Green Sturgeon
Eureka, California, provides access to prime Green Sturgeon fishing grounds in Humboldt Bay and the surrounding estuaries. These prehistoric fish thrive in the brackish waters, feeding on crustaceans and small fish. While sturgeon are present year-round, the fall and winter months are generally considered the best time to target them, as they often move into the bay to feed. A key local tip is to focus on areas with strong tidal flow. Sturgeon often congregate near channels and sloughs where food is concentrated. Popular baits include ghost shrimp, eel, and even salmon roe. Boat access is available at several marinas around Humboldt Bay, and there are also some shore fishing opportunities, particularly near the Samoa Bridge. Be aware that sturgeon fishing in California is highly regulated. Always check the current regulations for slot limits, closures, and report card requirements before fishing. Catch-and-release is common, so handle these magnificent fish with care.
