Blue Catfish
While Cupertino, California, itself lacks large rivers, the opportunity to target blue catfish exists within a reasonable drive to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The Delta's network of waterways offers a habitat where blue catfish can thrive. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when they are most active. Focus your efforts near deep channels, submerged structure, and areas with current. A helpful tip is to use fresh cut bait, such as shad or herring, as blue catfish are primarily scavengers. Accessing the Delta from Cupertino requires a short drive to launch points near Antioch or Rio Vista. Be aware of tidal fluctuations, which can significantly impact fishing conditions. While the Delta is a known striped bass fishery, the blue catfish population is steadily increasing, offering a unique and challenging angling experience.
