8/10: Montezuma Slough was a productive spot this week. Striped bass were hitting well on trolling yozuris in red and white, while cut bait like anchovies and sardines brought in consistent bites. Live bait upped the quality of the catch for those who had it. Sturgeon anglers reported success with roe and ghost shrimp, especially near deeper holes.
The weather was cool with light wind, creating perfect conditions for a solid day of fishing. The variety in bites kept the day engaging and left everyone planning their next trip back.
