Sturgeon made up for them. 10 - 12 in all between 1 m and 2 m in =
length.=20
A 2 m sturgeon is an impressive fish. I always wondered when I saw them =
jump=20
if they were really sturgeon - now I know for sure. Very interesting.=20
There was a lot of smaller fish, Shad, Gaspereaux, Herring, Mackerel, =
Tommy Cods=20
Smelts and silversides. On the flat side there was Flounders and Skates. =
Small squid were plentiful, about the size of my finger or a little =
bigger with big eyes.=20
I was told there was quite a few big ones earlier but none just now.=20
For birds there was a good flock of gulls, Eagles and Herons. I didn't =
review=20
the birds for species. They were waiting til we left then the feast =
would start!=20
