Shortnose Sturgeon
The smallest of the three sturgeon species that occur in eastern North America. They inhabit rivers and estuaries. They were listed as endangered in 1967.
Shortnose sturgeon live in rivers and coastal waters from Canada to Florida. They hatch in the freshwater of rivers and spend most of their time in the estuaries of these rivers. Unlike Atlantic sturgeon, shortnose sturgeon tend to spend relatively little time in the ocean. When they do enter marine waters, they generally stay close to shore. In the spring, adults move far upstream and away from saltwater, to spawn. After spawning, the adults move rapidly back downstream to the estuaries, where they feed, rest, and spend most of their time
Shortnose sturgeon have five rows of bony plates known as scutes. This unique fish looks like it is covered in armor. Shortnose sturgeon are slow-growing and late-maturing, and they have been recorded to reach up to 4.5 feet in length and live 30 years or more.
The most popular areas for sturgeon fishing are the upper Mississippi into the Ohio and Missouri watersheds. The Great Lakes region is the most common target, though it is a huge area.

We have 10 NEW 2.5 oz. Smoke Odor Exterminator Sprays!!!
If you don’t know about them, Smoke Odor Exterminator Sprays and Candles are formulated with natural odor neutralizing enzymes that destroy odors rather than just masking them. The enzymes absorb the odor from their surroundings into the product, then the enzymes break down the odor’s compound structure, and evaporate the by-product in the form of a clean, natural gas. During the evaporation process, the gas picks up the scent of the product and releases this fragrance into your office, home or car — exterminating the odor and creating a pleasant fragrance for your enjoyment. It’s what makes these products uniquely different from other air fresheners on the market.
Our 10 new fragrances are…
Rasta Love – A sweet and spicy mix of valencia oranges, coconuts, cloves, violet petals, sandalwood, golden amber, patchouli, and creamy vanilla.
Happy Daze – Bursting with fruitiness, it’s a sweet blend of lemon, mango, peach, mandarin candy, pineapple, wild melon, and vanilla.
Orange Lemon Splash – A unique blend of sweet oranges with a splash of tangy lemons. A sweetened, fresh, and exotic intermingling of citrus fragrances.
Pineapple Coconut – A tropical fragrance, which is a deliciously balanced blend of juicy pineapple and creamy coconut.

Hippie Love – A sweet, entrancing, and fragrant combination of tropical fruits with just a hint of spice, watermelon, and tropical fruit punch.
Lavender with Chamomile – An aroma of crisp lavender, infused with chamomile. A sweet, floral fragrance.

The shock-resistant light emitting diode will never need replacement. When using a Night Bobby all you have to do is lightly jerk the line and its rattling sound carries under water to attract fish as well.

Hybrid striped bass:
A cross between white bass and striped bass, and pound-for-pound, one of the hardest fighting fish swimming in Ohio’s waters today. Currently, the Ohio Division of Wildlife is stocking Buckeye, Charles Mill, Dillon, East Fork, Griggs, Kiser and O’Shaughnessy lakes and the Ohio River. Hybrid striped bass can grow considerably larger than a white bass and are more tolerant of Ohio’s warm water than striped bass.
Tips:
Use cast nets to catch gizzard shad for bait.
Hybrid striped bass hooking mortality increases greatly when water temperatures exceed 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Increase survival on released fish by landing fish quickly, reducing handling time, keeping fish in the water as hook is removed and cutting the line on deeply-hooked fish. Try using a circle hook if using live bait.
If you plan on keeping some hybrid stripers, place them on ice to maintain flavor and firmness of their flesh. Remove all the dark reddish meat from the centerline of the fillets to reduce the strong, fishy taste of larger fish.
Tackle:
A long bait-casting or spinning rod (6 to 8 feet) outfit with some flex (medium to medium-heavy action) helps absorb the shock of a hybrid’s hard, initial strike and keeps the hooks from pulling out of the fish’s mouth. Reels should be spooled with 10- to 14-pound abrasion-resistant monofilament. The heavier lines should be used for river hybrid striped bass. Be sure to have your fishing rod firmly in your hand or hooked into the boat.
Season:
Fall (mid-September-November)
Presentation:
Cast spoons into schools of bait fish, troll shad-type crankbaits, cast flashy metal lures onto flats, or bottom fish cut bait or chicken livers. As water cools, fish will move shallower.
Location:
Try creek mouths up to headwaters or lowhead dams, and below dams in tailwaters of lakes and rivers. Watch for fish breaking the surface chasing shad.
