FISHING REPORT
2024 Striped Bass
What a season it was! High water on the Sacramento River
allowed us to be very blessed. There did come some
adversities, however we were able to over come them. We
saw days of boat limits by 8:30am and some days we had to
work for them. Most of the fish caught were schoolies (18-
25"), however late April in to May we were able to get some
10-20lb hens in the net! Over all, the fishing was amazing!
Cannot wait until 2025 season.
2024 Kokanee
All I can say is limits were the rule. Bullards Bar blessed us
on every trip. The high water in the reservoir allows the
Kokanee to be able to get a good food source. Each trip we
were able to get a 12" fish average with a lot of 13"+ mixed
in.
3.15.25 Delta Fishing
This past Saturday we went out and did a scouting trip in the CA Delta for our upcoming client
trips. We were able to score limits of line sides while trolling deep diving lures. With this new
rise of water we will be receiving from recent rain, plus the full moon, we will start to see the
herds of striped bass move in to the Delta system and start working their way in to the main
stems. We will be fishing the Delta for the next 2-3 weeks.
3.22.25 Delta Fishing
Wind Wind Wind! We battled the wind while trolling deep diving lures in both the SJ and
False River systems. We even fished minnows for a few sections. The bite was tough over
all. We were able to land a hand full of striped bass and put smiles on clients faces. We
tested the new lures made by Kevin Brock and results were well. You can get yours on his
