Stripers and Swimbaits on the CALIFORNIA DELTA

[@340wbymag]

I hope to fish in the Delta next summer for the first time. I have been airbrush painting lures for fun for a while and can't wait to see if they will catch fish.

[@BeardedBassin]

There you go!!! Always fun to see something you create catch a fish!

[@jrpacksss]

Very fun, use bright colors, and s wavers if you are thinking of buying lures! Good luck !

[@ronk846]

What type of scale do you use? I used to fly fish for them and did much better with a sinking line and closer minnow. I am gear fishing now and seem to have a tougher time finding them. Good luck!

[@BeardedBassin]

I use the rapala touch screen for a scale. The stripers they are elusive!

[@Anthony-g7k8p]

Ahhh my neck of da woods!!!

[@BeardedBassin]

💪🏼👌🏼

[@joaquinsantillan6257]

Striper are harder to track than bass , when i finaly tried fishing striper i felt bummed out because i couldn't target them especially out there its such a massive river kinda makes you second guess yourself about fishing stripers but now i just see it as just enjoying the chase and learning should be enjoyed not stressful like i first did when i couldn't track them.

[@BeardedBassin]

All worth it when you do track em down!

[@BassHead1322]

Usually swim baits work good in the shallows but I have caught them everywhere on everything. It’s mainly right place right time scenario. It will get better as it gets colder. Keep at em.

[@BeardedBassin]

Yup I’ve got the bug, biggest I’ve caught was 15lbr on a chatterbait!!! Just going to keep grinding!!!

[@MarkdaShark191]

Stripers are tough, I fish for them more then I fish for bass and it's all about right place right time. That and knowing where the schools are, it's for sure a much more challenging game then bass fishing.

[@BeardedBassin]

You ain’t lying!!! Just got to keep grinding!!!

[@jasonriede6056]

Only things slower than fishing right now is the duck hunting 😢

[@markpoulson7902]

Try dipping your soft bait tails in chartreuse. Stripers love chartreuse.

[@BeardedBassin]

👌🏼

[@johnscottspencer]

I feel your pain. It seems like when I go striper fishing it’s either feast or famine. Stay after it!

[@BeardedBassin]

Exactly perfect explanation!!!

[@Deebandman]

Yo great video bearded, ive been chasing stripers on the delta and gotten lucky enough to find them in one area near were u fished they still around. Tight lines better luck next time🤙 🎣

[@BeardedBassin]

That’s how it goes!!! So close yet so far away!!!

[@Deltakingca]

The striper aren't quite up there yet we're catching them around Pittsburg antioch area right now probably few more week they will be up that area

[@BeardedBassin]

So close yet so far away lol. 👌🏼

[@Deltakingca]

@BeardedBassin couldn't had said it better 🤣

[@rudydodds6054]

If you want to switch up sometimes a spoon is money if you fin them a little deeper on the chanel breaks. I always have a 3/4 or 1 oz tied on. Good luck

[@BeardedBassin]

You know I did throw two spoons out deep on some schools but no go, left a lot of struggle footage out lol

[@hankkalb9267]

Fishing the upper Chesapeake Bay using swim baits nothing put on a LV500 started to catch those stripers

[@BeardedBassin]

I bet!!! I threw around one both days ! Couldn’t keep the largies off of it!!!

[@roroteam8395]

DUO Realis 120sp jerkbait ivory halo and bone white is the best sauce for striper. They hit majority of the time when u pause it for a couple second.

[@BeardedBassin]

There a lucky craft most of the day without a sniff, just don’t think I was around them.

[@SteveBotiller]

Yo steven from napa here me and Denis have been out 3 time in last two weeks put 36 in the boat ranging from 25lbs 10 15. You are so close Denis would pist if told you right where they were but your so close but go the other way

[@BeardedBassin]

I hope you mean south because I ran everywhere north of there!!!

[@dantecarpino7500]

Sometimes I believe its location keep checking graph to find them. Good luck

[@BeardedBassin]

It usually is!!! Been finding the bait, fish must just be right around the corner.

[@dakamp]

Head to Sherman. Fall through spring it’s money.

[@BeardedBassin]

Yes sir!

[@coachMiguelfishing]

It be like that sometimes

[@BeardedBassin]

You know, it is!!! 😂😂😂

[@chrisruef9221]

Try pausing and varying the speed of your retrieve more. Maybe you are but from the video it seemed like a constant retrieve. Striper grab on the pause

[@BeardedBassin]

💪🏼👌🏼
