When fishing at Poplar Bar in Glenn Valley last week with my 4 y/o, there was a couple slaying Sturgeons. I didn't get a chance to ask what their set up and bait was. I have been told just to load a big hook with worms and plunk it with heavy line. Any tricks? Do they like a dead Pea Mouth Chub???

Eulechon, roe, lamprey eel, pike minnow, worms, salmon parts. These are the most common baits.

lamprey if you can find it. Seems to be best for me

Cool thanks guys! I will keep my eyes out for euchalon & lampray at the local bait shops.

Most tackle stores will carry them BUT the Lamprey will run you about 15$ per eel.
