Sturgeon anglers are heading to 41, Cache Slough areas with roe and eel reporting success. Cooling water have slowed the stripers in the Cache Slough area. Spoons and hair Jigs have become favorite tools of lure tossers in the area. Many guides are drifting minnows in the area.
Rio Vista Fishing Report
The best place to score a striped bass or sturgeon seems to be 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 sardine filets. Small stripes and occasionally, a 10-pounder is caught. Eel/crawler combos continues to lead the way for sturgeon anglers in front of Collinsville

Slow for the trolling anglers, but stripers cracking the 15 pound plus keeps anglers hopes up. Drifting live baits are the top choices here as well, there seems to bit more call for chartreuse patterns here. Bank anglers tossing shad and eel prevail for an occasional Sturgeon or Striper those looking for fun.
Discovery Bay Fishing Report
Black bass bite improved a bit as water temps stabilize in the fifties. Most Blackie anglers are sticking with rip baits and a-rigs searching ledges near flats om he Indian creek Side Others looking to beat the cool conditions are drop shotting 6 and 7 inch worms. Nice sized stripes are grabbing Bad Bubba Shad . There seems to be a run on Crappie Jigs. This would indicate a crappie bite but no ones talking.
Frank’s Tract Fishing Report
Black bass bite both OK but ya gotta Slow down with the weather rolling through more consistently. It’s no secret what staying in the 12-15 foot depth can produce. Kriet Kreratures are great options while FatSack Jigs and swim jigs get the mention as well. We found a few of Stripers and Black Bass with Hair Jigs, Swim Baits, like the Optimum Diamond Shad getting grabbed. Lot of Stripers in main River and Mildred areas.

Trout fishing has been good. They have been biting at the East Side, North side of lake or from a boat with nightcrawlers, Zekes, or Marshallows Another 1000 pounds of plants helps spur the bite along.
