sturgeon bait?

[walleye_guy18]

I just got back out to school in Wisconsin(Eau Claire) and found out that the sturgeon fishing season has just opened. I don't plan on keeping one or anything, but it would still be cool to target them for the month or so that the season is open. I'm not really sure if there is a "go to" bait for sturgeon but if there is, what do you guys catch them on? Last spring I caught quite a few sturgeon while I was fishing for walleyes with fatheads but we never really caught any huge ones(our biggest was only 45in)

Anyways, just curious to see what everyone is using for bait.

Crawlers is all ya will need.

Walleye guy, make sure you pick up a sturgeon tag, I believe there still free. Then find out what lakes you can legally fish for them. A couple of good baits is 3 big crawlers and 3 or 4 fatheads all on a big hook. Also, good sized crushed sucker minnows work well. I've heard of guys using chicken livers in netting. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
