How to Bank Fish Missouri River - Catfish, Carp, Sturgeon
When fishing the Missouri River, you never know what you may catch (carp, sturgeon, catfish, turtles, buffalo fish, gar). To optimize your odds of success, fish worm with a 2/0 circle hook on the bottom, using a 4oz to 8oz weight depending on the current. I recommend 20-30lb test line. I also always keep a line in the water with a cut bait or live bait on a 5/0 to 10/0 circle hook with 40+lb test line.
Best of luck fishing in 2020!

Watched your vid and fished the MO off a boat ramp near Orrick... caught two of those sturgeons I had never caught one before!

Nice catch!
I know exactly where this is. It’s about a mile from my house. I normally get there by boat. I’ve run sonar through that hole, it’s deep, like 40 feet. I like to fish back behind the deep hole there is a big tree pile on sonar. It’s always packed with fish and for some reason I also catch lots of sturgeon in this stretch of river.

try a float rig, maybe that would help
What part of Missouri are you fishing?
I wish those fellas knew how to hold a rod above the reel foot...
I'm right by the Missouri River here in Independence MO. but in my area there is cliffs and steep Rocky hills that are kinda dangerous. That looks like a nice spot, anywhere near me?

Ever find the spit
Is that sibley power plant?
How deep is that water and why is the sinker so large
You sure you arent catching a bunch of little planter pallid sturgeon?
I didn’t know we had sturgeon in Missouri! Where was this at? Update: Parkville, got it. Drive through there all the time.

My friend caught a 58 lb blue in the Missouri River on 12 lb test just north of Kansas City. It’s doable but if you fish near snags(you should) you want 80 lb mono or 100 lb braid and 60-80 lb abrasion resistant fluorocarbon leader. 10+ years catfishing on the Missouri River and other Missouri rivers.

jacob carolan I’m thinking of putting some bank poles out but I don’t have a boat I’m a bank fisher. Do you have any tips on where to put them from your experience? I’m wanting cats but I feel I can’t be too picky on my location since I’m on foot.
