How to locate delta striped bass!

[@MrVicg1990]

This guys the truth I don’t like to listen to other Fisherman’s advice I like to learn from experience but at times I will take advice and what he’s saying I’ve heard before from 2-3 Fisherman’s that been fishing the delta 10 + years but they wouldn’t give locations and tell me to search and put the time in

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thank you brother!

Nick I live in stockton, I just bought a boat so I started looking on my phone for some ideas and found you . I have learned so much from your videos . I didn't know anything about fishing and I've been fishing for 50 years. I do watch other videos but when I need to know something I go to your videos .thanks for your videos . Fred the senior.

[@BrantRego]

Went to the Delta yesterday by Little Franks. Followed your advice and nailed 4 with a big R2S S-wave. Exactly where you said they would be. Tide going out. Found a flat flooded area and set my boat up just like you said. Thanks...You are the best. Keep up the good work.

[@InformativeFisherman]

Brant Rego nice bro, that’s sick!

[@agiantcub8it542]

Appreciate the wealth of knowledge. I’m new to the Delta and just looking to appreciate the area.

[@yiannikomniny4745]

You are the first KZbin fisherman I ever watched, I've been watching you for 5 years

[@InformativeFisherman]

That's awesome bro, thank you!

[@sahinovic37]

Well Thx for being such a good man.Really i just subscribed to your channel because you are honest,i know about dose places especially Sherman Lake i go there for last 15 years but you are the only one who told people where to fish! Thx i will be waiting for all your videos.Good Luck

[@wayneblanchard4347]

That was outstanding. Easy to understand and apply. Stripers have always been elusive for me and this helps explain why.

[@InformativeFisherman]

Stay after them bro, takes some time!

[@JwG3359]

Thanks Nick for the excellent break down. Love to fish for the stripes!!! Looking forward to the spawn and hoping the big logs don't get in the way after these rains. Outstanding!!!

[@mastermouaable]

Been following you for a long whole now. Nice job explaining where the Stripers are feeding. Thanks for the good information. Tight lines brother.

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thank you bro, it's much appreciated!

[@Riverfish1]

This is probably the best striper delta video on KZbin to date. I've been fishing for them lately and Umbrella rigs, underspins, and top water work awesome. Only thing I would struggle with was boat positioning during the in or out tides and being on the deep or shallow side, the pics helped clear that up big time 👍👍

[@FilipinoBMW]

I love the pumps! Had a med sized striper off of the pumps around old Herman and Helen's, with a brush hog of all things, a couple years back.

[@InformativeFisherman]

That's cool, never hooked a striper on a hog

[@CUSSTER100]

damn Nick i've been fishing for years and determined to learn how to fish for Stripers but always a hit and miss . Been fallowing you for a few years now . Got to tell you this was a great video , thank u for being so honest its a great help for guys that are just trying to not get skunked so much like I do ,lol

[@yippikiyay197]

Ditto lol

[@InformativeFisherman]

Glad to help bro, thank you!

[@hellaintabadplacetobe6300]

Extremely informative. I stay in Warrior mode. Thank you Sir.! Slaying Bass up here in NC. Keep those videos coming....please.

[@johnavila3172]

Thanks for the info. I live by the Delta. I wondered what side of the tide they sit. Thanks. I knew it had something to do with it.

[@mmatalk3817]

Knowledge is power! great job Nick.

[@ERone43]

Great video. I agree with every word. Sure is rewarding when they whack your lure like a freight train. Nice seasonal breakdown. I fish every area you mentioned on a regular. Found some good ones yesterday on my handmade lures. Cheers Man

[@cesarmedrano3344]

Great information, thanks for the tips and map areas, but now I know a ton of people will be trolling these places. But the river is huge and there are many many more areas just like the ones described here.

[@HKSlays]

Nailed it on this one, Nick. Spot on advice and nice edit!

[@coachMiguelfishing]

Awesome info nick!! Going to have a lot of ppl upset 😂... but guys like my son and I appreciate it.. some of us just don’t have the time and money to get out on the water as often as we would like... so thanks a lot man 👍🏼

[@mastermouaable]

coach Miguel fishing; if you know the right kind of people they will share the spots. It doesn’t guarantee you that will catch anything. Just like Nick mention Striper travel 8 miles a day.

[@sozov.1102]

This information/ technique applies also to the c.a. Aqueduct. Water flow areas pumps and gates from los banos to kettleman city. Nick you should already have 800k sub for all your knowledge that you share with the locals here in California

[@lisadiaz9271]

Totally dig your videos, we fish bacon island areas, from the banks,, nothing big yet

[@ballzybaits4414]

Revisitng this video... Need some tips for late Feb/early March fishing for Rio Vista area...Coming in from SoCal so I don't have access for prefishing. Anything would be greatly appreciated. tnx!

[@9milli4u46]

I live at the Pittsburg Marina do you have any pointers for on shore bait fishing? I use Shad and anchovies with a Carolina rig.

