Light Tackle Delta Striper Secrets

Light Tackle Delta Striper How-to Guide

The California Delta offers awesome striper fishing, but let’s face it… it’s also an incredibly intimidating place.

With over 1,000 miles of channels, sloughs and flooded islands, finding and catching striper can be a daunting task. The question I most often get from folks is: “Where the heck do you begin?”

In this how-to guide, I cover everything you need to get out there and start catching fish. I’ll share with you the valuable striper techniques I’ve learned from my 16 years of guiding, from understanding tides, to the structure stripers prefer and what exactly you need to look for in a spot.

This how-to guide is loaded with color photos and diagrams that will help you unlock the gigantic puzzle that is the Delta!

Okay, so how much does this cost? Light Tackle Delta Striper Secrets is available for just $2.99 at the following websites:
