DELTA, Sacramento side — Quality striped bass are moving rapidly through the Delta, but as the spawn is wrapping up in the Sacramento and Feather Rivers, the linesides will be coming back down on their way to the cooler waters of San Francisco Bay and the coast. Striped bass action has been sporadic as there was a rush of linesides up the Sacramento River, but they will be coming back down within the next two weeks. Sturgeon fishing remains outstanding although nearly all six-packs have vacated for San Francisco Bay, but Captain Steve Mitchell of Hook’d Up Sport Fishing went six for seven on sturgeon on Friday with five of the sturgeon being either slot-limit or oversized. Mitchell said, “We looked around several places as the grass was intense, but the fish are there. It’s hard to keep your lines clean in the grass, but we found clearer water around the Middle Grounds.” White sturgeon season ends on June 1 before reopening October 1.
