If you've ever spent a day chasing sturgeon, you know the deal. It's a massive grind that can leave you staring at a motionless rod tip for hours while you question your life choices. Honestly, the quickest way to skip the learning curve is to hop on a boat with guys who actually live this stuff. Ben and Shawn over at Reel Addiction Sportfishing are those guys. They have a knack for tracking these dinosaurs and finding the bite before anyone else even has their lines in the water.

Right now is basically the prime window to get out there if you want to learn from the best without breaking the bank. Starting this Saturday, February 28th, they're running scouting trips for the first eight days. The best part is that these seats are discounted, so you get the full experience and all that knowledge for a better price. It's a rare chance to see how the pros scout new water and set the pace for the rest of the year.

There's really no better way to experience the California outdoors than hooking into a prehistoric fish that weighs more than you do. Whether you're looking for a once in a lifetime fight or just want to sharpen your own skills, this is the time to make it happen. Grab a spot on the boat with Ben and Shawn before those eight days are gone. It beats sitting on the shore hoping for a miracle every single time.
