Sturgeon
Today my brothers Jim (MountainCaster) , Pat and I were scouting for bass on the BackBeach and found a sturgeon. In tough shape, but whole. About 5 1/2 feet long. Rich at Nelson's B&T was kind enough to download my camera's card. I can't do it on this machine and the other is a week away. He said he'd post them for us here.  Coolest thing I've found so far. Today also yeilded 2 shark vertabrate about 8 inches in diameter! Not whale, wasn't vascular enough. And two plugs. I love beachcombing!  |

Could they have been netted by mistake (died) and then release back out to the sea?
Never seen a Sturgeon here before ever.
I've seen them out on the Oregon coast area.
Pretty archiac looking - sort of like a dinosaur.

See them at the mouth of the CT river all the time. They tend to leap out of the water especially during spring.

Most of the rivers in New England have native sturgeon populations.

Thanks a ton, Rich.
MD2020, my first impression as I drove toward it was " WTH is an iguana doing out here?"
