Fished the Central Delta early. Water temp started at 54.5 and warmed to 55.5. Bite didn't pick up until 9am. We scored 15-20 shakers and schoolies using jerkbaits and bladed swimbaits. Fish were holding tight to rock points and berms. Still nothing on Topwater! Off the water at noon.

Fished a different zone out West. Not as many bites but, the grade was better. Finally got a solid DD on a Waver200! HK had a bigger fish on a swimbait that wrapped him in a tree a broke off! Ouch! Water was about the same temp, but vis was a shocking 2-3ft! Perfect stained green color.

Got out for the evening shift, back at the Central Zone. Same deal, wore out the shoolies til dark. 15-20 to the boat, biggest going 3lbs. I did hook a bigger fish that worked me over on my spin kit and 10# line. That's what I get for bringing a knife to a gun fight. I will not be switching out the line though, my goal for 2016 is a 20# fish on 10# line. Drag needs to be set just right and luck needs to be on my side. I did also get my fish TW fish of the year a small schoolie that took a 6" DWB! Spring run is taking off, can't wait for the next couple months!!
