Sturgeon retention opening for 1 more day

If the sturgeon fishing is anything like last October, it is going to be an absolute massacre.

I am down for it.  I can help show people the ropes as well.  I can let someone hook up to me too if they don't have an anchor system and don't want to buy one for a 1 day season.  It would be BYOB, though.

This sounds great...I'd like to get in on it. I have an anchore setup and don't mind if someone needs a hook up.

There may be something in the works.  I will let you know next week.

I may have to buy my tags. What size pole do you use on the kayak as my 12' pole might be too long.

7-8 foot with a sensitive tip works good. My favorite sturgeon rod is my saltwater jigging rod, it's got a good sensitive tip and a solid backbone. You'll want to be able to drop 4-6 ozs, maybe 8 if the current is really ripping.

would you use a 3-way or slide for the weight?

I like using a slider. I feel it lets me slip the bait out a little bit at a time while it's on the bottom.

Yup, sliding plus a bead chain leading to a sturgeon leader. 90-120 lb Dacron with a single barbless hook. Silly string helps keep your bait on too.

I have a rod you can borrow.  It needs a bait casting reel. It is the average ugly stik sturgeon rod.

This?

Did you really just post a picture of my secret bait?

Silly, stretchy, same thing

Do you think my tiger stick is too much?

Nope, that is about perfect.

Sweet! ill go get my tags and some weights

I would get some 8-12 oz pyramids.  They don't roll around on the bottom and tangle your gear as much as the round ones.
