Tis the season for little stripers packed along the banks. If you can stand the weather, the constant heat and blast furnace winds by afternoon, this would be a good time to introduce youngsters to striped bass fishing. Light tackle and cut anchovies will be all you need for constant action. Don't count on keepers, though.
Sturgeon angling still has a decent potential from Sherman Island to Rio Vista.
And salmon are just starting to show up on the Sacramento River. Not much going on for pan-fish. Catfish rule everywhere. We called around to several of the shops and talked with the pros behind the counter to hear what they had to say on Sunday 8-5. There are stripers being caught under the Benicia Railroad Bridge and a couple at Dillon Point along with a couple of salmon the last two days.
