Del Valle Lake Fishing Report
6-17-2016
Del Valle Marina
GENERAL CONDITIONS
The weather this week has varied day to day. Some days are beautiful in the mid-80s with little to no wind. On the other hand we have had days that are atrocious with winds at about 25MPH and gusts up to 35MPH.
CATFISH
The Catfish bite is picking up with many anglers catching them from 2-8 LBS. If you target them look for cover (fallen trees, weed beds, Etc) the more cover the better chance to find a school). As the water warms up they are getting active. The best baits have been chicken livers, anchovies, mackerel and sardines. If you target the catfish, look for areas with cover, downed trees, and grassy areas with some place for them to hide. Most of the catfish that that are being caught have been in shallow water.
TROUT
Trout fishing is slowing down as the water temperature rises. Most anglers are reporting catches near the Dam where the water is still fairly cold. They have been fishing in areas with deeper water, about fifteen to twenty feet of water. The best bait to use has been: mice tails, Kastmasters, Rapalas, Powerbaits with a garlic scent, or night crawlers. Some deep diving lures have also been working.
BASS
Black Bass are still steady with anglers catching them from 2-5 LBS. Most anglers are getting them on weedless Senkos or roboworms around Thule patches, fallen trees and rocky points. You can also catch them on smaller jigs and crank baits.
STRIPED BASS
The hot bite this week is Striped Bass. Many anglers are catching limits averaging 4 to 6 lbs. Most anglers have been catching them out towards the dam off of points, but also in the lower narrows along the beaches. Best baits to use would be Anchovies, Chicken Liver, or Sardines. If you like to throw lures I would recommend jerk baits (Yo-Zuri, Lucky Craft, Etc.) or jigs (chatterbaits, hair raizers, Etc)
