Re: Helix not working right...Help!?

A note about what Mark-C had said about voltage drops, there is a diagnostics page on the Helix units I have (I have G3 units not sure which this is, but probably has the same page) that shows voltage. You can determine if it is a voltage issue pretty quick by pulling up this page and see the voltag...

Re: Delta Winds

If you stay outta the big open area's like big break and franks tract you can pretty much always find somewhere to hide from the wind out on the delta. Just gotta find the right levee wall to get behind to tone it down a bit

Re: Releaser or Keeper? Which are you?

Release all green bass as i don't find them anything special to eat. Will keep stripers, crappie, and all stocked trout to eat. Release all wild trouts when flying fishing in streams/rivers which I seldom do anymore since moving to California.

It is not that hard to DIY. If you need it done ASAP sounds like that might be your best bet. I have replaced a few guides myself and tips over the years.

Re: Delta lure colors

They definitely feed on shad and other baitfish in the delta. Too many to list but things like threadfin , golden shiners, hitch, split-tail, pike minnows and probably a whole bunch more that I am missing.

Re: The Good Ol' Delta Struggle

If you are just cruising down the outside weedline I would also suggest looking for irregularities in the weeds. If you have a weed patch/piece that sticks out a foot further than the weed line think of it like a point on a lake and alot of times those little irrregularities in the grass are where t...

Re: DEEP CRANKING

you can long line your crankbait. make a cast passed your target area, then open spool and use your trolling motor , let a bunch of line out and that should help ya get deeper and stay deeper longer
