Our striper bite is about over in most of the local areas. We get a great
"World Series bite" in October and then when the rains come they run way up
the river to spawn. And since the Sacramento Delta is about 1500 miles of
waterways, they get really spread out.

Just had to get out. So decided local lake Del Valle instead if South SF
Bay Sturgeon. Right choice. Got to Del Valle and the batteries were low
for the big motor. So ran on the kicker. Trolled to dam and anchored
fished Heron Bay and nothing. No one catching. Bald eagle flew over the
boat at about 20'. Cool. Rained hard a couple of times, but top and
side
curtains and heater made life good. Was 41 degrees as I left at 6 pm.

What were you fishing for?

The upper Thames River (past New London CT) has been producing an
incredible number of over-winter stripers and while I haven't gone,
the winter flounder fishing as been spectacular.
