Bobs Bait Report
It was very good weather in the fall with temperature was still above 60 degree. Some days in a week were partly cloudy while
some days were very clear. There was not much windy for entire a week. This would be a perfect weather to fish for striped
bass and sturgeon in the Delta areas.
The striped bass fall run was late at least a month but it has been started last couple weeks. This time, there are too many
striped bass are considered small since they were from 15” to 28” long. Most anglers from either bank or from
boats reported limit striped bass easily on either baits or trolling. I went out to troll for striped bass last week and got
number of keeper striped bass but they were mostly from 20” to 26”. Sea Lion appeared in the river also indicates
that striped bass is running very well now. Fishing for striped bass was really good from Sherman Island, Decker Island, Rio
Vista Bridge, Isleton Bridge, up to Walnut Grove. It is also very good report from boat anglers in San Joaquin River and Mokelumne
rivers. Most Striped caught in South Mokelumne River were very good size from 28” to 32” on live bait.
Sturgeon fishing was good in Sacramento River from Sherman Island to Cache Slough. John and his friend from Fairfield got
55” sturgeon or grass shrimp at Light 42 in Sacramento River. The good baits for sturgeon are grass shrimp, ghost shrimp,
and Lamprey eel.
Black bass fishing has been slow since the water temperature has been going down to 60 degree. Catfish fishing was also slow
down much.
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
us so we can arrange the baits for you.
