The great trophy fishing anglers have been experiencing in
the East Delta for much of the summer, continued over the past
week, with bass up to and beyond 8 pounds showing in the catches.
A lot of the big fish were caught on frogs, but for anglers that
enjoy catching big numbers of average size fish, crankbaits were
the name of the game. |

Stripers are flowing into the West Delta and anglers are
experiencing good action while targeting them. Local experts
expect the striper action to get even more intense over the next
month as water temperatures drop down into the sixties. spring striper season is now a mere memory as the bulk of the
fish have long since relocated to San Francisco Bay. Yet there are
still catchable numbers of fish in the system and dedicated
anglers are occasionally hooking them.
Black bass are on a good topwater bite in the West Delta. When the
water is fairly calm Gurglers are scoring some fish.
