Updated April 10

DELTA, Sacramento side — Sturgeon fishing remains tremendous with Golden State Sport Fishing bringing a total of 31 diamondbacks to the boat in the Big Cut on Saturday. Sturgeon catch-and-release season ends on June 1, and only a few of the six-pack captains remain in Pittsburg or Martinez. Striped bass action has improved considerably from Collinsville north to Liberty Island with bait, trolling, drifting minnows, or casting large glide baits. Big female striped bass are on their way north to spawn. Largemouth bass action has also improved in the north Delta as the females are staging in the flats.

DELTA, San Joaquin side — Striped bass are spread throughout the west and central Delta, and the only limiting factor has been the grass during the period of big tides. Trolling along the Santa Clara or San Andreas Shoals has proven productive, and Captains Jeff Soo Hoo and Joey Gamez are both putting their clients onto limits of quality linesides. There is both a deep and shallow troll bite depending upon the tide. Largemouth bass are in all stages of the spawn, and many fish are posting up on the flats with deep water access. Chatterbaits, crankbaits, Senkos, or plastics are all working, and the size has been consistently improving.
