DELTA, Sacramento side — Heavy water releases from the Sacramento, Feather, and American Rivers have resulted in a wall of mud and debris piling into the Sacramento Delta. Striped bass have headed for clear water in the Port of Sacramento while a few linesides are taking drifting live bait or on the anchor in the main river. Sturgeon are the best option in Suisun Bay, but grass and debris are a nuisance on every cast, even on the incoming tide. Boaters must be very cautious with the number of logs and heavy debris under the surface leading to the potential of pulling a boat on anchor down within seconds. Boaters are advised to keep an eye on upcoming debris and carry a knife to cut the anchor rope if being pulled under.
