Hi Everyone,

Been out for a while traveling and stuff. I haven't been on the water in 6 weeks!

Thinking about heading out this weekend and maybe trying out some new water. There's a tourney with the SCBBBC that I'm thinking about fishing.

Question is. Where's White slough? I tried googling and came up with this result.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=white+slo ... 2&t=h&z=16

Is that it or am I way off target?

Thanks in advance.

Whites Slough is on the back side of Bouldin Island. Not far from Potato Slough.

PS - Your map looks like its showing Vallejo, not the Delta.

I think your off , If I remember correctly-near hwy 12?Don't have a map in front of me.

Ok that took me a bit to figure out where we were. No that is not the Whites Slough you are looking for. It is in the East Delta. It runs between Honker Cut and Bishop Cut. The easiest way to get there is off of Eight Mile Rd. off of I-5 in Stockton. Head West on Eight Mile and you can launch at either Paradise Point or King Island and head north. Lots of grass, islands and rip rap banks.

Hope this helps

You know when you KNOW you're wrong, but still want to ask? Yep.

The area that I showed the link for: Is that to far out to be holding LMB? That looks like a good area to fish. Any fish there before?

White Slough: I can't find it. I'll keep looking though.

Info on the Tourney ......got this from BNT/SCBBBC website...

Its that time again for the second and last of the two first ever SCBBBC pick your own team tournaments. Here are the official time.

Check-in = 5:00AM - 5:20AM

Blastoff = 6:00AM or earlier if we're all ready.

Weigh-in = 12:00

We'll reward the team AOY at the awards ceremony 1/2 hour after the last fish is weighed.

You must have the same team you had at the last event!

white's slough is the northern boundary of empire tract and king island. if you launch at paradise point, head north on bishop cut and you'll run right into it. or, launch at tower park marina and head south on little potato slough and it will fork off to the east into white's. there's fish in white's but it is so choked with weeds, it's a little hard to fish.

it's White's Slough and your map is way off.... I think yer looking at Marine World in Vallejo ????????????

It's very easy to find using any Delta map. White's runs east/west between Dissapointment Slough and HWY 12. Little Potato slough is at the West end and Bishop cut is at at the East end....... Honker Cut connects to White's in the middle...

Close launch ramps would be Paradise Point Marina (Dissapointment slough), Tower Park marina (Little Potato), or Honker Cut / King Island (both on honker cut)


BTW,,, there's no fish there and if you do find fish by some mistake, they're all small Do yerself a favor and stay away

Here try this link: White's Slough

It is the slough at the top of the map. Runs from Little Potato to the Pooh Processing facility

I heard it is the bermuda triangle of the Delta. For the safety of you and your passengers do not even pass through there on the way to other spots.

speaking of white's slough, how's the ramp at tower park marina? i normally like B&W but turning left out onto highway 12 at certain times of the day is just plain scary.

I have never launched at tower park but I dont mind the ramp at Pardise especially when launching solo. Pardise puts you out into Dissapointment just short boat ride away from Whites Slough. There are also no fish in disappointment

Just be mindfully that you need to turn into the ramp on the right side and not strait up and down as it looks like turn 3 in Daytona

L Dub,
try looking at this map for reference as to where White's Slough is. you can click on the image and it will take you to the full size image.

good luck,

thanks, ash. actually, i put in a lot at paradise but was looking for something a little closer to franks.

thanks everyone for the replies. By George, I think I've got it now.

It's a little further than I thought. I just remembered I'm helping my buddy move that day anyways. He's gonna owe me BIG time.

Guess I'll just have to head out Sunday instead.

I sugest downloading google earth. You can zoom in anywhere in the world, put the cursor on a spot and it will give you exact GPS coordinates, and it's free.

There are no fish in White Slough. Don't waste your time

And Stay Out Of Potato Sl. As Well !!

Hey L Dub,
The correct name for the slough is White Slough, and you should have a good fix on its location now thanks to previous posters.
While it may not have any fish (yeah, right!), you may be interested to know that when Florida-strain LMB were first planted in the Delta, they were put in White Slough and Disappointment Slough. 'Nuff said.

I agree. It's the dead sea.

Roger,
That's some interesting info there. i did not know that.

Is there any particular reason they chose these 2 sloughs for the initial implant?

Kopper_Bass

Sorry, Kopper, but I don't know the rationale for choosing those sloughs...it may have been as simple as which were most accessible to stocking truck(s) coming in from the Highway 5 side.

Hopefully, someone with more knowledge of that early stocking will come aboard here and fill us in.

INFACT I KNOW IT WAS. HANG ON I'LL TRY AND FIND THE ARTICLE I READ THAT IN

White cont. If you launch at Russos, how long in time is the run to White? Lets say moderate speed.

Corkvet

20 min or so depending on what end or the middle of the slough you hit. will eat a lot of gas though unless ya keep your foot out of it
