Striped Bass Season is Here!

3-25-2024
Jeff Goodwin

The 2024 Striped Bass fishing season is about to take off on the Sacramento/Feather River systems and we're ready!  Striper camp is set up, live bait is available, and we have boats with a few available dates ready to take clients out for an exciting Striped Bass fishing trip with their friends and families.  This is a fishing season we offer every April/May during the Striper spawning migration to the areas above and below Colusa where they stage each year.  This a limited opportunity due to the short season but its one of our most popular venues year after year.  The action can be fast when fishing for these hard fighting fish and the reward at the end of the day often includes taking fresh Striper fillets home to share with friends and family.  We catch countless small/medium Stripers every season and we land a few big ones every year as well.  Last seasons biggest Striper was over 40 lbs!  Every year we have a boat down river at this time fishing for Stripers and laying out the plans for areas we will be fishing during our season.  I'm happy to report that we've already started catching some quality Striped bass in numbers and the season looks to be another great one!  We are seeing lots of water again this season and thats always a sign of more fish available during our season.  Some of our fishing opportunities in California have diminished in recent years but the Striper fishery is still hanging in there and should continue to do so for many years to come.  Its a great opportunity for people who like to fish at every level to come out and feel the power of these great fish even with little or no fishing experience.  We take pride in providing access to this fishery for hundreds of clients every season.  All of our professional Captains provide big comfortable river fishing boats, great fishing equipment, and have decades of experience on the water.  Each boat runs one trip a day and all of our trips are private meaning only your party will be on the boat during your Striper fishing trip. We look forward to sharing this great fishing opportunity with our clients again this year and can't wait to see you all! If this sounds like a fishing trip you are interested in experiencing, please call or text Jaynie at the reservation desk for more information and available dates.  (530) 510-2925.  Thank you!
