The HOT weekend actually slowed the numbers of anglers on the river with this weekend. Still, bank anglers scored this past week along the highway 160 from Three Miles Slough Bridge to Isleton Bridge on cut baits, pile worms. Cut baits and crawlers scored some nice catfish. Things are solid, now if the wind would would ever calm we could have a solid week ahead.  Panfish bite is also on the upswing using wax and red worms under bobbers out of the current.  Smallies are showing for crankbait anglers from Isleton to Walnut Grove. Striper trollers caught and released about 8 fish to 12 fish per trip.

Stick with the trolling! The trolling bite continues strong.  Angry Eye minnows and Yo-Zuris are the top choices here as well. Bank anglers use livers and cut baits for 2 to 4 pound catfish. For fun, try some smallie fishing. Crankbaits and brown blue jigs are getting the smallmouth. Frog bite for largemouth is improving on the hot days in the backwater areas.

“Spooled again!” exclaimed one angler from the Antioch pier! Sturgeon success has come on the outgoing tide with pile worms, eel and roe. Occasionally the Antioch pier anglers run into Mr .Diamondback but boaters have best shot at  Broad Slough, Bouy 1 and Pittsburg PG&E are good bets. While bank and pier anglers are getting decent action, again moving tide is the key for the stripers and catfish. Pile worms, shad and cut offerings are the best bet for them. Boaters in search of stripers look for the Eddo’s area to start producing this week with salmon being dropped in.Provided by Delta Outdoors, 1625 Main St. Oakley (925) 234-4694 Follow on Facebook  http://www.facebook.com/#!/CaseyDeltaOutdoor
