DELTA, Sacramento side — Striped bass remain a solid option, and there have been some large linesides over 40 pounds reports, but with the cold water temperatures below 50 degrees, live or dead bait are the best options. The stripers are spread out from the Carquinez Bridge to above the Rio Vista Bridge, and they are holding in deep water. Spooning with Blade Runner jigs both above and below the Rio Vista Bridge in the deep holes is another option. Sturgeon fishing remains solid from Pittsburg to Martinez with six-pack operators reporting up to 10 fish to the boat. The good news is the varying sizes of the diamondbacks, anywhere from 18 to 72 inches. Salmon roe remains the top bait, but with the colder water, ghost shrimp and eel should also get some play. Largemouth bass fishing is slow with the colder water, but the northern largemouth are able to withstand cold water better than the Florida-strain found in the San Joaquin system.
