Mark and I launched from Big Break Saturday and headed west. We covered mostly Sherman, Broad Slough and Collinsville areas. 20+ fish to hand today, no piggies. Pearl swimbait continues to work. Got beat up a bit in the wind which was definitely blowing better than the 5 MPH predicted on Windfinder. Hope to see the bite pick up with the cooling weather.
I fished south and east Feb 7 for a big fat zilch. Bass guys were doing ok. No pics, runs hits or errors.
I was able to squeeze in much needed water time on the Delta on Feb 15 after a week working a trade show in Anaheim.
Dangerous Dirigibles and I rolled over the Bethel Island bridge at sunrise.
Sugar Barge launch to clear skies and 60 degrees.
We headed northeast working likely spots on the San Joaquin. Incoming tide. All quiet in the usual spots. Further east we found birds, bait and a few lunging stripers working east of the Hwy 12 bridge. We commenced to pull on a few schoolies on swimbaits dragged right on the bottom. Spoon worked as well.
We did a lot of scouting down as far as Mildreds. Tons of bass boats up tight to the tulies but we wanted stripers.
I stopped on some of the holes draining out of Mandeville and worked a largemouth bite
Water temps ranged from 54-58 and clarity was still poor in most places. I will let the full moon pass before checking the delta again.
