The California Delta and its connection to the Sacramento River offer up some of the best striper fishing around this spring. You've got that network of sloughs and tidal channels cutting through the landscape, with tules standing tall along the banks and levees shaping the flow. The water moves with the tides, creating pockets where baitfish gather and stripers come looking for an easy meal. It's the kind of place that rewards a little patience and the right local knowledge.

Brandon Abernathy with RodDown Guide Service has been putting clients on good numbers of fish lately. These stripers don't mess around when they hit, and the fights are the kind that get your blood pumping.

“Another great morning on the Delta with multiple fish landed. They decided only to keep 2.”
