What better way to bring in the 2025 Years Celebration than spending a beautiful day on the river, barbecuing Mennonite Farmer Sausage and pulling in sturgeon for tagging and scientific measurement. Pete an George joined me on the river and they brought in 8 fish on the day. To keep their strength up, they brought some Mennonite Farmer Sausage, BBQ sauce and buns so I tossed the boat BBQ on board so we didn't have to take a break for going for lunch. Everyone's energy and sprits were high and the day was a bright start to the 2025 season.

Ronnie and Janet and their sons Jake and Tom called up from Texas that they were coming to Vancouver on New Years Eve and could I take them out for some sturgeon? I gave them some advice to bundle up and we needed to get going first thing in the morning to catch the right part of the tide. Well the day dawned bright and calm winds and the first fish hit pretty quick but after a half hour battle where we couldn't get it to come to the surface the big bruiser broke our leader. Undaunted we put the bait back out there and slammed a double header. The whole family got into the act as they teamed up and traded the rods till we could get the fish onto shore. Then it was a great time, measuring and tagging the fish and getting some once in a lifetime family photos. The team hit 7 more fish and landed five of them. The last one, another biggie, broke the main line. Are they coming back again? Yes said the youngest, after they do some weight training!
