May 20; Brian Vaile caught this fish on the outgoing tide. Shad, 29", light tackle. Sacramento River just East of Sherman Lake.	March 6: Mark Fehrenbach of Rio Vista caught this nice sturgeon near Rio Vista with ghost and grass shrimp for bait. It was a great day sunny and warm. This fish was very strong. The fight was very fun.	Jan 31: Mark Fehrenbach of Rio Vista writes: It was a pleasant day on the water. I was using shrimp for bait. The fight was great. The fish jumped 2 times. Turned the boat to which ever direction it ran. Finally, the fish was tiring out, but had enough strength to head for the anchor line. No problem I landed him by myself. All in all this was another great Sturgeon experience.
Dec 7: Terry caught this 42" Striper from the shore at Tracy Wildlife Assoc. (Old River)	Nov 7-8: Mark FehrenbachI fished with friend Dean. On both trips we went to middle ground and the cuts and caught stripers. In the pictures you will see Dean holding a nice 10 1/2 lbs striper and me holding a 8 1/2 these we caught on bullhead.	Nov 8: Mark FehrenbachI. Everyone that fishes enjoys the excitement of the run when they pick up the bait and start stripping line.
Nov 9: Mark FehrenbachI fished with his Dad and caught a nice 14 lbs. Striper on shad as they would not take live bullheads this day.
