7/7/2009 3:35:00 PMHey Rippin This eightballsaul. I've been Sturgeon fishing for only a couple of years and I am still learning the areas to go. Thanks for the tip. I have not fished for oversized fish yet but have been wanting to try it. Do you need any special tackle other than larger hooks and line? I have all of my standard sturgeon tackle already. Thanks again.

7/8/2009 9:17:00 AMNothing real special, I probably use smaller than most. I am set up with a 7'6" heavy rod, with 400 series reels, with 85lb power-pro main line and 200 lb power pro leader. We generally use 6-12 oz cannon ball weights from the boat. Hook size can vary from 9/0-12/0 depends on the bait i am using. If i am going to fish deeper water than 30' i will go to a reel that can handle more line. That is about it. Good luck!!!
