Sturgeon fishing

trying some different types of fishing lately, I've been a fly fisherman most of my life. Last year I bought another boat to do some steelhead fishing on the Snake River and decided to try to catch a sturgeon. I've seen plenty being caught I just don't know how.

I tried below LOWER GRANITE DAM yesterday and above the dam today in about 120 feet of water using squid. Yesterday I used herring. I know there are some huge catfish around the dam also. Any tips for sturgeon and big catfish? I caught catfish in Texas but never the 50 60 pounders around dams.

1. Catfish will eat just about anything. One popular bait is stinkbait. This

stuff is awful. Smells like the worst garbage dumpster behind the dirtiest, foulest restaurant you ever imagined. I highly recommend that you wear disposable gloves, maybe even two pair, and do not under any circumstances open the container in an enclosed area.

I had a woman come in the store and buy snacks. She was fishing with a commercial stinkbait. I had to wash the money before I put it in the cash register.

All that said, catfish love the stuff.
