That guy looks like a true Delta Dog. Minus the clean shirt and hat of course.

We’ve been fishing the delta since the late ‘70’s, so yeah he’s definitely a Delta Dog. I can’t believe how the conditions have changed over the years. We used to only need about 3 or 4oz weights when bank fishing now people are using 16oz plus. At least there are still some nice stripers and sturgeon coming though. Can’t wait to get out.That guy looks like a true Delta Dog. Minus the clean shirt and hat of course.

I didn’t start fishing the delta until the early 2000’s. Even back then if you were bankin it you better have some 16’s in the box. Most my spots needed 6-8oz if on the pick. They’re releasing quite allot of water from the dams so that prob doesn’t help much right now.
Would love to be chasing them dinos around this Sept and oct down there
Tides are only gonna get better towards the weekend. Man I miss it down there.

Btw, nice to see a real striper posted on here lol. Lots of pics of shaker stripers on here that def don’t represent. But I gotta say, once you fish in the spring up on the sac, like around Colusa and above(non-prop water) you don’t realize how many of those hogs still cruise up through the delta

I remember going through the mitten crab infestation and later the bottom water plant infestation, it’s like one gut punch after another, lol". For a while now lately I’ve haven’t been able to do any fishing at all (Used to hit Berryessa and Putah a lot) but I started noticing quite a few big healthy stripers being caught throughout the delta and Sac area so I’m beginning to gear up again.
You mentioned the Colusa area, I used to work that district when I was a sales rep and heard lots of great stories about how amazing the Lake Oroville fishing was. I never got around to fishing it, wondering if it’s still producing good catches.

I’m up near Lake Oroville nowadays but haven’t been fishing much at all ever since loosing everything to the Campfire and the very busy life since. I should be out trolling for kings in Lake Oroville any day i want to this summer but nope just isn’t in the cards yet I guess. Both my boats made it through the fire but took a lot of damage. Just sold the sled though
When i was still down there I had my 23’ trophy at Vierras but usually hauled my other boat to Antioch or, usually grabbing bait at Dockside and launching there at Pittsburg from about right now to end of October.

"I made some calls and learned he has a reputation for delivering the goods. He’s a big dog in local bass tournaments and his clients usually go home happy.
He fishes hard. He fishes with focus. He likes to cap a long day on the water with a long night on the water. My kind of guy."

Fisherman caught with oversized stripers in NH; planned to sell them in Mass.
Tips from anglers fishing along New Castle and Rye, NH, led to a Massachusetts fisherman getting caught in a crime, authorities say.
