WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 4 2019 5BNewsMODBEE.COM Valley Delta Mendota Canal and Sloughs Striper 3 Catfish 2 In the northern section of the aqueduct, Steve Newman of Valley Rod and Gun in Clovis said, aqueduct is getting really good with jerkbaits such as Duo Realis 120s and Lucky Craft 128s in white or shad patterns along with topwater lures. We are selling a number of hard baits for the aqueduct, and anglers are searching for boils as the water is clearing up, and the bait is mov- ing through and holding near the In the southern section of the aqueduct in Kern County, Pete Cormier of Bait in Bakers- field said, aqueduct has been on fire for striped bass, and we have been selling plenty of blood worms and jumbo min- nows along with flukes with a chartreuse tail, tube baits, and Call: Valley Rod and Gun in Clovis 292-3474; Bait Bucket 661-833-8657 Lake Don Pedro Bass 2 Trout 2 Kokanee 0 King salmon 0 Crappie 2 The bass bite is still tough, but Ryan Cook of Ryan Fishing reported a better quality of largemouth to 4 pounds has been found on glide baits recently, and the jig bite is picking up. The best action has been found from 20 to 40 feet, and once again, finding bait is the key. The American Bass Association is holding a tourna- ment at the lake Saturday Call: Monte Smith Gold Country Sport Fishing 209-581-4734; Kyle Wise Head Hunter Guide Service 209-531-3966; Ryan Cook Ryan Fishing 691-7008 McClure Reservoir Bass 3 Trout 3 King salmon 0 Kokanee 0 Crappie 2 Catfish 2 With the slower action at New Melones and Don Pedro for largemouth and smallmouth bass, Lake McClure, primarily a spotted bass lake, remains the best bets for bass fishermen in the Mother Lode. In addition, trout fishing remains solid for trollers pulling a variety of lures at depths to 45 feet along the south end.

Call: Ryan Cook Ryan Fishing 691-7008 McSwain Reservoir Trout 2 Steve Marquette said, trout plant is expected soon, and the holdover rainbows are providing some action for trollers with combinations as well as from the banks with salmon eggs or pink trout dough bait from the Handicapped Docks and the cabins. The lake had a plant since the 3,000 pounds of rainbow trout by the Department of Fish and Wildlife a few weeks back. Lake levels remain Call: McSwain Marina 209-378-2534 New Melones Bass 2 Crappie 2 Catfish 2 Trout 2 Kokanee 1 The bass bite remains a challenge, and top guides are working hard for 8 to 20 spot- ted bass in the 1.5-pound range per day. The best action remains at 60 feet with plastics on the drop-shot or shakey head.

In the Forebay, striped bass are plentiful, and topwater lures, jerkbaits or soft baits such as flukes are working along the edges of the grass. The bait fish are holding in the grass, and the striped bass are chasing the shad through the grass. Num- bers of stripers are the rule, but you will have to cull through a number of undersized stripers for a legal limit over 18 inches.

The revisions have led to an outcry from fishermen throughout California, and the subsequent meetings have featured num- bers of anglers speaking up on behalf of the future of the striped bass.

The Commission has proposed these changes previously; most recently in 2012, but an impressive showing of fishermen were able to lead to the president of the commis- sion recognizing the striped bass as a native species during the 2012 meeting. The meeting in which the commissioners will vote on the proposed changes will be Wednesday, December 11th at the Natural Resources Building on 1416 Ninth Street in Sacramento starting now at 9:30 a.m. The meeting time has been changed from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Those entering the building must possess a photo identification. The San Joaquin-Delta is cooling down, and more and more striped bass are starting to move up and into the system.

Previously most striper fisher- men have been targeting Liber- ty Island on the Sacramento River system, but with the current rainy and windy condi- tions, the linesides are moving up from San Francisco Bay and into the San Joaquin. On the San Joaquin River, Dan Mathisen of Dan Mathisen Out- doors said, have been finding striped bass in Mildred, Little Mandeville, and Woodward Islands, and this southern storm is bringing warmer water into the Delta. The warm moisture should move the stripers into the system, and things will finally settle down as the storm subsides. The strip- ers are getting fatter and fatter, and the bite should improve. The stripers on the Liberty side will be moving, and more and more linesides will be arriving into the Stockton Turning Basin, the main San Joaquin River, and Wood- ward Island.

Before now it is all been Liberty Island, but if the wind arrive in force, the San Joaquin will be in play. For largemouth bass, punching the weeds is still Call: Randy Pringle 209-543-6260; Captain Steve Mitchell 707-655-6736; Vince Borges Outdoors 209-918-0828; J.D.
