I give you credit for even making an attempt without your trolling motor. Most times when my electric fails I put the boat on the trailer and go home.

Good work Caleb, it's nice to see your subscribes and likes creeping up.

Only hard core fans of the sport understand how difficult it is to compete at the Elite level. I have much respect for anyone that tries to feed their family tournament bass fishing at any level.

When I first started fishing the Delta over 30 years ago there were hardly any weeds and I remember catching some 13" fish that weighed 3/4 of a pound. They were rails!

I agree with most everything I’m reading here. Whenever I get down in the dumps because the Dirty D isn’t as good as it used to be I remind myself that a tough day on the Delta is three keepers and five dinks, while a tough day on a lake is no bites!

I agree with everyone who feels Brown is a POS!

I've also had good experiences at Bullfrog. Speaking of good marina's, I'm a big fan of Tiki Lagun. They have the cheapest gas on the Delta $3.64 for 89 and 3.94 for 91. Heck, I can't do much better than that at home! They now have a good and reasonably priced cafe and bar. The only negative is it d...

Glad some had a good experience with C&C. I did not. Took boat in running well for routine maintenance. Came out running bad. Took it back and gave em a chance to get it right. Still werent able to figure out what theyd messed up. Luckily another area shop was able to fix C&C’s mistake. If ...

Many years ago when I ate bass besides lots of crawdads I found an occasional 2-3 inch catfish in their bellies.

I was on the Delta yesterday and man what a bite! Fishing was great, but air quality sucked. Is all that smoke on the Delta coming down from the Redding fire or is it from a different fire?

monte300

You will be amazed at the caliber of some of the club fishermen, both as men and as fishermen. Really good points Ash, anyone that helps out with the cost of gas and wiping down my boat gets invited back often. I try to go the extra mile and give my partner some decent water to fish, as opposed to n...

Nevermind, join a club. If you are struggling on the delta on slack tides, you need to join a club before fishing the money tournaments. I’m only able to fish 5 hours every two weeks. I stay away from tournaments because I would simply be donating my entry fee. If you’ve done that for 20 years, you...

It's been years since I was in a club and I think they all have different protocols. Most importantly that they are accepting new members. Can someone help a brotha out?

monte300

If you have never fished tournaments, I would suggest joining a club to get a feel of what tourney fishing is about. In most clubs, you can fish as a non-boater, they will pair you up with a boater. To locate a club in your area, just click on the "Interactive" tab above, then click on &q...

Honesty is always the best policy but keep in mind that if the speedometer says 70 your boat may only be traveling around 65 on GPS. I guess the point is don't be silly and say your 20 footer with a 250 only goes 55!

Great advice from Ben Green, no wonder he comes so highly recommended

monte300

I have a 2000 519vs ranger camanche with a 225 mercury efi and it only goes 62.5 with a 25p tempest. I dont see how all these other guys are doing 70+ mph. some care to enlitin me on what's going on? This is no blow to you or your boat. Something is wrong with your setup or driving. Check your RPM ...

Well said, Ash.

I usually tend to launch out of Paradise Point Marina in Stockton... and its probably only cause i suck but what the f do you do when the tides low??? Or when the waters not moving, I dont usually do as bad on high tide but damn do i struggle on low tide almost every time its there. Should I try so...

Does anybody know if its worth fishing over melonies? Or is Pedro better than both? Way back in the day I fished Melones and Don Pedro several times, Pardee only once. I found Pardee to be the tougher bite of the three, but I have heard from many that Pardee is a good fishery. The one thing that st...

Damn wakeboarders!

Indian Slough is a great place to be on the bank, one of the most dangerous places for boating on the entire Delta, IMO.

monte300

Also consider the tide, high tide is always easier, albeit not always better bite

monte300

as always I love watching your videos, Caleb. Keep up the good work!

My wife bought me some nylon HUK brand shorts love them but probably not low cost

I'm pretty happy with SkiSafe Insurance, which I obtained through Geico. They were Johnny on the spot for the couple of claims I've had through the years

Ive always had more confidence fishing the high tide. I really like an early morning high tide best. I have the least confidence with a mid day low tide. Same here, it's much easier to crank a high tide. Back in the day when there were some good solid weedlines I would crank the outside of the weed...

Thanks Caleb, this helps hold me over until I can get out on the Delta early Friday morning. Your Dad is a good stick!

Thanks for the battery explanation, Rod. My boat is so bare bones I didn't understand the need for a big cranking battery, now I do! When it comes to regular old acid batteries, my favorite has always been American brand. They are made over in Hayward and sold at Boatmasters in Livermore.

monte300

Back in the day I ran a pair of group 31 deep cycles for my trolling motor, I'm trying to figure out why anyone would ever want/need that big of a cranking battery?

monte300

If you get serious about the trade I highly recommend having the Nitro checked out by a reputable mechanic both boat and motor.

Do we still have Feinstein on our side in this matter? Vote Cox in November?

monte300

Thanks fellas for your responses I never thought I would say it but the Speedtrap is proving to be fairly durable and flat out catches fish when I'm able to fish it.

monte300

I use kvd river to sea and mostly lucky craft. I tend to lean towards lucky craft. but honestly if your plowing rip rap the bills on the lucky craft tend to break. have never broke one on a speed trap or kvd. for the delta its hard to beat a speed trap How does the Lucky Craft act when you crank it...

monte300

Hey folks, if you've been reading some of my posts you know I love to crank the Delta. One of my go to baits is the Luhr Jensen Speedtrap. However, there are times and tides I can't fish this bait. This spring I have tried both the KVD and the Bagley square bills and have found that both of them are...
