![]() ![]() The next Striperz Gone Wild tournament is the second annual Haley Lauchland Memorial Aqueduct Tournament on April 22 at the Hilldale Bridge. ![]() Carp are found on dough bait while largemouth bass are taken on plastics in the eddies before and after the headgates.” Mickey Clements of Coyote Bait and Tackle in Morgan Hill confirmed the solid catfish bite, saying, “There hasn’t been much flow lately, and catfishing with anchovies is best while striped bass are hard to find in the dirty water.” We expect the striper bite to take off in the coming weeks with the warmer weather. In the south aqueduct in Kern County, Cope’s Tackle and Rod in Bakersfield reported, “Wide-open flows in the aqueduct continue to create tough fishing conditions, and the best bet has been to soak chicken livers, cut baits, or dip bait for catfish. The temperatures are supposed to be in the 80s this weekend, and with the lack of fishing pressure for months, the bite should be really good.” Tas Moua of 559 Fresno Bait and Tackle said, “The striper action is starting to pick up south of Manning Avenue with jerkbaits such as DuoRealis 120 SPs or 130 SPs.” Bill Sterling of Striperz Gone Wild added, “It has been tough for a long time in the aqueduct due to the cold, muddy water, but spring is clearly on its way, and we expect some great fishing in the coming weeks. The aqueduct continues to transfer cold, muddy water from the south Delta into the massive water conveyance system, but the flows have slowed due to San Luis Reservoir being 2 feet from capacity. ![]()
