WWG, they are fun on lighter gear...but then you'll have your hands full when a 15 pound channel or 30 pound flat comes a knocking!

The Polo jackets are PFD's. Ralph just picked one up in a differant color, but has the same 3m reflective material. They have the jacket as pictured which the sleeved zip off to make it a vest. Then the complete outer shell comes off to make it a light weight comfortable PFD.

I don't sell them, but Peter, the fella pictured on the left bought one after fishing in one that night.

Correction, Ralph just picked up three--one for himself, one for the wife, and one for any other lucky passenger in his boat.

I was supposed to be out tonight, but the work thing got the better of me. Good luck to those out tonight.

Shackbash and I got out last night. I was a bit leary with the massive cold front that passed through recently, but you can't catch them if you don't try. We got on the water about 4:30 and fished until 11:00. The weather was surprisingly pleasant. Just a slight breeze--enough to push us upstream against the current.
We started the evening off with a near double within the first half hour. We had slow but steady action. Things tapered off after dark, so I decided to move to a new location. We sat there for a while with no bites for nearly an hour, but things started heating up around 10:00. We had great action from 10:00-11:00 when we decided to pack it in for the night.
We ended up boating 11 fish. Shackbash outfished me nearly two to one. Our biggest went 47" and we had several more in the mid 40" range.
Lots of fun and a good way to end my fall sturgeon season!

Nice fish guys!

I had a hunch that they might start to pick up later last night, but we stayed close to home and chased some walleyes instead.

We were out there on Monday night, right as the front pushed through, and had one of the slowest nights of the year.

I bet tonight could be pretty good I have all my gear with me and ready to go.

Nice fish guys, looks like a fun night.

What the heck is up with the CrappieTom safety chartreuse stocking hat Ralph, thats his signature accessory.

LOL, someone left it at my house once. I never found the owner so I threw it in the boat

Ya, it sure was a fun night

No Manny's steak dinner last night , but almost thought right at the end it could have been a 50"'er+

Thanks Ryan for the fun time and great trip! Wish I could get back out again tonight, but the wife works tonight and I am stuck with the kids at home.

Good luck to all who go out tonight.

LOL.

We were hoping for a release shot of a 50-incher to get a steak dinner out of Steve D

Nice fish guys.

Still debating about tonight.....I think Darren could probably talk me into it.....

So another words....I will see you at my house at 4:15.

Let me think about it.......

OK

I'm going out one last time. My son and I are going out at 4:30 out off the bluffs.If anyone sees a 1957 Alumacraft mod k say hi. Hope everyone has good luck.

Dont you guys get any big ones? Ill bring back some picks from rainy and show ya what a Sturgy is suposed to look like.
Seriously good job and nice picks guys. You cant help you have to fish the lowly St. Croix.

You take what is given to you Northlander

Between these and Rainy fish, no contest.
