<p>Sturgeon are ancient, powerful fish prized for their size and fight. Many anglers target them for epic battles and careful catch and release. They grow large, live long, and test both skill and stamina.</p><p>Most Sturgeon fishing uses bottom fishing in big rivers and estuaries. Anglers anchor or drift and present natural baits near the bottom. Common baits include lamprey, herring, shrimp, salmon roe, and nightcrawlers. Use heavy rods, strong line, and a tough leader, the short line by the hook. Circle or barbless hooks help solid hookups and easier releases.</p><p>Expect patient fishing with sudden, long runs and deep, steady pulls. Fights can last a while, so bring stamina and listen to your guide. This trip suits beginners who want coaching and seasoned anglers chasing a trophy. Dress in layers, wear non-slip boots, and pack sun protection and a camera. Tides and current often set the bite, so timing matters.</p><p>Regulations for Sturgeon vary by region and can change often. Many waters require licenses, special tags, seasons, or catch-and-release only. Some areas also require barbless hooks and quick, in-water handling. Always check official local rules before your trip, and follow safe handling.</p>

<blockquote>
	<p>
		<em>Sturgeon are the oldest living bony fish on Earth, with the longevity of their existence estimated at between 208 and 245 million years. These dinosaur fish are extensively (mostly unlawfully) fished for their yield of roe, from which the only true caviar is produced.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>
	There are about 25 classified species of Sturgeon, some of which might be extinct. They mostly inhabit cold river deltas and estuaries worldwide, venturing upstream for spawning purposes, with some species adapted exclusively to fresh water conditions and others to coastal and open oceanic waters.</p>
<p>
	Plagued with slow growth and hindered reproduction due to roe harvest, about 85% of species of Sturgeon are critically endangered, making this family the <a href='http://www.iucn.org/?4928'>most extinction-prone out of all fish</a>.</p>
<h2>
	How big</h2>
<p>
	Sturgeon are true aquatic giants, with several species growing to between 7 and 12ft and anywhere from 180 to 800lbs on average, depending on the species. The largest Lake Sturgeon was caught over 7.3ft and 240lbs,&nbsp;the largest White Sturgeon was 1,799lbs and 20ft, while the largest ever fish caught (in the world) was a Beluga Sturgeon - a mythical 3,463lbs heavy and 24ft long. A good tool that can give you an idea of the length/weight ratio can be found <a href='http://www.how-to-fish.com/sturgeon_weight_chart.htm'>here</a>.</p>
<p>
	These fish can live over a century and take 15 to 20 years to mature.</p>
<h2>
	Where &amp; When</h2>
<p>
	Different species of Sturgeon can be found worldwide in subtropical and subpolar rivers, lakes and coastlines.</p>
<p>
	In North America,&nbsp;Sturgeon can be found along the <u><em>Pacific coast</em></u> from <strong>California to Alaska </strong>(White -&nbsp;<em>Acipenser transmontanus</em>), in the <strong>Mississippi River</strong> and the <strong>Great Lakes </strong>(Lake -&nbsp;<em>Acipenser fulvescens</em>), and along the <u><em>Atlantic coast</em></u> from the <strong>Gulf of Mexico to Newfoundland</strong> (Atlantic -&nbsp;<em>Acipenser oxyrinchus</em>).</p>
<p>
	The European Sea Sturgeon (<em>Acipenser sturio</em>)&nbsp;can be found <strong>along the Atlantic coast of Europe</strong>, in the <strong>Mediterranean basin</strong>, particularly in the <strong>Adriatic Sea</strong> and <strong>northern Italian rivers</strong>, and Beluga (<em>Huso huso</em>) inhabits rivers going into the&nbsp;<strong>Black</strong>, <strong>Azov</strong>, and <strong>Caspian Seas</strong>, the <strong>Arctic Ocean</strong>, <strong>central Asian rivers </strong>and <strong>Lake Baikal</strong>.</p>
<p>
	Warmer weather marks the spawning season, so <em>July through August</em> are usually the most productive. During low tides, Sturgeon will be in deeper water and high tides may bring them close enough to shore to be caught in 4 to 6ft of depth.</p>
<p>
	<img alt='Four people holding a big Sturgeon while standing in the water next to a boat' src='https://fishingbooker.com/img/fish/content/6b900-54768c9d0ff1f861f4a26277b2197f16--2-.jpg' /></p>
<h2>
	How to catch</h2>
<p>
	Not much to say about the fishing technique needed to catch Sturgeon, except - bring your heaviest artillery, as the pull of these fish has been compared to a cross between Marlin and a freight train.</p>
<p>
	6-9ft single piece rod, 250yds of&nbsp;at least&nbsp;80lbs test line,&nbsp;5/0 to 9/0 barbless hook baited with&nbsp;crawfish, clams, salmon eggs, shad or other small fish. If fresh bait isn't available, you can use any fish oil to add scent to your bait for better results.</p>
<h2>
	Good to eat?</h2>
<p>
	Mostly valued for the roe&nbsp;yield (Beluga caviar is a luxurious eating item appreciated worldwide), but the meat is delicious as well. Jewish laws forbid the consumption of Sturgeon and in England and Wales the fish is considered royal and, therefore, the property of&nbsp;the Crown.</p>

