Delta Sturgeon Action Picking Up Out of Pittsburg

Imagine hooking a sturgeon out in the Delta and feeling that first heavy pull that bends your rod clean over. It's the kind of moment that sticks with you, especially when the fish powers through those tidal channels and tests every bit of your setup.

The crew on Reel Addiction 2 with Capt Shawn Taylor scouted the spot yesterday and boated seven of them, including a pair of real big ones that showed why these fish earn their reputation. The Delta's muddy waters and levee banks create the perfect hideouts right now, keeping the action steady into late March.