[@mmatalk3817]

Very good and thorough video! One quick question which lower are you using to catch the fish on the cover from the video it's white with the red face can you put a link in to the company so I could buy the lure?

[@mmatalk3817]

Information that works today! Thanks for all your advice Nick "og fisherman" wealth of knowledge.

[@fjfishing3546]

Where is the best boat launch to launch from? Would be coming up from Bakersfield and would be first time fishing the Delta.

[@lukep1754]

What size baitcaster is best for these stripers? Here in the bay I use a 4000 size-spinning reel, and occasionally a smaller bass baitcaster. I was thinking of getting another baitcaster for striper as well? What would u recommend

[@ScooterBlia2]

Missing the striper fishing. Wished there was a summer bite without soaking bait. Can't wait till the fall.

[@saelee33]

I know this is off topic but can you just tell me which slough holds crappie? I'm willing to search but just need to know which slough. Thank you. Great video.

[@InformativeFisherman]

This time of year most ever semi or very dirty dead end has them or creek leading in does, also search marinas

[@rcolligan]

Great video, Nick. Love it.

[@nqi87]

Where can I find these water pumps? Is there a map I can find that shows these places? This is not the same as a boat pumping station to remove sewage, correct?

[@HeyUncleA]

nqi87 the pumps are used on many of the delta farms to water the fields. So there are probably hundreds to thousands of said pumps all over the delta. Edit. Search KZbin for delta spots. Or buy an old fashioned delta fishing map available at many local tackle shops; has all the spots. And yeah... don’t fish sewage pipes, eww.

[@theschmerbs435]

I’m trying to get to the delta ASAP I like and subscribed..got a boat just looking for some spots to try

[@rudyanzaldo6954]

What’s up brother I have a question for you I’m from LA and my friend is thinking of taking his boat out there were could we get in the water on the boat we are going this weekend

[@nickk4010]

Come to the Petaluma river to school me man! Haha I have a boat but the big stripers in the Northbay are few and far between.

[@InformativeFisherman]

sounds like fun!

[@dustingrubbs8636]

First I think you guys are amazing. My wife not so much because I watch your channel a lot lol. JK. She likes you guys. Anyways. I have a question: Have you guys ever tried to fish for stripers or even largemouth.smallies with a popping cork? This is VERY EFFECTIVE down south and we do get stripers down there too. I am new to the area and looking to both learn how you guys do things here (Northern Cali) and also maybe transfer some of my knowledge from fishing inshore on the gulf coast of Mississippi and Louisiana. We used live shrimp and bull minnows and we also used artificial swim baits and shrimp. The reason I ask is I have looked and I can't find anyone using this tactic anywhere here. Its such an effective tactic for shallow water and with multiple species. I am learning that you guys use a lot of swim baits for various applications/species and also top water. This technique uses both. It makes sense to me that it would possibly work. Any ideas?

[@johndoe-pb4mv]

Wohoo, all my fishing area revealed!!! hahaha. jk. it isnt a secret. Everyone knows these area by now. Awesome stuff my man!

[@InformativeFisherman]

Lol, my bad

[@ThatOneGuyMatt]

Hey nick at contra loma in antioch a 25lb striper was caught deep in the middle, should come out

[@InformativeFisherman]

Sounds like fun to me!

[@pope6770]

What about shore fishing? I’m only 13 so I don’t have my own boat, where would be good for shore fishing, would Franks be good? If anybody has advice I would really appreciate it, or any advice for Largemouth, smallmouth, or Salmon would be appreciated too, because I might try and get into Salmon fishing as well, but for now I’m for bass

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

No big stripers like that in the ocean now. I guess all big stripers are in delta area and Sacramento river. I only catch 20 inch striper.

[@davidcardenas1475]

I just lost a 25lb striper at 132 in Modesto... man I’m bummed

[@suethao7940]

delta goes through Modesto?

[@alldaytony2751]

Sad thing is you can give all the info and some guys still wont get it.

[@mastermouaable]

Paddle Tales; because they want you to hand feed them right to the exact spot.

[@snazzyshun2791]

It's a good thing. A good chance at a trophy is given to those who really want it. Everything is there.

[@alldaytony2751]

I just like to catch, big or small dont matter. Last two outings i've caught a good five pounder. That good enough for me.

[@alldaytony2751]

The thing is fisherman should know where the bigger ones are already. The bigger one gotta eat, so everybody should know duh where theres alot of bait thats where they going to be. Its simple but for whatever reason people are clueless. They just dont wanna put in the time. I dont care about trophy fish, casting 3-6oz baits all day sucks.

[@colbygomes8121]

Ur right not much over 10 lbs up past lathrop and stockton 😉😂😂 i appreciate that a lot btw 😀

Never heard of it, I will look into it. Pyramid in so-cal correct? It could be zoo plankton feeding deal
