AQUEDUCT NEAR TAFT : Stripers remain good with the best bite on the sand worms, blood worms, Gitzits, and shad-like cranks. Most of the fish are in the two to three-pound range, which means many are under the 18-inch minimum size. Lots of moss in water now, so anglers doing the walk-drifting method are the most successful.

The aqueduct bite was slow. We were south off of Taft highway just past a gate.The gate was open half way and the weeds were a mess. Out of 15 Anglers two fish were caught A 12" Catfish and a 12" Striper. Both of them were off the bottom with chicken liver. We moved down the road quite a bit past Tupman to try out a bridge.  There was quite of bit of activty on top water but whatever was in there didn't want the Anchovies or Shad that we floated by. Working a buzz bait didn't catch any ones attention either.
