager 2006 NASCAR Champion leeharvey@frontiernet.net

marine_man HotSpotOutdoors Pro Staff Registered: 12/09/02 Posts: 3863 Loc: Lisbon, ND	It looks to me on Sportsman's webcam image: this morning that it's starting to open up on the other side of the river. And evidently there's a lot of people wondering if it's open yet, it took me about an hour to finally get through... marine_man _________________________ marine.man1@yahoo.com Fishing Minnesota Sponsors

boilerguy HotSpotOutdoors Specialist Registered: 01/23/03 Posts: 6836 Loc: Avoca, MN. USA	Since this will be my first time sturgeon fishing I can proudly say I have no secret weapon. Well, maybe I do but I'm keeping it a secret. _________________________ Dude, where's my bobber???? Support Our Sponsors - Just Click Here

aanderud Sr FishingMN Family Registered: 01/02/06 Posts: 773 Loc: Carver, MN	Bad news.....motor won't start. I guess WWG and Dave and I will be fishing off the dock this year. JUST KIDDING!! Boy and I stoked. Gas it up on the way to work, put in a few hours at work before noon, just to look like I'm not a total slacker, then off! I probably won't be able to sleep tonight. The funny thing is that even though I'm stoked and pumped, and I've been getting ready for sturgeon excursion mentally since last year, I'll still forget something at home $\:\)$
