From Nov-Jan you can find seagulls dive bombing on the delta threadfin shad as the schools of stripers push them up to the surface from underneath. Follow the birds and you’ll find the fish. We dropped 2-3oz P-Line Laser Minnows down to them and started spooning. You can easily limit in a matter of minutes if the fish is directly below you. Trolling Alabama rigs until you find the main school is something I suggest doing!
Hey Alex. It was nice to meet you out there. Was in the purple/white Skeeter with my brothers. Glad you guys got them too. It was one of those epic days. I got a 15lber right after you headed toward the ramp. Nice battle. Take a look at the Blade runner spoons. 1.75 oz. You will notice a difference. They really hook more fish. The guy that designed them, Rick was fishing arou d us that day as well. We hooked over 40 fish that day. Hope to see you on the water again soon. I have a Titan 10.5....but much easier to hop on my brothers boat. Hes a member.
Talking to you was probably the highlight of that day for me. Glad you got a huge one! I met Rick before at Camanche north shore boat ramp and at the time before he even released it, he gave me a handful of weedless jig heads. I have 4 of the blade runner spoons and they definitely have a better hookup ratio. Hope to see you out there again and I will keep an eye out for ya!
Cool video 👏
@ thank you!
@@FishingWithAlexShey bud why is it that you turn your pole upside down when doing that jerk motion? Like in the 8 minute mark of the video
@ it’s because I was using the wrong setup for jigging. Each time I jigged it up, my line would wrap the guides so I turned it around 😂 that’s what happens when you throw giant glide baits and huge whopper ploppers, it twist your line.
That enthusiasm alone bro! Great job young man subbed
😆 thank you!
The port always produces. Nice catch bro!
Yup! Thank you!
Daaang man! That makes me wanna make the drive up there. I never fished that area before but it looks lit. Those B-roll shots at the end were fire too bro, all the boats going to the birds was pretty epic. Goodshit keep it coming
Haha the spot can be 🔥 but if the fish ain’t there, they will be like 10 miles down near the end of rio vista lol thanks bro. Appreciate your comments!
waddup my brother didn't know you became a youtuber... Keep it up with the great vids....
Sup homie! Thank you!
Wow you did great out there!!! Good stuff brother! 😊
Thank you! Appreciate it
Awesome catch man. The stripers are in. Keep the videos coming. 🔥
Thanks bro! It’s been a month since I seen one of your videos. You still fishing?
@@FishingWithAlexSyes sir. Dropping one this week. Stay tuned.
Great catches, Alex. Awesome trip😉 🔥 🔥
Thank you! Waiting for your vid to drop! 😝

AWESOME CHANNEL SIR!!
Thank you!
Awesome. Thanks for the update
Hell yeah went there last week there going crazy caught my limit fast must say it’s pretty packed there now gunna be x2 now cause this video 😂 love the vid 👌
That’s dope! Glad you got them. I know other TH-camrs who caught over 10 but yea, it’s like this each year around this time. One or two videos pop off and you’ll see a ton of fishermen out there
Especially, when the birds are working! 👍👍👍
Yes! Bam bam 💥
Wow cool video!
Nice catch sir
Thank you
You out there on a kayak I'm shook to even take my 17ft bass tracker out there😂
When the cargo ships roll through, you’ll see me rush to the bank 😂
Damn boyyy you popped up on my YT congrats
Lmao 🤣 that’s dope!
Where do you launch at? I seen bass boats out there where did they drop in at? Cool video good action.
Most of the bass boats came from the Club members only launch but a few travelled from Arrowhead harbor marina which is miles and miles away 😅
Holy smokes! I gotta go try! Good catch Bro! Those are some fattyyyyyyy❤
Nice catch!!!
Thanks!
We need a catch and cook bro! Awesome video as always
Plan to do a lot of them in the near future. Thanks bro!
Nice catch bro
Thank you
Damn been fishing sac my whole life and still never hit that spot lol. Kayak set up is dope.
I don’t blame you, the sac river will pop off soon. Thank you!
You guys know when the prespawn usually starts for Largemouth?
When does Striper take off?
Pre spawn for LMB is around early spring and when the water is in the upper 50s. Should be around the same time you hear about striper fishing in the Sacramento River. The stripers will pop off near the end of February or beginning of march. You’ll find them hugging the banks of the muddy river, sometimes just 15’ out underneath the flooded trees
@ damn bro thank you for the super helpful tips
with the laser minnow try dropping it down and speed reel it up a few feet and repeat. That instigates stripers to hit it hard. Here in Texoma we call that slabbing
Interesting. May have to try it next time. Thank you
Congrats 🙏🙏🙏🙏🚣🏿🚣🏿🚣🏿🐬🐬🐬🐬🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Love your video
Happy thanksgiving 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🚣🏿🚣🏿🚣🏿👍👍🎣🎣🐬🐬🐬
@ happy thanksgiving 🦃
No need for sf supermarket! Keep slaying out there🎣
Thanks bro! Appreciate the comment!
Like the video ,I fish out there a lot myself . I wouldn't advise eating any fish out of that water it's contaminated with heavy metals and a number of other stuff .
Thank you. Will keep that in mind
Dope vid! Any idea on where does the boats launch from? Or are they members of the lake Washington outboard club?
