Delta

A never-ceasing wind dirties the main stem of the Sacramento River and breaks loose vegetation to clog trolling lanes. Even pros such as guide Mark Wilson of Sacramento come up with just a keeper striped bass or two per outing, working the West Bank, Sandy Beach, Collinsville and Broad Slough.

Bait dunkers using anchovies, threadfin shad and crawdads don't fare any better, but the occasional 25-incher is pulled from just above the Rio Vista bridge and even the municipal pier, and off the bank along Highway 160.

The problem? The fall striped bass run hasn't begun and, if the anadromous species follows suit with salmon and halibut, you can expect a later-than-usual migration. This week, stripers still are outside the Golden Gate along the beaches and congregating over rock piles in San Francisco and San Pablo bays.

There are scattered stripers in the Mokelumne River and tributaries such as Hog and Sycamore sloughs. Trollers find undersized linesides, less than 18 inches, and a few keepers to 24 inches on the San Joaquin River at Three Mile Slough, Peacocks and the shoals.

Wilson's summation: "They aren't here yet."

Black bass aren't jumping into nets, either. Topwater frogs, jigs and Senkos will yield some 1- to 2-pound bass. But locating and hooking larger ones, 4 to 5 pounds, is a chore. Bluegill, redear and catfish are prolific.

Saltwater

Ocean - The San Francisco Bay fleet finds sporadic salmon action at the Light Bucket, Muir Beach, Point Reyes, Duxbury and Double Point. The take varies from full limits to one salmon per rod. On windy days, the charters struggle. Kings go up to 28 pounds, averaging 8 to 10 pounds. Rockcod fishing is wide open with a mix of lingcod to 12 pounds. Both salmon and striped bass are claimed off San Mateo County beaches when anchovies are present. Monterey Bay and Bodega Bay charters also find rockfish and salmon, though many kings measure less than the minimum 24 inches. Albacore range from 60 to 80 miles outside Half Moon Bay as they follow the warm water break.
