    Does anyone on the board fish the early spring season for Sturgeon? I’d like to put doing this on my life list. Will I need a tin boat or could I use my Ranger?

    I fish out of a 620, in the bay out to the Gap, and certain sections of the river. You will be fine in glass.

    You will be just fine with a big rig. Keep an eye out for floating debris because the river is usually peaking during the sturgeon fishing. It’s a blast and wouldn’t miss it for anything!

    Don’t worry about the boat, worry more about the gear. I have broke heavy duty rods and been spooled with 50lb braid. There are some hogs in that river!!!
