Sharing tips and tricks to land your personal best, from rigging gear to knowing where to find fish and game. From fishing monster bass, striper, crab, steelhead, salmon, crappie, trout and kokanee to air rifle hunting coyote, squirrel, duck, goose, turkey and deer, I’ll teach you how to find, catch and even cook ‘em. Learn how tidal waters and boat positioning can make or break your trip. Teaming with videographer, editor and producer Denise Loo, we’ll fish the Delta, lakes and the ocean.
I’ve fished multi-species my whole life and in over a hundred tournaments, often placing in the top ten. Working in the tackle industry, giving seminars, and designing rods and swimbaits, I’ve thrown just about everything. I know what works and, more importantly, what doesn’t...so you don’t waste your money. Co-starring in Fun Fishing TV and having owned restaurants, I enjoy catch and cook. I just love everything about the sports of fishing and hunting and hope to share my passion with you!

Golden Mussels in Calif Delta
Amador has been planting tagged money fish too!
Big ass bass
Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸
Early in season I'll have more bad days than good but love them good days! Next couple months best chance for the big gals
Nice bass!! Enjoyed your weekly report, thanks Alan!!
Thanks for watching! Just trying to help
Hello alan what is your size of chatterbait do you prefer very nice teaching
When I'm in 2-4ft I use 3/8oz and in 4-8ft 1/2oz and in the wind 1/2oz. I reel real slow to get the chatter bait to go more side to side. I'm using a 5:1 gear ratio reel and matching the rod real important also
😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Big bass and it looks to be a good year with this high water
Tommy from Fremont now relocated in COLORADO nice to see you at ISE in Sacramento on the demo tank. Still listen to Sactown sports every Saturday morning up here in the Rockies...
Good to see you there, man! Hope you're liking the Rockies. Bet it's cold and how's the fishing there?
Yep..Fish Cherry Creek lake right down the street frozen now has Crappie trout walleye still listen to Sactown sports this morning show was pretty funny hope to get back out next year GB double G. TF
Sorry Alan your not Double G that's the other guy ha..
What part of the delta are you hitting. Nice hawgs Thanks Alan
I'm up north off the Mokulume river and the other day it was starting to get muddy with all this rain. Looks like I just hit it just right!
Wow! Awesome catch! Can't wait to get out there.
It's gonna be a good year with all this water. Might have to wait for the water to clear up now that it has rained a lot this week. I hit it just right on Wednesday as it was getting muddier as the day went on. But you can find clean water in the back of these sloughs.
Great catch Allen! That blade runner facet head I only can find 1/4 oz . Where can I find 1/2 oz ? Are you fishing north or south of new hope? Thanks as always!
Hey Rob Bladerunner only has the faceted head in 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 & 3/8th but 1/2oz will be coming out soon. You can get at Regis Bait & Tackle in Freeport or Tackle warehouse. I'm fishing off the Mokulume river up north
What about the non fishing people that do not take their boats into the delta or any brackish water. I only use our boat at lake berryessa. This sucks!
So all you have to do is take you boat to Gone Fishing Marine and they will put a red tag on your boat for free. This works if you're not going to fish for thirty days. Then after the thirty days you can go to Berryessa and launch your boat. Then when you come out have them put the green tag on your boat (takes couple minutes) and then you can go back anytime. If you want to go sooner go on line to Solano County Water Agency and under Decontamination make an appointment at Steel Park or Markley Cove to get it done and you can launch right after and remember to have the green tag put on after you leave lake. These are offered for free. Solano will ask for a CCD and if you don't show up they will charge you $100.
Nice fish Fong.. that’s a big bass… You have to reach out to Steve Cooper. He’s go n through it with his boat. I feel his pain. Take Coop fish Fong. He loves it 2
My boat is down right now too! So I've been going with Warren. Not getting out very much as I'm taking care of my mom.
@ God Bless you and your momma. Much love for both of you.
Red on red I bet on the big girl!
Nope all bass caught on chart/wht blades
Thanks Alan, great report! Please offer updates on regulatory issues related to proposed changes to striped bass size and bag limits. Also, what are you hearing about the possibility of a salmon season being open this year? Lastly, any news on whether NorCal commercial entities that rely on salmon to make a living have been monetarily compensated by the government for season closures of the last few years?
