Long lined the reefs around Garlic Island tonight and what a show the Sturgeon were putting on... I saw a half dozen big fish come completely out of the water including a nice 50 inch fish that jumped 3 feet out of the water when I hooked him off bottom..... I ended up hooking 4 Sturgeon tonight all in the 50 inch class.... I even managed to get my Shad Raps back on 3 of the 4.... but could not boat a single Walleye... I caught 3 smallies, a couple of big sheepshead and that was it.... oh and I almost got run over by a 30 foot sailboat with no one watching out from the helm.... it came straight up the back of my boat and never changed course... If I would not have taken action.... I'd be a hood ornament for the dam thing.... I yelled and finally someone came up from the lower berth and yelled they were sorry....

I'm off this week and looking for a place to fish if anyone can pass along any hot tips.... on the Winnebago chain...

Thanks in advance for the help!!
