One last word from me
You asked how long to sit there?
Now you can be a lazy stick in the mud and wait for a sturgeon to swim up river and find your bait for 2-3 hours or you can move! When I fish a hole I like to get the rods out there staggered out there and leave them out there for about 15-20 mins...this time of year I'd wait about 25-30...this gives enough time for the sturgeon to smell and locate your bait....if they're full they will sit over it...so when you go to reel in make it like your going to hook one RIP UP and reel...sometimes you might get one this way..I know I have....now move down 50-100yds re-bait, and flick er out there....I be you could cover your whole "spot" in less than 4 hours!
Now when you go to hook it.....don't rip on the rod right away...point it at the fish...wait for a small or hard tug..and SPIKE!!!!! YOUR ON BUDDY!!!!! sorry I just get so excited thinking of this
Might take a few times before you get one though...it all comes with time an knowledge
