I've been down on the San Joaquin but after the road closes I'll be here more often. Haven't heard much from any of my guide friends, but I'd say typical late summer early fall techniques. Afternoons and evenings are probably better than the mornings at this rate. Water is pretty cold in the mornings which has messed with the hatches all summer long here.
