Sturgeon Fever is a fisherman`s tale where Mike Stone is a thirty-something year old union pipefitter and Sturgeon fishing guide who is just getting by. He is a rough around the edges kind of guy who rolls with the punches, a fighter and a lover who enjoys being single and playing the field. He loves working on his 1970 El Camino and his vintage 76 F.L.H., Harley Davidson motorcycle. Mike lives in a rented cabin on a vacant estate with his beloved dog, Apollo, in the foothills of Martinez, overlooking three oil refineries, the historical Mothball Fleet and the Glomar Explorer. He feels most at home on the water in his boat 'The Sturgeon General'. Times are a little slow and money is tight but life in general is going along just the way he wants it, when his high school sweetheart appears out of nowhere. That`s when the trouble begins, as Olivia West is running for her life from Stone`s lifetime rival, Eric Zachary, aka E.Z. Eric is a hardcore gangster who mysteriously inherited his family business, an industrial shop on the shore next to the Mothball Fleet. Mike manages to out fox Eric once again and now the hunted becomes the hunter. The thought returns, 'What have I gotten myself into this time?'
