50th Fish Caught in the 50th State

Still a warm day, not as hot as a few days ago though. Water temps dropped a few degrees on the Sacramento River side. Marked some fish on the graph and finally some some schoolie stripers to play with. Salmon are still slow in the lower river until the water temps fall a little more. We will be out looking for the changing conditions and will report what we find.

Another 94° day with 73° water temps in our area. Spent the day looking for more early season salmon. Allot more boats on the water today than 2 days ago in our area. We marked some stacked schools in several areas. We ran the usual patterns of trolling scorpion salmon spinners and hooked one shaker striper. We continued searching our regular areas and fished for Stripers and Salmon with deep diver stick baits and scorpion salmon spinners. Once we marked some stacked fish, we dropped p line laser minnows on them, but no takers. Switched over to some cut bait fishing on anchor and started hooking more shaker Stripers right before the end of the small outgoing tide. Our morning tides this week are small and bigger 3 to 4 foot tides are in the evenings. We will be off the water for 2 days and back on another charter Sunday. We will report back on the findings for that day.

Hot day on the river with temps pushing high 90s and still water temps at 74°. We spent the morning trolling for Salmon and Stripers with some mixed in bait fishing stops as tides changed. We ended up bouncing jigs for a couple of hookups on shaker Stripers. We just came off the full moon and the fish should be pushing in from the ocean, but with the warm water, they will be flying through our area. We will continue to search for fish as the season continues and we'll keep you posted on our findings.
