Hit the fog out west but caught a few. 13 fish landed and several more lost at the boat and 1 break off. biggest fish caught was 5lbs, most in the 2-4 pound range. Just tossin swimbaits in the flats a lot of fun and no need to burn a lot of gas. On the water at 7:30 off by 2:00. Fish here, fish there tide did not seem to matter. Only 1 place produced more than 1 fish. 1 4lb squawfish as well.

Good report. I went out above rio vista and it was dead yesterday but I heard it was the same as your report around the first. A few fish hanging on still.

Marked alot of stripers yesterday in Hog sl. suspended around 10'-12' in 15 to 18' feet of water 20' off the rocks. I packed very light and only had a Jig rod, Rip bait and a DS rod with some spare baits in my pocket.

BrothA Todd Dunlapp caught the lone LM @ 3-4' of water on a swimming jig down past some pump outlets in the muddy water we fished on the way back down the moke.


I never got a nibble on the jig/pork, rip and DS up there. But got two 2.5 -3 pounders on the jig in tidal eddy pockets from Jersey near the bottom of the low tide in tulie clumlps on rocks - and marked alot of suspended fish at the drop-offs.

Never marked any bait balls at all yesterday...... Even around Jersey.

Fished WAY out west near Pittsburg on Sunday. Soaked some anchovies and not one nibble. Started jigging with a spoon and landed 4 legals within an hour. Go figure.. I didn't think stripers were that picky.

Dan,

Sorry I did not say that the fish were stripers. I did not catch a single LMB. We ripped for about 30 minutes but just did not feel like buckling down for the LMBs. Sorry for not being specific.

Crawdaddy, What part of the delta did you find them in?

Hitman,

They were around Sherman Lake, Big Break and Little Break.
