Sacramento river delta - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

catchnfish · 02-15-2011, 08:01 AM

Hi all a couple friends and I are making a trip up to the delta in search of some big female striper's in April one p not two. Years ago I fished there from the shore but I am new to kayaking and was wondering if anyone knew of any good places to put in. Or if you had any good stories of fishing up there to further fuel the fire. Thank you

When I lived up there we went on a fishing expedition and found a place that produced great numbers of fish. Sherman Point area is great to fish in. The baits we used were night crawlers and Anchovie chunks. At times you could count to 5 and sometimes not even that long and you were getting hit. You may even get some nice LMB there also hang on if you hook into a sturgeon.

For locations of a boat launch you may want to check this link to see if they can direct you to a good launch. The Marina may have an area for launching.

We've been getting some good inside info from some other sources as well but none from a kayaker perspective. It is myself and catchinfish for sure on yaks and maybe one more kayaker going plus some shore fishers. If your interested let's talk we may end up reserving a whole campground if enough people want to go.

Let me work on this one awhile, I did get in touch w/ JT in Redding last night, but he didn't have time to chat, will call him again and pick his brain, do you have a area in mind so I can see what my travel time will be,
and we will go from there...
BTW March 5-6 we are planning a Shelter Island trip, several peeps already in if you guys are interested...b

The area we are looking ay camping at is just outside of antioch. We plan on driving up Friday night and hopefully be fishing by 9am and leave Monday afternoon. I need to see what I can work out for the island trip you offered. I may be able to make it one of the days.
