Fiskadoro, you are right on the money about the striper cycle. 5 years ago you stood a reasonable chance of catching a 20+ pound striper up at DVL, they were caught weekly during the trout season. Those fish just aren't there anymore, they've been replaced by hordes of 3-5 pounders. Same thing happened at Skinner back in the day, these fish just aren't really suited for landlocked resevoirs. Although it will never be like it was(it was fantastic) you will occasionally have years where the big boys will show( like at Skinner 2yrs. ago). If you've never fished the California delta for big stripers, its a must. The fact that they spend time in the ocean means they are bigger and even a little meaner than the lake versions, what a killler fishery up there.
