Nice video. I think a basic video like this is good. Some people might add somethings but this is a great starting point.

[@FishingWebers]

Thanks for the tips and demonstration. We'll have to try this out.

Great video! A lot of the “pros” could learn from you on how to film a tutorial video. I loved the way you laid everything out on your workbench so we could actually see your rigging. I hate it when you have a dude in a boat rocking back and forth trying to show how he rigs his line. It’s hard to see and it’s normally windy as well. Thanks for sharing!

Jon Pennington thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!! I’m glad you liked the way I set it up

[@jesschase114]

Good setup however if you use roe make sure you use a size 4 hook.

[@wesleyshafer6310]

Same set up I use for striped bass

[@idahofishgamer3560]

I feel so silly if you knew how I have been doing it 🤪

Where do you usually fish for sturgeon?

[@NWF18]

Zach Howell Swan Island in Portland.

[@zachhowell8205]

Is there a dock there that many people fish off of?

[@NWF18]

Nope it's all industrial stuff back there. You need a boat

[@zachhowell8205]

Okay, thanks!!

[@NWF18]

Did the video help you out?

[@wickedoutdooradventures6694]

Thanks for sharing....I just subscribed to your channel and trying to learn how to catch sturgeon in my lake...Any tips?

[@NWF18]

River Monsters & Demon Dragons where do you live?

[@wickedoutdooradventures6694]

Tennessee - I see huge sturgeon while I'm catfishing but never hook up on any...I drift fish and bottom fish with cut bait?

[@NWF18]

River Monsters & Demon Dragons Yeah just used the rig I use. Full fish with half hitched up the body with some send injected under the gill plates and cut a few hole in fish for oils to release in water. And just wait basically. Kinda like catfishing

[@wickedoutdooradventures6694]

nightcrawlers better bait than cut bait?

[@NWF18]

River Monsters & Demon Dragons honestly anything could work thats natural. So worms, sand shrimps , cut bait, whole bait fish, squid all that

[@BrotherTay]

Why does every fishing guy wear a face mask makes no sense i bet this dude wears gloves too
