Stripers Migration - Where & When Do They Come (CA Delta)?

- Where do the stripers go? In the California Delta the striped bass make it their home in the fall thru winter. Watch this video and learn the migration of the stripers. I’ve been following these fish all my life as I have caught them in the ocean in Pacifica, the SF Bay, Delta and up in the Sacramento and Feather Rivers. Stripers used to travel all the way to Colusa to spawn but in the last ten years with the drought they don’t go that far up. I would say most of my biggest stripers are caught in the winter.

Thanks for the information
Fished the port of sac on Sunday. A lot of fish in there now. A cargo ship left the port at sunrise and of course killed the bite for about 2 hours. Then the tide turned and the fish started biting. 25" was our biggest.
Yes I heard the stripers were in the port. When the ships come and go it turns off the fish bite.
Thanks for all the great videos and advice!
Glad you like them! Hope they help you catch more fish
Tanks for your time and your Reports have a great day 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🐠🐠🐠🐬🐬🦈🦈🧜♀️🧜♀️🧜♀️🧜♀️🦀🦀🦀
Another good one
thanks
Another great video bud .. thanks for the info sir.
No problem 👍
Great video, very informative
Thanks as I've been chasing stripers all my life around here in Sac. And I'm still learning all the time as tides have so much to do with being sucessful at catching stripers.
Going to Brannan Island on Wed. Thanks for the info.
Caught on in Martinez a week ago
How was it on wed? I’m going this Thursday again. Hit it last Saturday and caught over 100 fish.
@@thoughtushldkno63 I am going on 12-13-23. I will be happy if I get one medium sized. I am new to this game.
I plan on launching Kayak at 10:00 am and paddling up the river. Do you think the stripers will be up the river? I stay out of the main channel for safety reason since my Kayak is only 10 feet.
I went out of Brannon Island today and it was a little slow only catching four keeper stripers but my friend did real good on the high outgoing tide this afternoon.
if your in a kayak launch at Sherman Lake launch don't have to go far to catch stripers in the lake
Alan do you think they will be in the Sherman island area for a while? We’re you mostly jigging today?
Tall Tails were not on our fish finder.
I struggled last weekend.
We caught fish I didn’t catch very many.
The wind went out of my sails Alan.
I’ll B Back.
Are you still staying in Snug Harbor? I been fishing out by Sherman but I'm headed north tomorrow
@@AlanFong no we’re back to the grind at home.
We stayed Thursday Fir Sat.
My brother has a big boat no trolling motor.
And a 2stroke….tuff to lure fish or sneak up on a spot.
I jiggled tossed and baited. Not a lot of action for us last weekend …….I’m still hungry for fish N
I should have my boat back by January.
I’ll try to meet up with you then Alan.
Was in Sherman area sat …god damn combat fishing …sheesh
Meaning Alot of boats out there?
@@khmuvisuals1669 yeah…was there before the sun even cracked and was already a line of about 12 boats …Thought there was a tournament or something…
I was there too. The power lines were crowded! I dipped. But there was a boat that hit 10 keepers.
@@user-lz3ns4mf8e trolling?
Yes lots of boats but there is plenty room as it's been on fire. Today was a little slower as it was too calm
Alan, I went out Sunday and my boat control was not optimal to keep presentation vertical. I was battling current that is not just as easy as it would seem. Do you have any tips other than more practice? Thanks for taking the time to do these learning videos!
Always keep you boat heading into current and with a electric trolling motor on the bow really helps. You should only be taping it on once in awhile to keep line vertical. If it doesn't stay vertical then use a heavier spoon. Now I'm using a 2oz spoon in 25-30 ft. If tide ripping might go to a 3oz to stay vertical.
I have a kayak and live close to Eckley Pier near Port Costa. Should I wait until Spring? I caught a nice Striper a few weeks ago, but nothing since.
Thanks for your great insight
sorry I'm not familiar with that area. If you can give me some land marks it might help
Its very close to Martinez
The stripers are in that area now
I went saturday on 12/2. Launched out of rio vista. Worked the 1st barn with a boat of 4. We limited 3 times over on live mudsucker. Then i went out solo on 12/9 and got skunked.
The stripers are on the move and seem to stay in one area for a few days and then they move. Some time returning in the same area if there food.Watch the tides as they are a big factor
@AlanFong how many ft of movement on tides would you recommend? I used to fish the smaller tide movements as the bigger tides would make the water murky. But lately it seems like you need more movement while also needing clear water. Thinking of launching rio vista again this Saturday 12/16. Forecast shows 64⁰ so I'm hoping it brings the water temp up a couple notches. Last weekend the water temp dropped for sure.
The stripers like the moving tides just knowing where to go. On high outgoing tide I like fishing big flats like in 2-4 ft water n weeds. Slower tides I'll spoon the breaks in 25-30 ft
@AlanFong thank you, I appreciate the info! The channel break worked great on 12/2 @ #21. Then 12/9 I couldn't get hit anywhere.
Heading out again this Saturday 12/16. I'll try working a glide near the weeds if the jig doesn't work.
Also gonna drift something live and see how they respond. Hoping the water temps are up a bit. Saturday is supposed to be warmer.
The stripers are moving like every three days so I'll graph going down stream and if I don't see them I'll move until I see them as years on the water helps lol
FISHING WORLD RECORD(BY SISTEM AND EQUIPMENT)HUCHO-HUCHO 12 KG!117 cm LONG!!!!
When the stripers come in the fall where do they go? Do they just relax in the delta and stay until the spawn?
Normally they start moving into the delta in Sept and stay feeding until they go up river to spawn. They feed real heavily during this time. Spooning on breaks in 20-35 ft and on high tides I like fishing big weed flats. From Rio Vista to Liberty Island are my favorite areas
@@AlanFong never hooked on to a big striper, only borderline keepers hoping to get some this year
The 70s geez
I'm 69 yrs old and I started fishing the delta in 1970 lol
I see you were probably here in the U S long time ago 👍
Born and raised here in Sacramento
Are there still stripers in the delta currently? Do u think I have a chance to catch some stripers bait fishing around the walnut grove area?
No you might have to go out to Rio Vista to Pittsburg. You might catch some under size stripers with a keeper, but most are in the main river now. WG area is good during the spring. If your fishing from the shore tey Sherman Lake area, lots area to fish from the shore.
@@AlanFong most stripers are in the main sac river? Do u think the begging of the sac river would be good where it branches away from Rio vista
yes you might do ok there and there starting to show up in delta. Their moving from the bay to the delta now for the fall n winter
@@AlanFong are they really already moving into the system why so early?
I know you said can’t really say a month but do u think right now beginning of June is a good time for striped bass in the delta?
There are still lots stripers in the delta right now. I've been catching a lot everyday and their feeding on crawdads. Once the water warms up another five degrees I think they will head out to the bay n ocean
@@AlanFong ok sounds good
@@AlanFong ima a bit confused once they move into the ocean is there no more stripers in the delta?
where to find good sardines for bait or fish mkt that has the
If you go to KP market, Otto's or any asian markets they usually have fresh sardines. The best frozen sadrines for bait only are Sea Wave brand
Boats on boats on boats on boats. No respect. If I can speak to you without yelling you are to close.
Stripers are pretty much all over the delta now. Look for isolated flats off the main channel as there are lots
