Water Temp: 56-57
Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)
Report: Been years but I decided to leave the south Delta for action on the east side. Got to Ladds @6:00 I was the first boat there. Before I could get into the water there were 5 boats that beat me into the water. First stop Turner cut. 5 minutes I caught a 2.3. No action for the next 1.5 hrs. Left for Kings Island (near the Marina) Nabbed a 5.3 Slow rolling a white spinnerbait near the rip rap. Finished the day at about 1:00 pm within sight of the Marina with 16 lbs. Nothing under 2# All but the 5.3 with a green weenie fishing the shade side of the vegetation at about 3'- 6' of water.
Tips: The water was like chocolate. Don't expect too much action, just boat the ones that hit you. I only had 8 bites all day but able to boat 5.

Water Temp: 54-57
Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)
Report: Well the tough bite continues.... Flipped a giant first thing in the morning only to have her break me off rite at the boat.....No bites for the next four hours then a five and a 3 and thats it.Franks tract north end today,less wind warmer water and did notice a few fish here and there on the surface sunnin in protected pockets.
Tips: Same rig played with the colors a bit but went back to the black and red and got all of my bites,tried fishing inside away from current and nothing as soon as I went back out and started fishing 6' to 8' near current got bites and quality fish. tight lines.

Water Temp: 52-54
Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)
Report: Fished Franks all day,With high pressure building the bite has toughened up tremendously.Flipped all day and managed five bites for about 17+0r- with a 7lb kicker all coming on black and red brush hog. The fish seemed to be near current sweeping through the tract and buried up, all my bites were back 2ft or further in the tules.
Tips: After you make your flip deadstick the bait for about 10 seconds 3 of the 5 bites came on the pause but a heavier weight for a fast sink rate to get their attention because they definatly were not in a positive feeding mood,two hrs without a bite then switched to the heavier weight and it made a difference.

Water Temp: ???
Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)
Report: With my Custom Valco "BASSBUSTER1" still being serviced at Delta Marine I had no choice this afternoon but to walk the banks around Ladd's Marina today. Even though we have this bad windy storm blowing through the region this weekend the BITE IS STILL ON!!!
I caught my first duoble-digit bass of my career (10.5 lbs) witnessed by my friend and fishing buddy. I'm very greatful he was willing to take the time to come out in the rain with a Berkley Digital scale and his camera.
The huge bass was caught in about 6 ft. of water with a custom built jig, Brown/Orange flake skirt and a Berkley Power Craw trailer (Punkinseed/chartruese). She gave a good fight after smacking my jig.
City: StocktonTips: Even though we have bad weather this weekend persistance pays off. I did not see a single boat trailer in the launch ramp parking lot.
Also, I was wondering if the angler happens to be reading this report I found a 6" Lizard with a 5/0 super line hook in her if you were the one that possibly got broken off. :-)

Water Temp: 56-59
Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)
Report: Started fishing around 1230 around disappointment as the tide topped off. Fish were up tight to cover until the tide started to move and the dark clouds and wind came. Caught many 1 lb cookie cutters on a crankbait but was catching better quality on the hula grub 2lb up to a 7 lber.
City: mantecaTips: Pitched the hula grub tight to logs and tules until the weather showed up. Then started dragging the hula grub across flats and past small tule patches. Tossed crankbait anywhere the current was moving swiftly for the small fiesty ones.

Report: Fished the incoming tide in West Delta. Fish were tight into the tules. Catching them on dark colored senkos and surprisingly, they were smashing crank baits. Once the tide got high and wind picked up, nothing. Moved around into Franks but the rollers were tough to fish. Ended up with 10 fish up to 3 1/2 lbs. No big ones
City: south San FranciscoTips: Threw a variety of baits and colors but they only wanted dark colored senkos and crank baits, tight in the tules.

Water Temp: 58-62
Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)
Report: Weird tide, high all day. Weather was great. Only 2 mph breeze, some am overcast. Left Lazy M around 7:30. Fished Italian for only 15 minutes. No bites. Went straight to Mildred Is (south end). Fished points from 5-10 ft. Slow tide but water was moving. No wind. Caught 15 BB to 3 lbs over the next 1.5 hrs. Very gentle bite. Headed to Cruiser Haven. No bites. The tide was VERY high so we went into Widdow Is. Caught 5 BB to 2 lbs. but no bigguns there yet. Fished outside of Widdow and picked up a couple more dinks. then headed in. Nothing big but good to finally get some action. Although we threw B/Bl jigs, Speedtraps (shad) and Green Weenies, me and my buddy always have our best success with the weenies. No hits on the crank and only one hit off the jigs.
Tips: if you're not going to report where you went to fish, could you put what marina you launched from or at least what section of the Delta you fished (North, South, East, West)? I'd say that piece of info is the most helpful

Report: Knock it off with all the racial comments. PC or not this is a fishing website not a political commentary site. You should be ashamed of yourself! If you see someone break the law call it in, otherwise keep your narrow minded stereotypes to yourself. Breaking the law is breaking the law. PERIOD!!!
Now can we please talk about fishing?
