Neat. That is certainly worth the $25 admission fee.

Sturgeon are fun, in really cold winters where the Hudson River freezes over you could catch monster sturgeon in some of the deeper coves. But the largest fish caught through the ice are Greenland Sharks. You can enter contests in southern Greenland to fish for them or in sections of the St. Lawrence River that freeze thick enough. Or you can answer a crew call with an Eskimo team.

Of course, if heading into the Artic is too far of a trip just hit a Ct. River cove and fish for Bull Shark. Bull Sharks head up-stream into fresh water with ease and we all are familiar with the Bull Sharks of Minnesota found in the Mississippi drainage, right? If not, take a look.

The Greenland shark trip is on my bucket list.

They use seal meat for bait and take dog sleds to the fishing grounds.

I've been meaning to do that as well Mitch, but I was going to hijack the seals and dogs and eat them, vac pack some for future meals, and open up an on ice seal & dog stand for Breakfast/"Bark"fest, Lunch & Dinner. wink2

Don't set such lofty goals. Start with coming to the Game Dinner.

I really miss the game dinner, some of the best fish and game recipes I have ever had. Best deal down in Florida is my ShrimpFishFlorida website picnics with all of the fried flounder, fried shrimp and shrimp cocktail you can eat plus all of the salad and appetizer "fixins" you can imagine.

They don't have one planned yet. Last one was the day I arrived so i missed it. Same kind of guys go to the one down here similar to the game dinner back home. Other than the accents you would not know the difference. There are some former CTF guys on the site down here and live in NSB.
