Seasonal Activity Chart
Striped Bass
Striped bass fishing near Livingston, California, revolves primarily around the California Aqueduct and the nearby San Joaquin River system. While not as renowned as the Delta, these waters still offer a chance to hook into some hard-fighting stripers. Spring is the prime time, as the stripers migrate upstream to spawn. Trolling with deep-diving lures or casting swimbaits from the bank are popular techniques. Access to the Aqueduct is generally good, but be mindful of parking restrictions and private property. The San Joaquin River offers opportunities from boat and shore. Check local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can change frequently. A local tip: pay attention to water flow and clarity. Stripers prefer moving water, so focus on areas with current. Shad-imitation lures are almost always effective.
