Bobs Bait Report
It was very good week last week with the temperature was normal and cooling off a bit in recent days. The windy season in
the Delta could last until August so there is more windy days than the calm days. It’s good if the wind is about less
than 10 MPH. It could be light rain shower tomorrow but the change could be low.
Fishing for sturgeon in the Delta has been cooling off from peak last month. It will gradually slow down until the spawning
season will be over by end of this month. On the way out to the Bay, more sturgeon reported from Sherman Island, Antioch Bridge
and the Bay Point area on grass shrimp and ghost shrimp baits. So far it was very good year for sturgeon fishing in this spring
where more legal sturgeon report from either bank anglers or boat anglers. The hottest spots to fish for sturgeon are Cache
Slough from Light 49A to Prospect Slough and in Shad Slough. Grass shrimp, ghost shrimp, lamprey eel, and pile worm are the
good baits to fish for sturgeon. However, grass shrimp bait recently is hard to get and smaller. Bait stores have very hard
time to get grass shrimp and keep them alive. Fishing for striped bass was very good even it was a bit slower than last month
due to hot weather. Fishing in early morning or late afternoon when this incoming tide falls into this time is very good.
I went out last weekend and even last night to troll for striped bass and still got number of good size striped bass from
Isleton Bridge to the windmill. As mentioned in previous fishing reports, the color of lure is very important to get the striped
bass strikes. One color works best this time but may not work at all in another time of the day. Having some different colors
in the tackle box to change when trolling more than half an hour without and bites. The American shad fishing was very good
from last couple weeks in Freeport area to the Shanghai Bend in Yuba City. Fishing for the American shad is very much enjoyable.
When catching one, angler could land several others for every time to cast the jig out and let the jig drop to certain depth
level. In Yuba city, the red head jig with pink champagne color of grub is very hot now to fish for the American shad. Fishing
for small mouth, largemouth bass, and catfish was very good last with in Mokelumne Rivers, Georgiana Slough, and Cache Slough.
Good luck to you and have a nice coming weekend.
Where is the Georgiana Slough? Starting from Bob's Bait Shop and driving towards Walnut Grove on the highway
160, it is about .08 mile then turn right at Tyler Road. After passing Tyler Island bridge, turn left then find the open space
to fish. It's very nice place where you and your family can stay over night, fishing for striper, sturgeon, and catfish.
Another good spot is also Georgiana Slough but on this side of the slough. Starting from Bob's
Bait shop and set your speedohmeter to 0. Driving along the river on the bait shop side (River Road), remember not to cross
Isleton bridge. When your speedohmeter reachs to 4.4
miles you are at Andrus Island Rd. Turn right and driving toward
the levee. When your speedohmeter reachs to 6 miles, your are at RV park. This is a good area for fishing, picnic and camping.
We have all live baits you need including ghost, grass shrimp, pile worm, blood worm, minnows, bull head, and
mudsucker. Frozen baits include sardine, anchovy, shad, eel, bull head, mudsucker. Special made salted sardine is very good
for striper, sturgeon, catfish.
For the one who may come late after business closed(please call before 9:00 PM), call
