Ahhh. It's sturgeon fishing time again on the wonderful Kalifornistan Delta! I made my first cruise of the season down to Suisun Bay, just above San Pablo and San Francisco Bays, to try for a mighty sturgeon. I spent the night at anchor out in the remoteness of Suisun Bay, miles from anyone or anywh...

Having spent all summer doing other things or sittin' in the rocker, I finally got my old bones moving to load up the coach and boat for a few days on the California Delta near Rio Vista, CA chasing those salmon! It was a grand three days of fishing, and while a limit eluded me, I did manage a coupl...

Finally... this ol' wimp found the weather to be tolerable - high70s and even into the 80s - and actually headed out for some sturgeon.

I arrived at my honey hole on Suisun Bay about 1130 Tuesday morning. A huge outgoing tide was predicted an...

I launched into the Sacramento River at Rio Vista, then began a troll up river to the Old Sac, clear on up to Locke, CA, about a half days troll. It was a breezy day, and I had my hands full with keeping the boat on course, tending the lines, etc. In fact I gave up trolling two lines as it was just ...
