Fishing Report Sacramento Delta Stripers
Spring Sacramento Area Striper Fishing Map see Public Lands Maps and Hunting, Ranches Clubs
Dealing with the wind but still anglers are finding stripers in shallow waters. Lots of success with Angry Eye’s, and broken back Rebels all working well.
Our fishing report says Steamboat area, Clyde Shoals shallows, West Bank and the Dairy are the hot spots.
Delta Fishing Report and fishing tips:
Spring striped bass have begun heading up the Sacramento River’s Lower Delta, and soon anglers start catching some in the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers! Schoolie striped bass , 4 to 6 pounders are now in the bays, currently in Suisun, Honker and Grizzly our fish report staff has said.
Mid- March is when adults head into the
Delta, where you fish on their
way to their spawning grounds in the
Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers.
Stripers lay their eggs in these
rivers in May and then head for
the saltwater.
Best time to catch striped
bass in the Delta and Delta rivers? Is therefore
from March through May .
The spring run gets striped bass anglers excited because water warms up and fishing conditions are a lot more
favorable, water temperatures rise above 50 degrees and schoolie- sized fish are being caught now.
Striped bass in California complete their spawning runs where they don’t need gravel.
In fact, they just eject their eggs and
milt into the open water. If there is one consistency at all to it, it’s that a
good portion of the fish move en mass,
and that’s when the fishing is at it’s
best.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Our fish report staff conclude they show in three
areas. On the Napa River, the San Joaquin and
Sacramento Rivers, and from the Sacramento on into the Feather and American rivers
For now concentration of the lower Sacramento River,
Montezuma Slough, in front of Decker Island in front of Rio Vista, the channel
in front of Sherman Lake and Sherman itself, towards the end of Steamboat
Slough, up to Cache Slough, and into the lower part of Lindsay Slough.
low flow rates down the Sacramento River will play a role in
this year’s spring fishery. Lower water
does mean they won‘t go as far up the
river systems, so the upward range at around Meridian this yea is probable.
With any luck that
higher flows could get them back up into
the Colusa area, but at the 2,500 cfs
range would keep them below Knights
Landing.
Spawn behavior that
includes schooling, aggressive feeding and territorial attitudes. Rebels
with jigs on spreaders, use
silver plugs alone or live bait.
On the Napa River the PGE tower and down around the Maritime
Academy,.
Going up the Sacramento River in the Clarksburg and Freeport areas and up
through Sacramento with action on the
Capitol Street Bridge, the Rice Mill, the yellow weir, and Marker 6.
San Joaquin River should see early action up at Buoy 25 off the mouth of the False
River and into the False itself, at the San Andreas Shoal and around the corner up the North
Mokelumnie River, off the mouth of Potato Slough, and finally the Medford Island area
and on up to Stockton.
Whew! What a great fishery!
Whew! What a great fishery!
In the Feather River, action is already starting from
Shanghai Bend down to Verona at the
mouth
In the American,
action is more confined down around the
mouth. And that’s also a good area for bank anglers. There are two major ways to go after them,
either troll or drift. Drifters use anchovies,
shiners or mudsuckers, or shrimp.
