Stripers ....... Home Run for myself in personal preferance.

..... You want to go in for your first time at a LOW TIDE as everyone has said to see all the tree's/orchard crops for the first time to mark them not only mentally - and create way-points to follow on your GPS thru the clear sections. Also where you think you are safe in deep water - there is a con...

It has been so freakin' wide open right now - There are 100+ fish days. I am suprised that it is still under wrap's on here. I'll send you a PM - But the males just started recently milking - and your deck will turn into a sperm factory ! P.S....... PM G-man to have your carpet cleaned up. :lol:

Wish I could ! ... I would love to drive them around while listening to my ipod all day and reading the newest Greg Iles book -- And get paid for it while learning from them in seeing what they have been seeing durring their time spent in pre-fishing. But I have two more day shifts to pull. Hope th...

Friday afternoon it was COLD ! 52'ish.

They went down deep again - but were eating a weighted Senko from 8' -12/14' on the lift and drag below the grass lines.

Gene @ TheHook has telescoping "Mud Poles" that are light weight and can reach 20'+. I carry mine in the rod locker - and put a nylon Zip Tie than can slip up the handle or lock the Foot ... so it can keep the foot closed while in the rod locker. I believe I paid around $79 for it ? I use ...

DeltaDan

I wish I were you ! I would forget fishing and just hang out here in the Giant's Den to watch the pre-season games that they record and play if they are not live. The food -- Nothing like you will ever eat to enjoy again until the next time - Start with the Fresh Steamers .. rest and watch some more...

Steven ..... In all true honesty - Stay away - and FAR AWAY from the 6.0 Ford Diesel engines ! Unless it has already been replaced under warrenty -- or you can purchase an extended FACTORY warrenty to go along with it in the purcheae on your end. Honestly .... I don't care how clean the truck looks ...

its the cheapest of all the oil products to make, a lot less refining than say the other 3 grades of gasoline. but yet its the most expensive ? it use to be so much cheaper compared to regular gas, why is it now so expensive ?

Have an '05 Dodge with the 600 series motor - and a 6-spd manual 4x4, longbed, crewcab. If I stay out of the turbo at 55 mph on the flat land - I can get 27.4mpg. Towing the boat to Castaic, Millerton CL @ 75-80mph I get 18 mpg. Wife around town as it is her truck and daily driver - 19.6mpg. The bac...

Yes- But for the Stripers while drifting the Shoals in the SJ with a 1-2oz ball weight on a sliding sinker above a ball bearing swivel to the leader - depending on the tide and wind.

DeltaDan

I hear you TMan ! Worst part about it is since '84 when I first bought my fishing liscence - It was $3.25 for a Spriped Bass stamp for inprvoments/protection for that species alone and me to fish for them- Nearing $12 before they switched to the "Bay/Delta Enhancement Stamp." where they ju...

DeltaDan

any updates on this story?? crazy if this guy is still missing!! it's been 11 days and he should be rising to the surface here very soon, if he's not already in some tulle grove somewhere. I had imagined as well if he had bacame seperated from his boat - that he would try to make it thru the grass ...

DeltaDan

Today it was Contra Loma.

Tommorow it just might be the Delta.

Thank gawd I do not have the gas monies to go up to Bullards Bar !!

DeltaDan

I was just wondering where they went after the show?

Does anyone know ??

Folsom seems the easiest to relocate them .... Or were they transported back to the Delta by chance ? Or put into BPS or some other tanks for people to see/enjoy. ?

DeltaDan

Was he a bass fishermen? ?? I wish it was nobody to even begin with most of all....

Good Gawd .... I had an entire collection (28+) of these baits in the original box with the paper instructions from my Grand Pa that he gave me back in '84 after we moved to DBay. ... He prolly purchased them in the very late 50's or early 60's when he hunted his Springer's at his Phesant Club. They...

Nice Mac !

BrothA StockOption also had a very very good day last Thursday on that pond for #13-#14 in 4 hours of fishing with some really healthy CHUNKS.

DeltaDan

Send BrothA MikeD a PM ..... He has that stuff Down to a science !!

I bought some of the 5000 o-rings he purchased for the price of postage and a 12" Subway Sandwich for his genorosity in sharing.

DeltaDan

What ever works for the color and bait they are eating at that time - as it is changing almost bi-weekly now.

The mainstay is a BrushHog - Take a razor to it and slice the appendages upwards for more action than stock.

Never fished there myself - But I understand that they are going to shut down the marina/elect boats down soon and remove the marina itself for the new construction to raise the dam 20+ more feet here soon - and they will be dropping the Res way down low so that they can rebuild on top of the dam ca...
