DELTA, Sacramento side — Striped bass fishing remains best in the west side of the Delta from Collinsville to Rio Vista, but a consistent wind has limited action along the West Bank, muddying up the water along with the next set of larger tides. Bass fishing is decent with chatterbaits around Liberty Island. Local tackle shops are gearing up for the river salmon opener on July 16 east of the Carquinez Bridge. Sturgeon catch-and-release season ends in a few weeks on June 30 through October 1.

DELTA, San Joaquin side — Largemouth bass fishing has been up and down, but a variety of techniques have been producing limits in the 12-pound range. Spinnerbaits, topwater lures, Senkos, chatterbaits, or punching the weeds have been the best bets, and it still takes around 20 pounds to place in a tournament. remains a grind, but there is an early morning topwater bite. Striped bass have been found around Holland Tract, but there are plenty of undersized fish in the mix. The larger tides have brought out the grass and debris.
