Launched at 8:15 out of Russo's, water was 52 degrees. Got four bites shallow around harder tule clumps but couldn't get 'em to the boat (Ratl Trap & Jig). Switched to a Senko around noon and started getting bites (video below). Switched to drop shot and got even more bites including a 4 lber. that didn't make it onto the GoPro. Caught nine for the day of which 7 would have kept. Water was just over 56 degrees when I left at 3:30. Yet another great day on my beautiful Delta.
Anyone else got a report from yesterday? Just curious to see if there's something I'm missing, e.g., fishing too shallow, targeting wrong structure/cover?

I would say "very stained" but not chocolate soup. 1-2' visibility is what I saw and I stayed inside flooded islands.

Not recent but fished around Disco Bay last weekend...Sounds pretty similar in what I was getting, most productive for me was drop shotting the deeper areas on docks. Water was same in terms of visibility, heavily stained

I fished around Disco on the 24th. The water clarity was very stained. I boated 3, lost 1, missed 1. All my fish came on a square bill. The bites were reaction bites after clicking the bait off of the rocks.
