Welcome to the Family,
I swear, The folks here can help you catch Sturgeon,
Great White Sturgeon hear are Generally like your guys sturgeon but Bigger,
Way Bigger
Im 12 and my PB is 80"
Some people catch 12' 15'ers out in the Colombia
You fish for them with a Sliding Rig, And Right now Shad is the best Bait, (I think)
But best bait Year round is Squid and Sandshrimp.
I have heard of Guys That used Worms for Bait But I dont cause I might catch Suckerfish or Pikeminnow or something that arent Sturgeon.
But the Best fishing is in the Colombia and Willamette Rivers,
ANy more Questions just PM Me,
