Hello,
I never tried sturgeon and want to have some good time ... catch and release.
I'm targeting San Francisco bay and I was wondering if your guys have any tips or suggestion as what to use/how/where.

I appreciate your tips:)
Cheers,

If you want to have a good time fishing then sturgeon is not it!  :smt005 


If you do go make sure you are prepared for the Bay with the proper setup and anchoring system.

Why?!

Boring for most of the time not to mention cold,,,,,,,,but when you do finally hook a nice one it all seems worth it.  They're big powerful fish so remember safety first,

Sturgeon are a great fish to catch and it takes awhile to learn to catch them with any consistancy . I think you should do your learning in a boat and once skilled try from a kayak , especially if you are a newb to kayacking as I am . All areas that you would fish sturgeon have very strong currents and you will need to be proficient at anchoring , too scary for me to do yet or maybe ever , since I have other options .