Haven't heard anything on striper regs as it seems there will be no changes. Salmon season it doesn't look like it gonna happen, still waiting to hear. Last two years the Mokulume hatchery has had a great return on the kings but the Sac river hatcheries still low. The Salmon fishing community has NOT gotten any funds from the feds for salmon closure. Commercial salmon fisherman are struggling as they have no income from the salmon fisheries.
@ Thanks for your swift and comprehensive reply. I’ll continue listening to local Saturday morning radio fishing shows for updates on these and other important relevant issues.
Kent really got me this morning lol but always glad to help I like messing with Kent n Seps lol
Nice!!
We were striper fishing and nothing so we started bass fishing didn't expect to much as the water was 48-51* but I found them in 2-6ft water in grass. Caught fifteen bass with the 9.17# couple 5#ers and rest were decent fish.
Always look forward to your reports Alan. The bypass is really flowing now, should make Sturgeon fishing even better. Miss seeing you at the Sacramento store.
Yes the rivers are high and muddy. It's going to muddy up even where I was the other day up north. But after we get a week of sun and clear skies all heck gonna break loose. Stripers and bass will go on a feeding rampage!
Great episode and nice LMB. Alan, are you using the forward facing sonar a lot, like maybe more than 50% while you are in the Delta.
In the delta when I'm striper fishing in water deeper than 8ft I have it on always. When I'm in 2-6ft I leave it off. Fishing for bass in the delta I'm usually in 1-6ft in weeds and I don't use it at all! Once in awhile I use it for bass early in the year when I'm fishing weed break lines in 4-8ft so I can see the weeds and drop offs. As I line myself up and cast along the edge I catch most of the bass. My friends say its not fair lol It's a tool and I use it in lots of ways.
@ Thank you 🙏🏻
Nice toad Alan!
For this time year yes it was. I love this time year with all the fresh water it gets the bass into the spawning mode. They feed more even when it's cold to get ready for the spawn especially the big girls. And it can be super slow but when you find a pattern it can be lights out!!!!!! That day we started striper fishing and for three hours nothing. So I decided to go after bass even knowing the water temp was 51* Didn't take long before we started to hook up
Really nice fish. I forsee guys getting out the hammer and putting flat spots on the jig heads! Lol. Thanks for the report. I did fish with Austin Wilson Sunday. It was pretty tough. They raised the water and it kind of put the fish off the bite. But what a nice boat! So much room. We did manage to put 2 fish in the boat.
Any little thing helps lol. All the rivers are high now as they're releasing water with all the rain. If the American stays clear and levels off the fishing will bust open. Right now they're rising to fast. When you have high water the steelhead hug the banks.
Weather should be good this weekend 😊
Depends how muddy the water gets as there dumping into the bypass which will blow out the north delta around Liberty. The San Joaquin river should be ok.
🐖
Big girl for this early but they are chewing
Dayyyyyyyyyyyyyum! Nyyyyce fish!
What's up Bro and yes it was a toad. My friends said it was a teener and I said 9-10# and I was right on! Seen too many of em in my days lol
Where did you launch Allen
New Hope Marina. If we keep getting rain the Mok might get real high and the marina might go under water might want to call them first.
Congratulations 🛶🛶🎣🎣🐬🐬🚣♂️🚣♂️🚣♂️🐟🐟🐟🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks
Do you do this for other people? I have a jet boat I’m trying to get all hooked up Jones.
Go to info@alanfongoutdoors.com look under bookings shows what I offer. Did you want installing done?
I’ve watched a few videos on your landlocked kings for Berryessa looks good I heard the process to launch is a issue now any suggestions and what’s the process for being able to launch your boat in Berryessa I appreciate any advice for that lake and how to make my 1st trip to try it out for salmon Great videos keep up the solid effort and thanks for the helpful tips
Go to Solano County Water Agency and look under Decontamination. You have to reserve a date at either Steel Park or Markley Cove to get boat decontaminated and then you can launch after it's done. Then when you leave have them tag it with green tag so you can go back anytime if tag is still attached. It's free but if you don't show up it will cost you $100
As always a great report. Thank you for keeping us informed ... tight lines and screaming drags!
