Wednesday, Nov 29 2023
Striped bass are flooding into the Sacramento and San Joaquin River, and bait fishing, trolling, and plug casting are all working for quality linesides. The majority of stripers are holding from Rio Vista west toward Collinsville, and once the water cools, the linesides will be moving further into the Delta and up the river arms. The striped bass have also poured into the San Joaquin River as far south as Discovery Bay, and December has been prime time for striped bass inside of Discovery Bay as the shad move there to find slightly warmer water. Alan Fong of Alan Fong Outdoors was out this week before the wind came up over the weekend, and they caught and released over 50 striped bass using 5-inch swimbaits or Blade Runner spoons. Sturgeon fishing remains outstanding, and the only limiting factor has been the wind, particularly on the outgoing tide. In spite of the emergency white sturgeon regulations, anglers still want to fight a sturgeon.
