Re: Strike detection

As a dedicated cranker I’ve learned that generally speaking the harder the bite the smaller the fish. Those subtle, sort of mushy bites usually yield the bigger fish.

Re: Fishing Line

I stopped using mono years ago for three reasons. 1) line memory, it seems the line would get super curly including the first day I spooled it up. 2) line stretch, on a long cast I had a hard time driving home the hook and losing fish. 3) the inability to strip tules without breaking the line.

Re: how do we define the CA Delta regions.?

Depending on where you want to fish you can slide your Yak in at Paradise Point in Dissapointment and this would give you lots of access to very good fishing water without being on the main channel. Holland or Orwood is a great marina for heading south. For going North - drop in at Wimpy's lots of ...

Your not going to pull out a flipping stick and beat these fish into submission. To much pressure. Hi Kelly, I caught 14 of the 15 fish I weighed on a flip...

My brother and I were on the river yesterday through Whiskey Slough, across Empire Cut and heading down south near Bullfrog. There was less floating debris than we expected and generally speaking the water had unexpected good clarity. We also saw 4 seals/sea lions.
