If your not getting sturgeon bites within at least half and hour move. Move as much as possible until you catch fish.
Have enough bait, fresh bait and several kinds of bait in your boat. Bait fish for deep water, shrimp and anchovies for shallow.
If sculpins are bad wrap your bait with elastic thread, if they are worse wrap it with spawn sack cloth too, if they are even worse, move. Usually if there are sturgeon in the area the sculpins aren't too bad.
Lastly, go by the 1st or it will be closed!
