Striper Fishing with Valley Guide Service March - May 80 degree outside temperatures and 55-degree water temp is the first signs of the Striper Spawn on the Sacramento River. It is not unusual to land thirty or forty Stripers in an outing during this period of the run. We have mastered the technique of light tackle live bait fishing that is so successful at enticing the pre spawn and spawning fish. On a live bait trip expect multiple hookups on fish averaging from 3 – 12 lbs. with the occasional Striper topping 20 or even thirty pounds! Our boats are equipped with live bait tanks capable of holding 15 dozen baits. Every year we have several 30 - 40 fish days on keeper Stripers, keeping only a legal limit of males for the table and releasing the rest to spawn. We boated over 600 fish in the month of May out of one boat, not to mention over twenty five Stripers over twenty pounds! These trips are all light tackle with light action Loomis spinning and casting rods with Shimano reels provided for all guests. This is a great trip for the whole family, providing plenty of action to keep even the children interested.
