Hook-Line-and Sinker Team event out of Russo’s Sunday should be another great event, as the bite is tough and even playing field this week.

Bait fishing tactics from both boat and Bank Seminar November 17th. Come receive instruction From The Dan’s Delta Staff on the best striper bait fishing tactics and techniques.

Isleton   The salmon bite remains solid as cooler evening temps take hold. The bite in the area just solid all week.  Continuing to getting solid reports of success from  Salmon searching anglers with Spinners leading the way. Water temperatures have dropped with the cooler evenings. Many anglers to the west are seeing larger salmon daily… getting close.  Stan’s Spinners are the best bet for those who want to try.  

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. Continuing solid Salmon numbers with many decent Scores reported Spinners and K-14 getting mentioned. Best area has been Courtland to Walnut grove.   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    Found them! Stripers that had been starting to group up in the Marina side seem to have moved into the Kellogg creek side with vengeance.  They are also still in the area, the bait and stripes are in main river Holland riverside south to Italian Slough.  Hair Jigs and Strike King Bad To The Bone RedEye Shad getting bit. Black Bass cooler evening temps have water temperatures dropping  and the bite on upswing!. Small Double Buzz and Poppers getting mentioned often.

Frank’s Tract Stripers and bass bite both responded well to the cooler temperatures. It’s no secret what a little fall weather can do. Walking baits are great topwater options while small swim baits and swim jigs get the mention. We found plenty of Stripers and Black Bass with Hair Jigs, Weedless Swimmers like the BIG 6thSense Hollow Bodies getting grabbed. Lot of Stripers on Old River Flats.

West Delta   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 to 37 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 . Sturgeon quietly is slipping into the spotlight 219 fish registered in the Addithon Derby last week.. Eel is the best bait over all, but roe and shad also scoring diamondbacks Broad slough and surrounding cuts.
