723.0. "Calif Delta Fishing" by WR2FOR::DODDS_JA () Tue May 17 1988 20:51

    
    California Delta Fishing
    
    Does anyone out there fish the California Delta?  I have been fishing
    it for twelve years now.  The delta abounds with Strippers, Black
    Bass and Catfish.

    I was in SANTA CLARA last week and traveled to Antioc to visit my
    wifes grand parents.  Pops tell me that the fishing is great on
    the delta.  He went on to show me his freezer loaded with all kind
    of fish. 
    My next trip to the BAY AREA will surely find me traveling with
    my rod case etc.
    Please tell us all you know, several of us noreasters travel to that
    part of the country and are always looking for a trip...I know that
    the WORM is going to SEMICON and is going after some STURGEN.
    
    Please keep us posted

    I will be traveling to the Bay area at the end of June and would
    like to find some info on any Steelhead fishing going on out there
    within a reasonable driving distance. Ideally, I would like to set
    up a day with a reputable guide. Does anyone out there have some
    quality information regarding this???  All my steelheading experience
    has been compiled in Michigan streams but I have heard of the great
    fishing on the West Coast. Now's my opportunity to sample it.  Is
    anybody out there?????

    Unless some amazing changes have taken place, I believe it's still
    called  "THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY"

723.6Sturgeon fishingWR2FOR::DODDS_JAThu May 19 1988 12:029
    
    You probably mean San Pablo Bay or Cartinez Straits.  The mothball
    fleet is usually excellent for the big guys.  Another good spot
    is around the San Richmond/San Rafal bridge where the San Francisco
    bay and the San Pablo Bay come together.  When the herring are spawning
    the Candlestick Point area is good.  Be prepared for a long day
    of good ole kick back fishing as the sport of Sturgeon fishing is
    a sit back and wait one.  Good Luck!

    thanks for the info! I'll look into the Mothball fleet. They serve
    beer I presume... are there 1/2 day trips?

    The mothball fleet is an ancorage for old navy ships.  You can anchor
    around them to fish.  As far as half day trips I'm not sure, but
    there are several charters that fish around there.  You might try
    contacting the 'Happy Hooker" out of San Pablo Yacht Harbor.  They
    go for sturgeon.  They can tell you of others (415)223-5388
    Good fishing.