Thanks for watching! Hope you get out there and catch some fish!
Afternoon Where is a good place to launch when fishing snodgrass slough with a 21 ' jet boat??
New Hope Marina or Wimpy's there next to each other
Love your content❤
Thanks just helping out
afternoon Does anyone know where this launch ramp is??
I either launch at Hog Back Marina or Arrowhead Marina
I took your spot Saturday with Austin. But switched back to Sunday. Saturday looks like it might be a little nasty. Ill let you know how it was. God bless you for taking care of your mom.
Thanks for the well wishes, and hope you get a big one!
Just wondering what was the issue with the motor?
High pressure fuel pump needs to be rebuilt already sent out
great video! If you are bank fishing, is it better to fish on high tide or low tide?
Always high outgoing tide the best for stripers as they feed on shallow sand bars
Sounds like a regional plan for decontaminated boats should be implemented. We are in the same state after all
Yes the water districts need to use Solano county’s system with green tag so boaters can go all lakes with green tag on boat!
Solano County has a tagging system they’re using now. Be nice if all water districts used this system .
I have a Question? Did your family own the Fishing Boat Dealership on 47th Ave years back?
No that’s Bucks Outboard and it’s still there. I hung around there all the time as Jerry n grew up together.
I like Honda motors Alan. I have had issues with her B4 2. I’ll still fix her up when she makes me cry. The rain will bring out the fish this weekend. It’s not gonna B2 bad of a storm. I’ll try my best to get out N Fish.
Warm storm get them fish going! Just need about 4 degrees! Lol
@ wait N 🎣

Thank you for the information. Question ,were or who did your steel covers you have in your back yard. Looking for something after I get my cement work done in the back. I will still be looking for you in the north area for my autograph
Car Ports n More INC (916) 376-7024 Bill Woods
Thank you for the information @@AlanFong
Went to Berry on Sunday got there at 11 am, got 3 in the livewell and lost 4. They are spitting out lots of small shads. Crappies are roaming around in small groups. Getting huge squa fish around those schools of bass. It's always fun going there. Want to hit the delta, but will loose the green tag errrr.
Thanks for the info. Yes the shad are only 1" long, need to find the 3-4" shad and you'll catch bigger fish
Thank you for the report and also the instructional videos on your channel! It helps newbie like me have more fun when we go out.
Your very welcome and hope you learn from my videos
😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The river was getting pretty clear up around knights landing and the ramp is open but this 7 days of rain is going to get it muddy again for a few weeks.
Yes were suppose to get a lot of rain in the next week or so. If they dump water out of Shasta and Oroville the river will get muddy again. But if it warms up the delta I can wait for it to get cleaner
Thanks for the update! Did you notice if they were letting kayaks launch without quarantine at berryessa?
Yes I did as long as they don't have an electric motor on it
Keep the reports coming. Very much appreciated.
Thanks and I'm talking care of my mom 95yrs so I'm not getting out as much. She getting better so I'll get back out there soon
Much love! Please bring back that Intro! Thank you Alan
The Fun Fishing song lol
great video, whats the right rod for swimbaits?
For the 5" with 1/2oz jighead I use a 7'5" MH action rod. Anything from 7-71/2 ft M or MH will work fine
@AlanFong thanks
I have not seen 1 TRUE PHOTO of these things from any of our lakes. STOP THIS GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED MONEY AND CONTROL GRABBING B.S. NOW! PURE BULLSHIT!
Real early and their learning more and more about these mussels. I'll never see the damage in my life time but my grand kids might.
Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸
We went out yesterday 1.24.25. Rio Vista.. Sherman from the boat.. Three fish on three fish off on jumbo minnows. I tossed lures till my arm hurt. So sad this morning 🎣
What was visibility water clarity?
@@AlanFong very good around a foot and a half I could see my lure. The closer we wet towards sandy beach it was cleaner. We launched out of Sherman island.
Should be some stripers out there
