    Water Temp: 71

    Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

    Report: Fished south delta all day, started on tulie island south end of woodward with no takers. Moved back to entrance of woodward fished our way in, my buddy caught one and i snapped one off on the hookset. We jumped around the tulie islands in the area with just one bite on a jig wich i lost because i didnt check my drag, didnt bury the hook on the set. We moved further south to Coney island, last two hours of out going tide my buddy gets on a good buzz bait bite while i was throwing a frog, i had two good blow ups on the outside edge of weed/cheese matts before i lost my frog up on the rocks, then tied on a buzzbait and helped my buddy out with that bite. We got 6 fish on the buzz bait and missed 6 others, best 5 going 13lbs.
    City: Modesto

    Tips: All fish came off tulie/rock banks, the buzzbait fish were holding on tulie clumps outside the weed/cheese matts.

    Report: Worst wind I've come across in some time.Trying to control a 21' boat with a 101 lb minnkota on 90 was NOT what fishing should be! It finally calmed down in the pm and found some decent water to fish but counts were nothing like two days ago.Had to laugh at the dinks that would hit a 6" senko!
