I have sent the check and the applications to DFG. I should be getting the approval any day now.
Baring any major changes from DFG (which as of today none of my dates for 2026 aren't competing with anyone else) this will be our schedule for 2026.
- 10 regular season events.
- Bass, Badges & Veterans event
- (2) Pro/Am events with 10k first place prize (pro side) if we hit 60 boats.
- Rivalry on the River 2026!
And a 2 day TOC to top it all off.
Mark your calendars folks. You're not gonna want to miss this up coming season with us.

Attention all anglers!!!
I have made some adjustments to the membership dues for 2026..
It has been $80 per angler since the 2nd season. I have provided shirts to all members for joining. The past few years I always end up with random amounts of random size (dated) shirts at the end of the season.
So moving forward I have set up my online store to have the membership shirts available to order for $16. You can get as many as you want in whatever sizes you need from xs-5x.
With that said i will be lowering the membership dues to $60 per angler. I hope you will still order the shirts and if people dont maybe ill have to go back to how I was doing it before but this gives more options on colors and sizes and doesnt leave me with a bunch of dated shirts.
Thank you for all the support over the past 5 years. Looking forward to 2026!!

Wanted to clear the air on a few questions people have been asking..
- If you are a fishing guide on the California Delta. You are not eligible to fish our regular Delta series.
- What Guides can fish are both of our Pro/Am events, Bass Badges and Veterans event, and Rivalry on the River.
I will be posting more details on all the events later this week. As far as full pay scales for the 2026 season and all other events planned. Rules and everything else.
You will know exactly what the pay out will be if theres 8 boats or 78 boats.
Since the Pro/Am events will be top 20 fishing on day 3 I was considering doing a top 5 pay out so theres more money per spot. Otherwise 10 outta 20 boats get paid if we get 50 boats doing 1n5.. I think top 5 pay spots is the way to go. Thats just me im not even fishing it lol.

Welp this will be my first Pro/Am event. Please note it might not be like every other pro/am you have fished. Might be the same for some and different for others.
I always do things with the best intentions and how I think majority of the anglers would like to do it.
So with that said.
- 3 days of fishing.
- 90% payback on $600. $50 goes to options. (Pro side)
- 90% payback on $350. $50 goes to options (Am side)
- Combined weight with pro and am
- Top 20 make it to day 3
- Day 3 weights get zeroed out and you get a fresh start on day 3.
- Random draw on pairings
- no off limit period before the event
- Big fish and Target fish options included in fees.
- big fish pay spot per day.
- BBQ, raffle and booths set up on day 3.
- Top 5 positions get paid out of the top 20 boats who make day 3.
You must sign up 2 weeks prior to event. No late sign ups. April 24th will be the last day for sign ups on the pro side. Am side will go until its full.
