Seasonal Activity Chart
Striped Bass
Benicia, California, provides excellent access to the Carquinez Strait and the western Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, making it a prime location for striped bass fishing. The spring and fall migrations are the best times to target stripers, as they move through the area in large numbers. During these periods, they can be found feeding aggressively on baitfish. Trolling with deep-diving lures or casting swimbaits near structure are popular techniques. Live bait fishing with anchovies or sardines is also highly effective. A useful tip: pay close attention to the tide charts, as stripers tend to be more active during tidal changes. The Benicia Marina offers convenient boat launching facilities. Be aware of the strong currents in the strait and Delta, and use appropriate weights to maintain contact with the bottom. The striped bass in this area are known for their size and fighting ability, so be prepared for a thrilling battle.
