California Delta sturgeon fishing: First try this autumn.
I finally gave up trolling stripers at Hogan and tried my hand at
sturgeon fishing near Decker Island this week. I towed the boat over with the motorhome and spent a couple of nights at Brannan Island State Park. I kept the boat in one of their berths both nights, making it all very convenient. I fished Tuesday and Wednesday, but didn't pull in any sturgeon. One angry little catfish took my lamprey eel, and was reeled in and released. I also caught a couple of bait fish at the docks the second morning, a bluegill and a little perch, and used them for bait as I can now use two rods on the delta. The little baitfish didn't attract any stripers, and I released them at the end of my fishing. The weather was absolutely calm, so calm that the sun made fishing miserable after the boat turned with the tide and faced me into it. I called off fishing early both days due to the heat, but this warm weather is about done, and I'll be complaining about the cold real soon, I reckon.

I've always wanted to try it, and never have. Didn't have a boat when I was there! |

Let's look who started the thread down the dark road... hey it was harry, what a surprise. WAFA Thanks for the reports Dale. I need to get up to Hogan one of these days. My favorite lake up there lately is New Melones, but mostly for family stuff. A little of everything; cruising, fishing, skiing, wakeboarding, swimming, etc. Let us know how the sturgeon hunt goes. --Mike |

My favorite lake up there lately is New Melones, but mostly for family stuff.. A little of everything; cruising, fishing, skiing, wakeboarding, swimming, etc. Let us know how the sturgeon hunt goes. --Mike Thanks, Vic. Mike, New Melones is a sad tale this year. One fella pulled out a 21" trout a week or so ago that was freakishly underweight. The kokanee are numerous and very small, which is strange this time of year. Brown trout used to be caught somewhat regularly but seldom now. The common thinking is that the shad have disappeared for some reason, leaving the place a starvation hole for trout. Too bad we can't truck half of the zillions of shad in Hogan up to New Melones. Sturgeon fishing is very time consuming and if I get one in four or five trips, it's a good year - and the limit is now just three per year and the slot has been reduced from 46" - 72" to 46" - 66". So more are now released than ever before. But a fella has to enjoy the beer and the music while waiting for that little sturgeon nibble. And that ain't all bad! Dale www.fishwisher.com |
