Well my high schools anglers club is heading out to Del Valle for trout this Saturday and on Sunday im going to the delta with my dad as the usual. its been one of my goals to throw a hudd all day so im picking this trip to do it. Looking for some advice as to what to look for when throwing swimbaits from shore. Any info helps. Feel free to PM also. Thanks.

Points and ambush spots... anything that looks like it might hold fish should be a good target - best of luck!

Austin,
Most of the shoreline at Del Valle is pretty shallow, Walk to the end of the narrows where the lake makes a bend and fish that whole shoreline as its a shallow flat with a drop off within casting range and the trout stack up there. Be prepared to hook a 20+ lb striper as well.The big bass should be eating ,I caught an 11#er there oct 24th several years ago.
