Rio Vista Fishing Report

Solid,The best place to score a striped bass or sturgeon remains below Decker Island in the area of the Power Lines at Light 14 and the Red Barn, where boaters anchor and use threadfin shad or Red’s Bloody Eel. Small stripes and occasionally, a 10-pounder is caught. Eel continues to lead the way for sturgeon anglers in front of Collinsville. Rio Vista Pier also is scoring both species.

Walnut Grove Fishing Report

Tough yet,  Most are sturgeon fishing  now with eel and cured ghost shrimp. Slow for the minnow drifting anglers, but striper gurus reminded me this week how many fish will used the bypasses and high water to move quickly to the upper reaches of the system. Bank anglers tossing shad and eel prevail for an occasional sturgeon or Striper those looking for bigger bites. 

Discovery Bay Fishing Report

As water temps warm into the fifties the black bass bite is SLOWLY getting started! Most Blackie anglers are sticking with jigs and slow rolling blades searching ledges near flats. Others looking to beat the clear conditions are rippin’ Strike King KVD300’s and A-rigs. Keeper sized stripes are grabbing A-rigs and Rip Baits bit more this week ..

Frank’s Tract Fishing Report

The Dirty D is living up to it’s lovely nick as the dirty water dominates the scene. Storms are winding down in intensity and a solid sunny pattern ahead willhave the bite turning on rapidly Very Soon, It’s no secret what a little warmer water can do.  Ripbaits are great options while Wadda Jigs and swim jigs get the mention as well.