I talk to one of them and they came from arrowhead which is super far away and the rest are members of the club
@ sheeeeesssh! Yeah that’s a strike lol. Thanks for the info brotha! Tight lines! 🤙🏼
What’s all those factory around you guys? Depend on what they are I wouldn’t eat any of those fishes
Not sure but you can say the same for most places
You think the currents too much to be on a kayak with just paddles no trolling motor or pedals?
No current at all. When the tide shift, you’ll get a small amount of current but definitely not noticeable on a kayak. The winds will be the issue so plan ahead!
@FishingWithAlexS right on! Thx
Dang I wish I got out there the last weekend!
My cousin and homie went back today and got their limit. All from trolling Alabama rigs. They didn’t see the main school
I don’t understand why you would tell everyone about a good spot my guy!
It’s pretty obvious I want to help others. I don’t ask for any likes or subs and I have 30 plus years of fishing in the Sacramento region. This spot has hundreds of videos and it’s common knowledge that it’s all about timing. Stripers will come and go days or even weeks at a time
@ I understand and I’m all about helping and teaching people how to fish, but it would sure suck to show up and find the 17 thousand people that watched this video in your spot! Just sayin man!
Congrats
Thank you!
Hairaiser will get em
They sure will
Nice catch…..You still working at Tar-J ?
Yup!
Hey, Alex. Is their a boat launch near their?
Closest one is probably arrowhead and it’s so far away. The one right at Lake Washington is for club members only
@ do you know how anyone can become club member and how much?
@ I have no idea
@@leeherr3556 Last I heard that it takes years probably someone has to die to open up a slot.
Do you know how the water is right now is it blown out?
Only inside of the canal but it’s clear in Lake Washington
If u dont mind me asking what fish finder is that?
It’s a lowrance elite 7ti
So much fish, need to do a cycle count!
Bro lmao 🤣
The port?
Yup 👍🏼
Was there a couple weeks ago. All I caught was a small bass; no Striper.
They must’ve moved in. This school of fish will travel back n forth so it can be hard to find them
What’s the size limit and limit out there?.
18” and over, 2 per day and 2 max for possession limit at home
Where do you launch at?
At the barge canal access aka port of Sacramento. Small boats with wheels to pull and kayaks launch there
Where do I launch a boat out there?
Closest launch is for Club members only. Barge canal access can launch kayaks and small 10’ boats which will need to either have wheels or two person to carry lol The next one is pretty far away at arrowhead harbor marina
West Sacramento Rowing club launch ramp. I think it's $175.00 per year. Not bad if someone does a lot of fishing. And when Salmon fishing is opened up again even better.
where is the boat launch
The closest launch is only for club members. The next one is just not even worth the trip from arrowhead marina
Is there bank fishing there
A lot of bank fishing access but a very long walk to the mouth of Lake Washington from barge canal access parking lot
how do I launch a boat here ?
You can launch small 10’ boats that have wheels on it from barge canal and the use the same ramp the kayakers are using. Besides that, the launch at Lake Washington is for club members only. You can also launch at arrowhead but that’s so sooo far away
Are you ever worried of a seal snagging your fish on the stringer?
They got pretty close to it a couple of years ago but there aren’t any in this area right now
Seal's & bull sharks are a delta issue. I never line fish in the delta on my YAK. flipping in the delta isn't good 😂.
Stay safe. Pre-cut , cut bait so you don't have a bait trail under your yak. Bull shark's bite not bump.
@ are there really bull sharks in cali? Never heard of any but that would be scary lol
@ I’ve never heard of bull sharks in Cali either. Alex have you ever had an encounter with a seal?
@@FishingWithAlexS yaaa, bro FK YA there is. 🤣. Be safe.
How's the water doesn't look like chocolate milk ?
3 ft of visibility at Lake Washington but chocolate milk in the canal
@FishingWithAlexS still catching though. It's was super chocolate milk down here at rio and SJ delta. No luck luck or hits for us. But let's see how it is next week. Was smacking it right before all the rain.
@@Fishingjunkie-y8v Sound about right. Hope you can find them. Eventually, it will be muddy everywhere 😭
where does boat launch for that area?
Boat launch near by is a club only launch. The next closest one is probably arrowhead and that’s a long ride to Lake Washington lol small boats and kayaks are able to launch at Barge Canal Access
@@FishingWithAlexS can I launch a 16 footer from there ? I thought it said no motorized boats at barge canal access?
@ you definitely can not. There are 3 1/2-4’ wide gaps we have to drag our kayaks through from the parking lot to the launch ramp. I see small motorized boats go through there but I’m not sure of the regulations. Most kayakers have a motor (electric) including myself
@@FishingWithAlexS well where can I lunch a boat to make it back there?
@@catfishhunter3414 arrowhead but the main school of fish went down south so you would probably driving the boat pass them on the way to this spot 😂
Why are there even limits on this invasive fish that thrived without human regulations when they were first introduced 130 years ago by some rich easterners who missed catching them in Chesapeake Bay?
5 per person, 12” minimum will do lol
@@FishingWithAlexS I don't get why we want to preserve Strippers when they kill Salmon fry and we spend millions on trying to save native Salmon while protecting invasive fish that don't belong here.
EZ limit
The man I learned it from! The original DWC killa lol
@FishingWithAlexS credit to my Pastor Steven Vue for putting me on it first. I just mastered it from him. 🙏
baby stripers....babies
Nice catch bro, just subscribe to your channel. See you around.
Awww damn thanks bro! I’ve been subbed to you. Always killing it with the big homie ahhdat at hogan
@FishingWithAlexS , yes, I didn't know he was your homie too. See u around bro.
