May 2025
Fishing has been slow for us so far this year. Regulations are the problem. We are optimistic about the opening of areas we can fish in May. Meanwhile, the delta has been slow, but Tom Kostik, Stan Wong, and Harry Sherinian caught stripers and black bass. Tom had to release a 5-foot sturgeon he caught, as we cannot keep any sturgeon this year. Ken Bellinder went to Mexico to catch 2 nice-sized sierra. Carl Moyer fished for deep water rockfish twice and caught limits of big fish. David Paulson caught a nice trout at Lafayette Reservoir. The only trout for a month at a time when we catch many. So many regulations. AND we now have a salmon season, but not much. A few days in June and July. A few more days in August, September, and October. Alas, most of us fishermen are too old for Pickleball!!
