What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Bethel Island, California for the first time?

Not as good fishing conditions as other months, but you can still catch fish. We weren’t able to catch any fish from the dock on Bethel Island where we were staying but much of that was limited by stormy weather. On a bass charter we were able to catch 1 largemouth bass and 1 striped bass. In February fishing is OK but not as good as spring and summer.

If you've never fished the Delta, this is a great starting point. All services available. June was a bit tough because of the post spawn, but whether or not you catch fish, being on this water is a treat. Beautiful place!

It’s one of the best fisheries in the world and there are hundreds of miles of water to explore. Getting a guide like Frank is a great way to get started.

If you are fishing the area for the first time, don't hesitate to book with Captain Frank. You will be glad you did.

Be prepared for a high temperatures and power fishing. Knowing how to use baitcasting equipment is a must.
