I whent down to Sturgeon Falls last weekend to hit up the white bass run, been wanting to get a white bass for sometime and had the perfect day and time of year to do it. After getting some shiners, I made it to the sturgeon river below the dam around supper time. People there where saying that the runs were over... but I didn't want to give up so I unloaded my canoe and fishing gear and paddled my way up to where the current meets the slack water in the large bay in an eddy. There was a few gentlemen on a boat fishing aswell but didn't catch nothing other then a bullhead. I ancord down in 15-18 feet and putted my rig down with shiners. An hour past and all sudden the gentleman on the boat hooked into a 10 inch white bass. Really brough my hopes up! 5 minutes past and I had a hit myself, I set the hock and started reeling. The fish was fighting real good, when I brough it up to my surprise it was a 13 1/2 inch white bass, my very first. I scrambled to put my line back in the water and the fish in the bucket to keep it fresh. I had several bullheads hit including my personal best of about 13-14 inches, all of which were released. Ive also caught a walleye that 23 inches but because nippising system gets a lot of pressure I released him to survive another day. CLose to around 8 I got another white bass but it was around 15 1/2 inches and 2 pounds. I kepted fishing until 930 and didn't get anything else. Originally I was suposs to go to Dunnville for the channel catfish but due to last minute monetary reasons I couldn't but in overall was still a very successful trip I got my first and was a good size too. Oh and they are awesome eating too.
