    Report: For everyone reacting to these morons who are jerkin' everyone's chain...they're just trying to get you to react, makin' up stupid stories about going fast in the deadly fog. Please don't react anymore....we all know what safe and sane is and they actually do too. if they were really going that fast, we'd already be reading about the emt's and divers pulling their worthless bodies out of the delta. 415bass...thanks for posting your report!

    Water Temp: 64-72

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: So I was out the other day in my brand new wrapped ranger cruising along at a cool 68 mph and I came up on this a$$clown an Allison. I almost hit him cause it was so foggy, but I was able to veer outta the way cause I felt his wake before I saw him. Let me say this, he's a total liar. I was GPSing myself on my brand new hds-8 lowrance and I was only going 70 and it was like he was sitting still! He saw me and tried to get on it, and off we went racing down old river in the fog. He's right....exhilarating is an understatement!! I haven't had that big of a rush since I was killin' Charlie in the trees in southeast Asia!!! Anyway, I smoked that pansy and there's no way he was going 70! My boat maxes out at 69 and he was toast! Anyway, the bite was great, I just watched tactical bassins video where they say they caught 42 lbs for five, and eventhough they only showed one fish out of that limit, it was enough for me, and I knew that bank. I went and never gave up, just like Matt Allen says, and sure enough caught a 3lber, 5lber and 2 4 lbers and an 8lber all on an Alabama rig with live crawdads. That was so many pounds of bass filets that I had to feed my dogs the leftovers! I recommend deep frying the bass, the bigger ones taste better! !! Caught em deeper in current, on points.
    City: The delta sewer

    Tips: Alabama rig 5 live crawdads!! Had two fish on at once!!

BIG BIG difference compared to monday. everything was on crankbait. On monday got a bonus 2 salmon to 8 lbs. the bite is on cranks, maybe its cause of a cold front today..

    Report: Question for myboatsfaster...do you know what distinguishes stupidity from ignorance? Stupidity is someone who knows they are acting in their own worst interest, so why are you so ignorant???
    City: Sacramento

    Tips: Keep off the delta so the rest of us can stay safe and enjoy what the delta has to offer.

    Report: Fog was so bad out of b&w got later start than i wanted. Fished behind Little franks. Threw small white blades. Got sick of dinks . Went with senkos on ikey heads green pumpkin with red. Got several 3 & 4,s. All in dark black shade with wood. If i was in sun bite was dead. Came back to pirates cove for shade. Sure enough fish on! Talked with bluegill fisherman at the dock. They got run off by big bass once they hooked blues. Same pattern for blues wood.
    City: Orangevale

    Tips: Should have thrown shell cracker or anything in blue-yellow or chartruse. Thats why im not on espn2 yet. You have to find the pattern within the pattern!

    Report: To "myboatsfaster" I've known two people like you...One, I went to his funeral two years ago after his boating accident and now you; I don't know you so I won't be attending your funeral and I really hope I won't be attending one of my many fishing buddies funeral who enjoys fishing the Delta due to your inconsiderate recklessness. I would rather put up with the deep v's than you!!!
    City: Citrus Heights

    Tips: Why don't you send us all an emial next time you're planning to head to the Delta so the rest of us can fish elsewhere and be safe.

    Report: In response to "myboatsfaster". Only up to 70mph when you have limited visability. You my friend are either full of it or an absolute idiot. There are other numerous ways to hurt yourself without endangering others that only want to enjoy the water and catch some fish. Pick one of the other ways, PLEASE!!!

    Water Temp: 73-74

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: Well today started out pretty foggy when I launched the Allison out of B&W. I could only get up to 70MPH with the fog, but it is really exhilarating to drive that fast when you can't see more than 15-20 yards in front of the boat. Did pretty good today once the fog burned off. Caught several dinks in the rip raps on some hand poured plastics. Then motored over to another spot and landed a 7 lb bigmouth bass with a fluke. Had to head in early and was off the water by noon. Is anyone else annoyed by the deep v's hanging out everywhere? They are always in the way.

    Tips: Try different colors and presentations. Stay on the rocks, thats where the fish are.

    Water Temp: 64 - 69 degrees

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Luanched the Custom Valco "BASSBUSTER1" out of Ladd's at 1:00 p.m. and was off the water by 7:00 p.m. My buddy/coworker also came out and joined me in his Bayliner bass boat. We followed each other around in 14 Mile Slough and then out to Big Al's and back. The flippen/punchen bite was on in 14 Mile Slough behind LVW Marina using oxblood sweet beavers, catching several bass up to 3 lbs. Then we headed out to Big Al's and I started working my California Swim Jig on my new swim bait rod. Got nailed by a real nice size bass that aggressively hit my swim jig.

