Striped Bass
Chasing Striped Bass near Los Altos means heading towards the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. While Los Altos itself lacks suitable striper habitat, the Delta, a little over an hour's drive away, is a renowned striped bass fishery. Spring and fall migrations are the peak times, as stripers move into the Delta to spawn or feed. Trolling deep-diving lures or casting swimbaits near structure are popular techniques. The Delta's complex network of sloughs and channels can be intimidating, so consider hiring a local guide for your first trip. A local tip: Pay close attention to tide charts. Stripers often feed aggressively during tidal changes. Also, be aware of the Delta's sometimes strong currents and plan your fishing strategy accordingly. The striper population fluctuates, so check recent fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on their abundance and size.
