On the San Joaquin River there has not been much activity on striped bass fishing, but in the interim several largemouth bass tournaments were conducted out of Russo’s Marina on Bethel Island.  The New Jen Tournament produced several 5 fish limits exceeding 25 pounds by the team of Thomas and Steve Kanemoto with the big fish hitting the scales at 9.91 pounds.  The hot lure was spinnerbaits and chatter baits white in color with a double willow leaf blade.  One striped bass was caught in Frank’s Tract on a spinnerbait and the fish weighed an even 10 pounds.  Many sea lions have been observed on the San Joaquin where they have been seen barreling through the tules and eating largemouth bass.  As soon as the water clarity gets better so will the fishing.
