Today the Mercury Marine Destination takes us to the Fraser River near Chilliwack in British Columbia.
Charlie and wife Terri join up with long time friend Len Ames from Len's Sportfishing Adventures. This has become a much-anticipated trip every year. The Fraser River Sturgeon are big and powerful, and you can always count on a few moments of unexpected chaos. Not only do you need quality equipment, but with miles of potential hiding spots, new breakthroughs in fish finding technology can pay off big. It's an obvious advantage when you are soaking baits where fish are. Bent rods and hard pulling Fraser River Sturgeon.
Species - Fraser White Sturgeon
Tackle - Daiwa size 50 & 60 Saltiga reels, Daiwa Proteus rods, 10/0 Mustad Big Gun hooks, 130 lb test Seaguar Threadlock braided line, 200 lb test Seaguar Threadlock leaders, Mustad swivels, Minn Kota drift socks, Humminbird Helix 9 with side imaging. Viking 100% waterproof jackets, pants and Bibs.
