Striped Bass
While not a renowned striper hotspot, the San Benito River near Hollister does hold some striped bass, especially during their migration runs. These fish move upriver from the Delta to spawn. Spring is the peak season, with fish pushing up with the higher flows. Look for them in deeper holes and near structure. A local tip: Casting swimbaits or crankbaits that mimic shad can be effective. Also, be aware of the river's flow conditions; heavy rains can make fishing difficult or dangerous. Striped bass in the San Benito River are typically smaller than those found in the Delta, but you still have a chance at landing a quality fish. Check local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can change.
