DELTA, Sacramento side — The waters on the Sacramento side of the California Delta turned to mud again, but the sturgeon don’t seem to mind as recreational charter boats are reporting up to 20 hook ups per outing. Captain Steve Mitchell of Hook’d Up Sport Fishing took out a novice crew on Saturday for 10 slot-limit sturgeon to the boat out of 14 hook ups soaking cured salmon roe outside of the Pittsburg Marina. The diamondbacks are spread throughout the bay from the sloughs to the shallow water to outside the Pittsburg Harbor. Striped bass were taken in the shallows of Liberty Island the previous week, but they have moved to clear water in the backs of the sloughs and the ports of Stockton and Sacramento. Once this coming storm passes and the river clears, striped bass action should be outstanding for trollers and plug casters.
