Striper and salmon are in Steamboat Slough-last week of September 2012

Just a reminder to some of the frustrated fishing folks...if you leave your catch on a line in the water, native preditors will assume you are feeding them!

Photo of a large catfish caught off the docks by the young man, not his dad!  Dad helped hold it up for the cameras though.

Sturgeon caught off the docks at Snug Harbor lat week of January 2010

December 2009 legally caught but released salmon-caught north of Sacramento where salmon fishing is or was allowed for a time.  Does it make any sense to anyone that salmon is banned at one end of a river and not at the other end of the river?

Want some good fishing recipes?  Take a look at "Delta Delights and Delectable's" by Snug Harbor manager Vicki Vann!
Lucky that Vicki is married to Gene, who knows how to catch those Delta fish!

Superbowl Sunday 2009 Gene managed to watch the game AND land a large steurgeon off the docks of Snug Harbor.




Dan and Jerry show off their striper breakfast caught on Steamboat during their latest visit to Snug Harbor.


From the photographer:  The fish picture of the stripers is from Easter Sunday, the fish were caught in Steamboat Slough right in front of the docks at Snug Harbor!  My son Bradly Kobylczak and friend Suzie caught the stripers with the assistance of the fishing guide service of Fish Hunter, the fish were caught trolling using  Yo-Zuri lures ! (shallow divers) what a great Easter find that was.  The other fish (the sturgeon) were caught on 3/27/09 on the Sacramento River using pile worms for bait.  The size of Suzie's fish was 8 1/2 pounds and Bradly's fish was 4 1/2 pounds, we also caught 6 other fish that weekend but no pictures were taken.  What a great fishing weekend.  The sturgeons the I caught (the little guy) fish was caught by Gene Kobylczak the fish was 50 inches and the big guy Stan Martins fish was 51 inches. 


Nothing like catching breakfast at sunrise!

Pictured below are a few photos of folks and their fish at Snug Harbor

 

Photos from 2003 and before:

        

     The California Delta region of California offers experienced and novice anglers alike the opportunity for catching many varieties of fish. Most common are Stripers, Black Bass, Blue Gill, Catfish, Sturgeon and Salmon.  

Winter:  November through February you may catch the Salmon or the Sturgeon in large sizes, as well as Black Bass, Stripers and Cat Fish. 

Fall months: September and October you can also catch the Salmon, Stripers and Black Bass. Catfish are biting, but we don't see the Blue Gills aren't.  Sometimes we see a Flounder, which aren't even supposed to be in the delta!  Pictured right is Buddy with a Buddy with a few stripers.

Spring:  March through May the waters can be muddy, and its harder to catch that large striper.  Fish seem to stay closer to the banks or deeper in the middle of the rivers and sloughs, so its the experienced anglers that have the best luck at this time of year.  Catfish and Carp are along the banks...but who wants to eat a Carp?!

Summer: June through August the weather is hot but the fishing is not.  Summer Anglers can still catch edible catfish, stripers and blue gill right off the docks at Snug Harbor using live bait, such as worms.   

  

 For many regular Snug Harbor visitors and staff, fishing is not just a hobby but a passion.  If you're a novice, you'll find others are happy to help you learn to put on a hook, bait, tie knots, cast correctly and other important procedures.  Our motto at Snug Harbor is:  "There's no strangers here...only family, old friends and newly-found friends".  Come, catch the fishing bug with us!

Don't know how to cook or prepare that fish you just caught?  Might want to check out our Snug Harbor recipe pages for great tasting ideas!
