Isleton
The salmon bite remains strong as cooler evening temps take hold. The bite in the area just remained strong all week. Salmon anglers are seeing success, a few fishing finally started getting solid reports of success from Salmon searching anglers with Capt. Stan Spinners leading the way. Water temperatures have dropped with the cooler evenings. Many anglers to the west are seeing more salmon daily… getting close. Silvertron’s are the best bet for those who want to try. Smallies are getting more attention now as 2 to 4 pound fish show more often now… Jigs and flukes are getting them!
Walnut Grove
Continuing solid Salmon numbers with many Great Scores reported Capt. Stan Spinners and K-14 getting mentioned. Best area has been Courtland to Walnut grove. Few Stripes are in the area as anglers recover still around as temperatures return more seasonable in the Walnut Grove area as the trolling bite is OK mostly small fish.. Red Eye Shad and small shad patterned plastics are the top choices here as well. Small swimbaits are scoring Largemouth and Smallmouth in the Meadows.
Discovery Bay
More Stripers now starting to group up in the Marina side. Dan’s Classic Shimmer Jigs and Strike King RedEye Shad getting mentioned. Black Bass cooler evening temps have water temperatures dropping and the bite on upswing!. Crankbaits baitfish patterned Rick Clunn Square Bills and Livingston Baits getting the attention of the bass anglers. Strike King small Double Buzz and 6th Sense Poppers getting mentioned often. Jig bite on points is also good, the all new TNT Watermelon Candy is a great New Addition to the line check them out !
Frank’s Tract
Stripers and bass abound. Walking baits are great topwater options while Bubba Shad Rigged on Fatsack Swimbait heads and swim jigs get the mention. We found plenty of Stripers and Black Bass with Hair Jigs, Weedless Swimmers like the Havoc Sick Fish getting grabbed. Lot of Stripes on Old River Flats.
West Delta
Salmon success stories still abound. Slime Rockets best on the incoming tide with Mepp’s Flying C’s in Pittsburgh and Humphries areas. More Anglers in search of stripers are finding solid numbers of keeper stripers from both boat and bank. Most of the nice stripers coming soaking Shad. Antioch Pier scored stripers to47 inches this week. Shad is top offering. The West as in Honker Bay to the Broad Slough plug casting is getting fish when wind cooperates. Go On Top with Dan’s Delta Mizers, during the day go old school with Hair Jigs Like Dan’s Classic Shimmer jigs or Spro in open water White/Dark Green and White/Blue best this week. Bass Bite stays solid in the Break and surrounding cuts. Cranking Strike King Square bills in bait fish patterns and spinnerbaits is key.
