Fishing on don Pedro lately has been interesting. Catching lots of fish hasn’t been a problem finding quality ones has been extra tricky as the bait is in 40-70 ft in most creeks. I fished a small 35 boat tournament this past Saturday and ended up taking second place and managed big fish of the […]

CA Delta Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander
The delta is fishing well for numbers and quality fish right now and catching them on basically anything you want to throw. Topwater like Rico poppers and river2sea rovers in Shad patterns have been working all day long with some crazy explosions and landing some fish up to 6 pounds. The punch bite still has […]
Lake McClure Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander
Hit Lake McClure this past Wednesday. I haven’t fished the lake being this low in years. Lots of smoke in the air which has made things cooler as well. I started off throwing topwater in pockets off of main points and put a few solid 2+lb fish in the boat on poppers and spook jr. […]
CA Delta Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander
August was a fun one on the delta. Smoke is finally starting to clear on the river. When the smoke rolled through the punch bite died for me. Fish left the mats and scattered. To catch better fish we had to throw a variety of top waters. You have to commit to it. Yes you […]
CA Delta Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander
I was able to put some time in the last two weeks on the delta. I burned a lot of gas and fished all over. I’ve been averaging 18-22 lbs as well as 30+ fish days. The mornings have been slow as the fish haven’t been aggressive. I’ve been starting out with slow baits like […]
New Melones Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander
Was able to get out on Melones earlier this week. We started out throwing deep crankbaits and a variety of topwater baits on main lake points and humps. In the first hour of doing this we could only manage a bunch of 2lb fish. So I ran to the back of a creek finding lots […]
Lake Camanche Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander
I’ve spend a couple of days the last month on Camanche. Catching numbers of fish is not a problem. Bigger fish have been harder to come by but at least getting a 5+ pounder a day. Knowing your mapping and where the humps with more structure has been key but you will find fish loaded […]
New Melones Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander
Water temp 79-84 I’ve been fishing New Melones for the past couple weeks. The water color changed and now has a nice green tent to it. In my opinion this makes the bite better and the fish don’t get as good of a look in your lure and go more off feel than sight. Fish […]
California Delta Bass Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander
I spent this past week on the delta fishing Wild West Bass Trail. I didn’t have a great tournament but squeaked a check. Crazy how many pre spawn fish and bed fish there still are but the majority are post spawn. I spent most of my time central delta and south. Fish are grouped up […]
Delta Bass Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander
I’ve been able to play a couple days a week on the delta for the past couple months. Fish are currently in all stages of the spawn. The majority of fish are post spawn but you would be amazed how many pre spawn and spawning fish there still are. My bigger fish lately on days with […]
