  Good day on the Delta for stripers. 20 fish mostly 3-5 pounders, but one that went 15 pounds, caught on a Lunker Punker. Ripbaits and hair jigs also worked well. Big Break, Sherman Island, and San Juaquin River all produced fish. Continue reading ...
 Launched out of San Rafael with my buddy Steve and his new 13' Whaler. Weather was hot with a light breeze at times. Started off with a low tide at sunrise. Had a 8-10 pounder hit a topwater five times but didn't hook up. Switched to hair jigs and fish traps and caught 15 or so fish, 6 or 7 keeper sized (18"). Steve caught the largest, around 6 pounds. Stayed close by and fished the Marin Islands, Brickyard, Sisters Islands, and China Camp. Continue reading ...

I'm sure at that point all the fish (stripers, largemouth, and baitfish) were all in a state of shock. NOBODY, was on the water those few days, but I'm sure it would have been tough out there. Thursday night some cloud cover ... Continue reading ...

California Delta. Just as the sun
was coming up the tide turned and started rising. We exited the marina and immediately started seeing smaller
sized stripers busting smelt on the surface. Throwing topwater lures by the boils, we each caught a few
3-7 pounders. Poppers, Vixens, and
Lunker P... Continue reading ...
