Striped Bass
If you're chasing striped bass near Lake City, California, you'll want to focus your attention on the nearby brackish water influenced by the Sacramento River Delta. The Delta's unique ecosystem feeds a healthy striper population. Spring and fall are prime times, as stripers migrate into the Delta to spawn and feed on shad and other baitfish. During the warmer months, stripers will seek deeper, cooler water. A great tactic is to troll deep-diving crankbaits or cast swimbaits near structure. Pay close attention to water clarity, as stripers prefer slightly murky conditions. Access to the Delta is available via several public boat ramps around nearby Pittsburg and Antioch. Be aware that tidal fluctuations significantly impact fishing conditions, so check tide charts before heading out. The stripers in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, so be ready for a fight!
