Your faorite tide to fish sherman area

[raymond]

Just curious to hear some responces.
Lots of low water areas.
Lots of boats at low tide.
Almost got stuck last week at the electrical towers i think its called donlon island.

[Rydaddy]

I like too fish sherman island on low our high as long as the water is moving I pull fish around this island in places that your boat can almost only go in on high tide .Just fish it hard the south end of the lake is good right now for largemouth all along tullies I have been fishing a small tube bait doing well fish on

Oh ya stripers rule sherman hang on

[deltagreenfish]

Low water. Be careful on the inside.

[Cooch]

the last portion of the out-go to low tide. There's a reason why ya see all those rats in there on the low tide! Now since I do not fish in there, out of respect to all those guys who own the water in there, and to avoid the onslaught of being accused of blabbing to all my internet friends about the last known secrete fishing hole on the river, I'll take the 5th and bow out now, refraining from further detailed comments! HAR! HAR! HAR!

[Mike]

Man Cooch, That place aint no secrete! I dont fish there anymore either. That place is a Zoo thanks to Dee sending everyone there after he decided not to fish there anymore, and Bill S weighing big sacks from there! People think they can go over there and catch his fish, but that guy is "the master" of Sherman. I learned if you cant beat them at their game......go somewhere else!

[XMAN]

you mean all the sticks aint fishing in there no more--yea baby-i aint been in there for a couple of years due to my workahailic mentality-spent 3 solid yrs in there learning every single spot awhile back--morning and night,high and low,in and out,muddy and clear,windy and calm,tourny and no tourny--we'll be getting a new boat when i retire in the next year--i'll be in there every day,smokin them--when i go my 1/2 my ashes are to be spread in there-- had a 80 fish day in 4 hrs once whoowee, my arm still hurts--i know ya love the place too cooch--so the old man aint fishing in there no more huh?--yea right---xman out

Sherman is great. Just bring an extra lower unit.

[Rydaddy]

I have been fishing sherman for about 6 years all the time my first boat was so slow I would put my boat in at the antioch free ramp and go straight across the river to sherman.I have a bass tracker now and from pittsburg I am there in 5 minutes I did not no about the guys that have done well here in tournments I fish for the pull I really do not see that many boats and have never hit anything under the water .It s fishing can be hit and miss I mostly fish stripers really shallow butt I will flip a little too I have told my family when I die thats where my ashes are going too I have had days on that island that when you talk about it people think it s a fishing story.I will only stay in sherman and I will die in sherman Theres no place like home live in pittsburg marina and fishing in 5 minutes long live my sherman oh sherman sherman sherman
fish on

[Cooch]

instant, that Pops don't go down there anymore! I can tell ya fer a fact, the last two times I have gone in there, on special requests by my clients for me to show em the ropes in there, I've seen Pops in there BOTH times! And both times he harrassed me about given up his "secrete water" to my internet friends! And I got a witness, cause one of my "internet friends" was sitting with Dee in the back of his boat! I was kind and had to refrain from rubbing that point in that day! You know who ya are, I won't tell! HAR! HAR! HAR!

Yeah, Billy S has got em wired in there, to bad that place don't hold the kinda fish the Sapper catches in his sweet spots to the south. Billy woulda given him a run fer his money and we might have a nickname by now fer Swearengin! LOL

[Mike]

Yeah, with all of the tournaments going out of Bethel Island now, the West Delta sure dont fish like it used too. I find myself working more and more south to catch them big un's. We are going to have to re label some of the "meat walls"!

[XMAN]

this is gittin good--i love it--ever been down to the ships--whoaaa

[raymond]

Ill tell you what x-man i might just die in sherman.
To learn that whole area i might just die of old age.
I see alot of guys sitting in the middle of that huge lake because they know the spot and probaly took awhile to find it.

On a high tide to the south in the tullies if you dont know the area you could lose an arm trying to fish it all,so low tide would bunch the fish up on key spots that should reveal itself when the tide is low.

But still that only eliminates only less than half the spots.
If it is a secret spot it would still take alot of time on the water to key in on just the big fish.
I guess you would just have to sit and wait for one of the big guys to come motoring in and spy on them.

But thats no fun and it would be thier fish.

So little time and little patience.

Gonna try though.Still timid about running that shallow water which i dont have time to make mistakes and repairing lower units.
Not asking for secrets but any help reguarding navigation would be appreciated.

And yeah those ships.

[Rydaddy]

I am no pro by all means there are two sloughs too the south of the lake one is a dead end with a little creek that go s too the other slough that slough go s out to the main river those two sloughs at the opening of the lake are a good place to start off the points etc I had no choice in my old boat butt to fish all around the island my boat was to slow too make a long move I thank my old boat for that 12 foot klamath with a 1960 evinrude 10 horse with a man made front deck and my foot trolly Just go there and fish it like that is all it is one lake you will find um

Fish on
