Sunday Schoolies

Went on the hunt for some stripers in the East delta this weekend. We found some cleaner water with temps 55-57 degrees. Threw the big glides for a few followers and a few bumps. Finally gave in and downsized to a SP110 on the spinning rod. That was the ticket as we boated 8 fish Friday morning, 12 Friday evening and 20 Sunday morning. Nothing of size. Most were shakers to barely keepers, with a couple 3lb mixed in. I did break off one that was 5-10lb, I was using straight 10lb braid and got cut off when the fish rolled into the line.

Good times on the light gear! Next weekend I'll scout a little further west, to see if we can find better size. Looking forward to next month after the water clears and the giant females move in.

Thanks for the update! My boy is chomping at the bit to get after the stripers again.

Where does the east delta start and where does the west delta start? Is Stockton considered south delta?

I usually consider the Sac river and Sherman the West. And, the SJ river and anything east, East. Anything south of Franks, into Stockton would be South.
