I've been getting out about 2x a week. Lots of fish some days, others not so many. Finally landed my first double-digit fish (11 lbs) yesterday. Most days have featured a few in the 4-5 lb range & of course multiple fish less than 18".
I haven't tried many flies, though. Pretty much just put on a chart/white clouser & keep fishing it. Largemouth have been hitting it too.
Another interesting point: Fairly long periods of nothing, then something turns them on & I've caught several in 30 minutes, or even less. So keep at it - you never know!
Good luck out there.
Bill

good for you

This was pretty vague.......no location, no pics :smt009

Bill mentioned frank's tract in one of his previous posts, so I'm guessing its that area.
-

Thanks for the report & nice work. The fly guys have been getting some big stripers at SLR recently too! https://vimeo.com/145767247

Nice to see you getting out Bill, 2x/week is awesome. Hot bite correspond to a particular tide?
I'll be out on the Delta on Sat., and if I can pull it off either the Napa or SLR/Forebay on Sunday. Seems stripers are hot everywhere with the big fish starting to show, go now...

Might hit the Napa Sunday and/or Monday. Good to hear that the bite is on !

Napa has been really good even better than a few weeks ago according to some fly guys I talked to. One guy caught 3 fish over 10lbs in one morning from a boat.
-
Location: yep, pretty much around Franks so far. But I read PB reports of guys doing very well near Stockton, plus around Red Rock in San Pablo Bay.
Pics: I promise I'll take some! I really will! One I really wish I could have taken yesterday: a mink swimming by while I was stopped eating a sandwich. I'm sure any movement would have spooked him.
-
Tides: Lately it's seemed like slack tides are best. Kind of strange. I usually prefer outgoing, but I tend to fish when I can, rather than on when to go relative to tides. But I definitely plan my launch point around the tides.
-
you been launching at Bethel?
-
Mostly Bethel, but along the San Joaquin as well.
-
Napa river and mare island strait has been active on the outgoing...as far as I know Benicia is too.. Been seeing a lot of sturgeon activity as well.
