hi boys no not to riggy keep it simple to start with blow back ds the like. like all carp they can go sly and these are big ole wise lumps i got turned over couple times on semi fixed went on hermit rig slack lines problem solved.start with hand full freebes scattered on each rod dont be tempted to pile bait in.they are wise to tight baiting.Any way the sturgeon will just come along and scoop the lot up in seconds if you get hold of the big one good luck we had it on for an hour and only got a look at its tail.bait as per action.if you get them going up pace but make em look for it.we found gullies and 2/3 way down drop offs best during day top of bars at night.tree lines good from 6/7 as always. island and hump from 8. see sam when you arive( good advice) hope this helps tight lines have great trip
