  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 ...
We were hit with a bad cold front about a week ago. That storm only produced about an inch of rain, which wasn't enough to muddy up anything (which is good). Right after that storm passed there was about three or four nights straight where the lows were in the 20's. 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 ...
Launched at Big Break Marina
Saturday morning before the sun came up at 6 am. I was with two other anglers. Both were experienced bass fisherman but neither have targeted striped bass out on the

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 ...
It’s 6:30 Thursday morning and
Tong, Tim and I launch out of Russo’s Marina. We make a 15-minute run south and fish the mouth of a dead
end slough near Orwood. The tide
had just peaked and started to push out.
Using a Shell Cracker on a tulle point, a nice bass swirled on the
swimbait, but missed it. As the
tide continued to push out, we moved into Rock Slough, but found no
action. Finally we caught a couple
on weighted senkos on the outside of Mandeville Island. Around 1pm ... Continue reading ...
