Ok, for the last week or so I have been sticking close to the house. Been fishing the Sacramento River Well, it is summer and catching isn't red hot. But the weather has been and the fihsing has been great with friends. Starting off with Isleton. I have managed a couple of nice fish out of there. First with a nice 7-8 pound striper caught with a bloodworm on an incoming tide around 23:00. Of course we caught plenty of shakers and small cats also.
Talk about cats. Made another brief night trip out and managed to hook into a nice 7 pound channel with bloodworms. Actually I was trying for stripers again, but not complaining at all about the nice cat. If you want the cats, we use chicken liver. And buy the fresh stuff. Don't let that old tale of old and stinky performs better. At least not for them feisty channel cats. Of course the other baits works for cats, especially clams. You can catch all the smaller cats with clams in the delta all day and night long.
Let's take a brief note on Hood. Been fishing here and yet to see any large stripers hooked. But you sure can see and them jumping from time to time. Especially at sundown, but them stubborn boogers aren't biting. We have tried bloodworms, pileworms, and an assortment of lures. Still yet to hook into a legal one. But the shaker action is almost non-stop. Oh! You may use anchovies also if you just want to bit for the cheapest bait.
Talk about bait. It is hard for me to believe that a dozen bloodworms cost $12. Yes! It really does. Pretty soon you'll need a good paying job to fish effectively with bait. LOL Until next time, get bit soon.
