Rigging for Sturgeon

This is how I fish for sturgeon. I run the same setups from the bank as I do from the boat. I might run a splitter instead of a slip weight from the bank, but that's just a minor detail

Similar to what I learned and use. I would think with the braided leader you would be losing all your bait every hookset. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Nice informative video. Now i just need a place to go fishing for sturgeon.

One thing that I didn't like was that I really couldn't see how you put the hook through the head of the herring. I dont' know if it's my monitors fault or the background of the video.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice video! Thank you for providing this. Running water in the background was a good touch, though it makes me feel like I need to pee!

BOING!!
I thought this would be a timely thread to look at again.

Thanks for the bump! I'm on the water now fishing this setup.

I fished almost this exact setup today with good success, it's pretty much the only rig I use!
