The striped bass fishing at San Luis reservoir remains one of the better locations to fish for stripers where anglers are using a variety of methods and techniques to catch fish. Most are casting jerk baits and top water lures for some quality fish weighing as much as 25 pounds. Most of the fish are being marked at 55 to 70 foot levels where they have been in the feeding mode. At San Luis reservoir the water temperatures remain warmer for this time of year where they are holding near the 60° range. Anglers are trolling, casting the shorelines or using bait for school size fish in the 20 to 26  inch category, but it is important that you realize that you have to hit the right bite window or it may be a long day. Some of the better lures also working are Ripbaits and Zoom Magnum Flukes and white or white ice on a half inch jig head for both boaters and Shoreliners while the Storm WildEye swim baits in white or shad color patterns are working along the main lake points in the mornings and evenings. The best action is taking place at low light in the evenings and mornings. The lake has risen to 84% of capacity due to the increased pumping out of the South Delta.
