Thanks again for your encouragement I find a lot of negativity on this forum sometimes but clearly none on this thread !!  |
You don't necessarily need them too big...my largest sturgeon was caught on a #4 hook with half a minnow for bait. I think scent is going to be the biggest factor...make 'em stink and you should be good
