Sturgeon Patrol

Chad Leanna and myself are scheduled to go on sturgeon patrol this wednesday night starting at 7:00 pm and will be stationed at a well known sturgeon viewing position along the river all night until 7:00 am. Our duties are to ensure the safety of the sturgeon from anglers or poachers who attempt to harm them during their run up the river to spawn. We are instructed to be at the sturgeon camp by 6:30 pm in order to receive a breifing on our jobs and locations. It should be an interesting night. I have seen sturgeon before but never in large numbers or of any size so this will be a new opportunity for Chad and I. It should make for a long night though and an extremely long day on thursday considering we will not be getting any sleep. The Sturgeon project will be providing all the tools we will need throughout the night including a cell phone to call in any suspicious activity involving the sturgeon. They also provide us with a supper apon arrival, a midnight snack if we so choose and a breakfast after we are releived at 7:00 am. We were also instructed to bring a camera, flashlight and reading materiel or something to keep us busy because they suspect that there will not be much activity in the form of poachers or tourists in the wee hours of the morning. It should be fun and i am excited.
