Re: Father's Day Delta report

Give it a week, it'll get better. Most bigger fish go nocturnal this time of year. However, you will still run into quality fish around the right grass with current, docks or mats with access to deep water.

Lots of rods will handle this set-up. 806 CB, 805 SB, but one that really shines is our new 804 SB. Great stick plus ...
