California Delta:

DELTA, San Joaquin side — Striped bass flooded into the western edge of the San Joaquin River from the Antioch Bridge upstream to Prisoner’s Point, and the water temperatures have risen to the 55- to 58-degree range with increased visibility. Trollers are pulling Atlas Rigs or deep-diving Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnows or P-Line’s Predator Minnows for limits of linesides to 10 pounds with most fish in the 3- to 5-pound range. Swimbaits or glide baits are also effective, but you have to search them out as the schools are moving on a daily basis. Largemouth bass fishing continues to improve as the water clears, and winning tournament limits are now in the 20-plus pound range. action is slowly improving, and there have been some good signs during the past two weekends of tournament action with limits pushing 25 pounds. Chatterbaits, squarebilled crankbaits, or plastics are working with the best action on the high tide.