Sturgeon fishing in Sacramento, CA - FishingBooker

Sacramento

Sacramento, United States

sacramento

<p>Sacramento is a premier fishing destination in Northern California, renowned for its diverse waterways and abundant freshwater species. The region boasts two major rivers—the American and Sacramento—alongside productive lakes like Folsom and Amador, creating a haven for anglers of all experience levels. These fertile waters support trophy-sized Striped Bass, Sturgeon, King Salmon, Steelhead, and multiple Bass varieties, including Largemouth and Smallmouth.</p>  

<p>The nearby California Delta, one of America's top fishing destinations, expands opportunities with nearly 1,000 miles of interconnected channels. Its labyrinthine waterways like Franks Tract, Big Break, and Little Mandeville Island offer exceptional angling for Sturgeon, Catfish, and record-breaking Bass. Professional guides leverage local expertise to navigate these ecosystems, tailoring trips to target specific species or mixed catches through half-day or full-day excursions.</p>  

<p>From Delta marshlands to river bends near Rio Vista, every expedition delivers scenic beauty alongside thrilling catches. Charters provide all necessary equipment and insider knowledge, ensuring memorable experiences whether targeting migratory Salmon runs or battling hard-fighting Sturgeon. Family-friendly trips and specialized adventures—like winter Steelhead pursuits—cater to varied interests while showcasing Sacramento’s year-round angling appeal.</p>

<p>
	Striper fishing gets kicked into high gear. You can expect to hook a few 3–5 pounders on shorter trips. On longer trips, you might get lucky and pull out a Striper in the 20–40 lb range. Patience is key!</p>


<p>
	August is a fantastic time to hit the Sacramento River. You can expect to target King Salmon, Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout.</p>


<p>
	Salmon season is coming to an end, so be sure to get that last run in before it's too late! Lake and Brown Trout are still taking the bait as well.</p>


<p>
	February is a good month for fly fishing. You can still target lots of Steelhead and Rainbow Trout on the Sacramento and American Rivers. Sturgeon fishing is also excellent in February.</p>


<p>
	Just because the weather is cold doesn't mean the fishing ain't hot! You'll find pretty good catch-and-release action on the upper Sacramento River. Choose a fly fishing guide to take you nymphing for Steelhead and Rainbow Trout.</p>


<p>
	It's finally time to go after one of those famous Sacramento Kings! Salmon fishing usually kicks off in July but pay attention to local laws and regulations as they may change from year to year.</p>


<p>
	As summer approaches, anglers from all over the state come to the Sacramento area to drop a few lines. Striped Bass, Sturgeon, Catfish, Trout, and Shad are some of your likely catches this month.</p>


<p>
	In March, you can expect great Sturgeon and Trout fishing. Some other solid targets this month include Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, especially on Folsom Lake and Lake Amador.</p>


<p>
	In May, you can expect to target a wide variety of fish, including Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Striped Bass, as well as Sturgeon, Catfish, and Shad.</p>


<p>
	This a good time to target Lake and Brown Trout on one of Sac-Town's surrounding lakes. King Salmon fishing is also still solid throughout November.</p>


<p>
	There are some great opportunities in Southside Park, Folsom Lake, and Lake Amador if you're looking to target Spotted, Largemouth, and Smallmouth Bass. You can also expect to target Rainbow and Brown Trout, as well as Catfish.</p>


<p>
	Salmon fishing remains hot throughout the fall. September is a good time to catch Kings in the 30–70 lb range, so bring some extra elbow grease and a positive attitude, and you're all set!</p>


<p>
	Sacramento is a fishing haven for California's freshwater anglers. With two major rivers and several lakes to cast a line in, it's no wonder why. If you're planning to go fishing in Sacramento, pick a guide that will take you to some of the best spots around the city and get ready for a fun adventure!</p>
<p>
	Sacramento has lots of fishable areas that host a wide variety of freshwater fish.  Head to the American or Sacramento River and go after Steelhead, Striped Bass, American Shad, Sturgeon, and King Salmon.</p>
<p>
	Lake Amador and Folsom Lake are also great fishing spots right outside of the city. Both of them boast healthy populations of Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, Sunfish, Perch, Trout, Catfish, and Crayfish.</p>
<p>
	The best part about fishing in Sacramento is that there are a host of guides and trip options to choose from. You can choose between a half day or a full day trip, depending on how far you'd like to go.
