I'm thinking of trying out sturgeon fishing since steelheading is so slow. I need some advice on terminal tackle.

I understand that mostly shakers are being caught, which is okay with me. I'll probably fish down by Trojan Power Plant. So what size line, hooks, weight will I need? My partner's got a bunch of frozen smelt left over from last year, will this be okay for bait?

Thanks for any info you're willing to share.
