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. Catfish are the best target species this time of year that can help you beat the summer doldrums . Anchovies, Mackeral and Sardines are good choices here for the whiskerfish.

Walnut Grove Salmon are increasing in numbers Silvertrons and K-14 getting mentioned Bank anglers Pile worms and cut baits prevail. Catfish action is getting the most praise, 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. Best area has been Courtland to Walnut grove. Red Eye Shad and small shad patterned plastics are the top choices here as well.

Top water stripes are showing in the deep water side. Topwater scoring striped bass on the main river topwater look for birds. Jig bite on points is also good, the all new TNT Booby Trap is a great replica of Delta Craws come by and check them out !

Danny Salvador of Antioch has scored 3 Salmon to 19 pounds this week. 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 to 33 inches this week. The West as in Honker Bay to the Broad Slough plug casting is getting fish when wind cooperates.
