Delta Striper Bite Turns Wide Open

The California Delta is delivering red-hot striped bass action right now with water temperatures holding at 54 degrees. Anglers fishing with John Richardson of Here Fishy Fishy Guide Service are seeing doubles, triples, and even quadruples on the same cast as stripers aggressively chase moving baits.

The top producers continue to be Yo Zuri deep divers in rainbow trout and chartreuse patterns, rigged with chartreuse or black worm trailers for extra action. The combination is triggering explosive strikes throughout the day.

With cooler water temps keeping the fish active and grouped up, conditions are prime for fast limits and non-stop action. Now is the time to hit the Delta while the bite stays this strong.
