Hey guys, taking my wife out for sturgeon tomorrow and looking for some tips. We used to plunk for catfish all the time on the Potomac before moving here, but don't have any experience with sturgeon. We have a couple of 10-foot spinning rods loaded with 30 lb test, pyramid and egg sinkers ranging from 2-10 oz, barbless 4/0 and 5/0 octopus hooks, and some pickled herring & squid. Any tips on how to rig up for the best chance of success? Any input on what the bite feels like would also be appreciated. Are they going to take off with it, or just nibble around waiting for a hook set? Also, what size fish are we talking about here? We'll most likely fish from Mary Young down in West Linn. Thanks in advance for any advice!
