Isleton Many anglers are seeing salmon daily. The salmon bite remains strong as the rain rolls through. The bite in the area continues to remain strong all week. Salmon anglers are seeing success, with Capt. Stan Spinners leading the way. Size is improving yet numbers are slower this week. Smallies are getting more attention now as 2 to 4 pound fish show more often now… Jigs and flukes are getting them!
Walnut Grove Continuing solid Salmon fishing even with weather rolling through. Stan Spinners and K-14 getting mentioned. Best area has been Courtland to Walnut grove. Few Stripes are in the area as anglers recover still around as temperatures return more seasonable in the Walnut Grove area as the trolling bite is OK mostly small fish.. Red Eye Shad and small shad patterned plastics are the top choices here as well. Small swimbaits are scoring Largemouth and Smallmouth in the Meadows.
Discovery Bay More Stripers now starting to group up in the Marina side. Hairs Jigs and Strike King RedEye Shad getting mentioned for the Stripes. Black Bass responding well to cooler evening temps have the bite on the upswing!. Cigar baitfish patterned baits and 6th Sense Poppers getting mentioned often. Jig bite on points is also good, the all new TNT Watermelon Candy is a great New Addition to the line check them out !
Frank’s Tract Stripers and bass abound. Walking baits are great topwater options while Bubba Shad and swim jigs get the mention. We found plenty of Stripers and Black Bass with Hair Jigs, Weedless Swimmers like the Havoc Sick Fish getting grabbed. Lot of Stripes on Old River Flats and in the Santa Clara Shoals.
West Delta Salmon success stories still abound. Slime Rockets best on the incoming tide with Mepp’s Flying C’s in Pittsburgh and Humphries areas. More Anglers in search of stripers are finding solid numbers of keeper stripers from both boat and bank. Most of the nice stripers coming soaking Shad. Antioch Pier scored stripers to47 inches this week. Shad is top offering. The West as in Honker Bay to the Broad Slough plug casting is getting fish when wind cooperates. Go On Top with Dan’s Delta Mizers, during the day go old school with Hair Jigs Like Dan’s Classic Shimmer jigs or Spro in open water White/Dark Green and White/Blue best this week . Bass Bite stays solid in the Break and surrounding cuts. Cranking Strike King Square bills in bait fish patterns and spinnerbaits is key.
