In this video I head out to Garcia Bend for my first striped bass trip of the year to see if the fish have started their annual spring run. Reports say stripers are moving through the river, so I set up two rods with blood worms and pile worms to try and land the first keeper of the season. I show my full Sacramento River striper setup, including a sliding sinker rig with 65 lb braid, 25 lb mono leader, and a 5/0 circle hook. I also explain how I search for fish by casting in different directions until I find where they are. After moving my casts around and checking bait frequently, I finally hook into a 24-inch keeper striped bass — the first keeper of the season! I also talk about: • Why early season striper fishing can be slow • The typical order of fish during the spring striper run • How to rig blood worms for striped bass • Why recasting often helps you find fish Spring fishing is just getting started, and once the main wave of fish arrives, the bite should only get better.
