Striped Bass
While Fairfax itself isn't directly on major striper waters, dedicated anglers can find striped bass opportunities within reasonable driving distance. The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, a renowned striped bass fishery, is accessible for a day trip. Spring and fall are peak seasons, coinciding with the stripers' migratory runs. Focus on areas with current, such as the Sacramento River near Rio Vista or the San Joaquin River around Antioch. A crucial tip for fishing the Delta is to monitor the tide charts; outgoing tides often concentrate stripers. Also, consider using live bait, such as minnows or shad, for the best results. Delta stripers are known for their size and fight, so be prepared for a battle. Remember to check the California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for any specific restrictions or closures in the Delta region.
