Seasonal Activity Chart
Striped Bass
Targeting striped bass near Ceres means focusing on the San Joaquin River. This river provides a migratory route and habitat for stripers, especially during their spring and fall runs. The Delta, easily accessible from Ceres, is another prime location. Spring is often the most productive time, as stripers move upstream to spawn. Trolling with deep-diving crankbaits or casting swimbaits near structure are effective techniques. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity. If the water is murky, opt for lures with bright colors and strong vibrations. Also, be mindful of the tide charts, as striped bass activity often increases during tidal changes. Stripers in this area can vary in size, from smaller schoolies to larger fish weighing over 15 pounds. Check the current fishing regulations for size and bag limits before you go. Always prioritize safety when fishing the river and delta, as boat traffic can be heavy.