    Water Temp: 64 - 68 degrees

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Luanched the custom valco "BASSBUSTER1" out of Ladd's today about 8:00 a.m. and was off the water by 1:30 p.m. A tuogh 5 fish limit today even though I caught 12 bass (DINK DAY!!) using white spinnerbaits, sweet beavers & flippen tubes, but spent most of my time expiramenting with the California Swim Jig. I could not find the Dirty Jig locally so I bought a Renegade 1/2 oz swim jig and some Robo Easy Shads, it was a cool setup. Got several tail strikes with it, but no hook ups (in time I will eventually). Wish I didn't have to work tonight the bite seemed to get better as the day got warmer (afternoon bite!!).
    City: Stockton

    Tips: It was a reaction bite basically until the sun was high enough, the the flippen/punch bite was just starting to take off when it was time to go home. The swim jig bites came off of a medium speed retrieve in around 10 feet of water.

    Water Temp: 64

    Report: Launched New Hope and started at our midway point island just between Hog and Sycamore sloughs...started out crankin' but no hits so decided to work the tule and weedline edges and picked up a couple on junebug senko. Then moved up the Mokulemne to just around the corner from B&W; still no hits crankin' and this is usually where we they hit our speed traps and kvd 2.5s in red craw and sexy shad. ZIP on the cranks so went back to senkos and picked up a mixed limit of keepers and dinks..biggest going 2-14. Coulda said 3 but the scale didn't lie and 3 ain't braggin' rights by no means but I still get excited at 2+..hahaha. Anyway, after working some more tule strips and another mixed bag of barely keepers and dinks all on senko, decided to head back to port and stopped at Hog. Went in and noticed swirls and splashing and thought it was stripers, so we threw out some 1/2oz Cordell spots .... wow, double hookup with chinooks. Had to release at the boat while in the water to stay legal but sure was fun til we saw they could've cost us some hefty fines! I almost cut my $3. lure off having so much trouble releasing it but finally got it unhooked.
    City: folsom

    Tips: Senkos seemed to be the ticket this day; change up often enough when something isn't working after a few locations.
    Know and keep regs handy; when we first hooked up with the salmon, we weren't sure and so we released them on a hunch; we were real relieved when we checked the regs and saw salmon closed. Then when we got back to New Hope, we found out there were a couple fines handed down at $600 ea for possession in that area. (even if they were caught on Sac river. If in doubt, don't take it out!

    Report: Launched out of Ladds at day break and fished until 12:15 pm...we fished Fourteen Mile Slough and caught 15+ fish all on shad colored crankbaits. On the north side of the slough we worked the rock walls and I caught a 4.5 lb large mouth and then my son caught a 6 lb about five casts later. All in all a nice day on the water and got to spend time with my son, can't beat that.

    Report: Lauched @ holland marina, first fish was a keeper (barely) on a green pumpkin senko, all day I caught 30-40 fish, all dinks I think three fish might have gone 12 ", pulled two of the keepers from a ledge in 12' of water outside of cruiser haven wake board and ski boats could care less about the 5mph zone there. All fish came on the wacky rig, no reation for me. Fished high to outgoing tide
    good luck and be safe.

    Water Temp: 69

    Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

    Report: Had a great bite. The fish were really active and gave great fights when hooked. The day before was a a bright, hot, sunny day without an ounce of wind and no moving water. It was the clearest water I've ever seen on the delta. That day I happened to stumble upon a weed bed that was loaded with bass. The water was too clear though. So the next day my buddy and I headed to that weed bed. Similar conditions but there was cloud cover. We were in between tides and the water was rising. I threw 6" black n blue senkos and it was game on. Caught 16 in two hours. All keepers with the smallest weighing 1.10 and biggest went 3lbs. They had a lot of fight in em. I swear I was reeling in 5 pounders. Unfortunately my buddy only hooked into 2 fish. He didn't have proper tackle and was dealing with a set up that hadn't been used in 15 years. We had a blast though and the both of us caught a fish each on our first casts of the day. Gotta love that

    Report: Luanched the custom Valco "BASSBUSTER1" out of Ladd's about 9:00 a.m. and was off the water at 5:30 p.m.(I was late for my own birthday dinner with the family). I started out towards Big Al's, but when I saw the dredger was working in the area I decided to turn around and head for 14 Mile Slough and also fished Disappointment Slough. Confirming Burkes report there was a good spinnerbait bite( first 5 fish limit of the day). With the bright sunny day today the flip/punchen' bite was on in the hyicinth and other floating weed mats (second 5 fish limit). I was all out of my sweet beavers so I used Strike King flippen tubes and the bass were smoking them. My third 5 fish limit today came off of a black/brown jig probing the outside edge of the weed line during the bottom out low tide. My last 5 fish limit came from a crome/blue Rat-L-Trap which I alternated back and forth with the spinnerbait as search patterns. Big fish today was 5.5 lbs. punchin' the flippen tube (2 tone Black/red with red flake).
    City: Stockton

    Tips: Use a search pattern then rework the area with a slower pattern. The larger fish today preffered to be buried up underneath the thick floating mats. I enjoyed catching my first 5 fish limit on the 8 ft. Xheavy action Okuma Swimbait rod which is going to work out being a good puchin rod too.
