Striped Bass
While Pleasanton isn't a striper mecca, anglers can find striped bass in the California Aqueduct, which runs nearby. These fish are often migratory, following baitfish and water flows. Your best bet for catching stripers here is during the spring and fall months when water temperatures are moderate. Look for areas where the aqueduct narrows or where there are inlets or outlets, as these spots tend to concentrate fish. A practical tip: use swimbaits and crankbaits that mimic the size and color of the prevalent baitfish. Also, be prepared for long casts, as the aqueduct is wide in many areas. Access to the aqueduct can be limited, so be sure to research public access points and respect private property. Remember to check the California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for any specific rules pertaining to the aqueduct.
