      Report: took a riend out on the Delta or a rather rustrating day. Launched out o Ladds with light rain and dark skies. Had a high tide at 11am, so we had a slight incoming or the morning and a slight outgoing or the aternoon. Great ishing opportunity....not!We tried throwing blades, rattletraps and cranks on the tulle line, then the rock walls. Nothing! Switched up at high tide pitching jigs, senkos and even tried some drop shotting. Nothing! (actually got 2 6in. ish on the dropshot, but they dont count HAR!)Finally as the aternoon tide started its outgoing move, I started picking up ish on a speedtrap crankbait (delta craw), ticking it o the tops o grass rom 2-10t o water. Tried other crank colors, traps and blades, but only the speedtrap worked. Best ish was the last one o the day - a nice 4.5lb'er. Best 5 though only went 10lbs.quite a tough bite or us, especially going most o the day with bothersome weather and no ish!Kopper_Bass

      Report: Only the second time on the Delta. Headed out o Ladds or the inal event o the uture pro tour. GREAT start with Tiger getting a 3.5 on a Buzzer early and ten minutes later I hit a 3.3 on a spook. Tiger got another 1.8 soon ater on a helix. Several dinks later we hit another keeper and just couldn't inish it o. 4 keepers and 9.95 lbs put us just out o the money. But we qualiied or the "Classic". For anyone who wants to ish a Tourney but has little or no experience I highly recommed Vince Harris and his uture pro tour. "A great place to learn". Our irst tourney ever was at Berryessa and seven events later we ended up 19 out o 100+ teams overall or the seven events. A great example o how you can learn rom their seminars and more importantly rom all the great peers you ish with. We were not in it or the money, only to learn, And who knows maybe we'll win the Car at next months inals. THANKS TO ALL THAT PUT IT ON AND THOSE WHO WE COMPETED WITH AND LEARNED FROM!!!

      Report: The striper action has continued improving a bit as anglers start to see more and more linesides while tossing lures. Mildred Island anglers tossing hair jigs around the boiling schools o shad are having success. Clams and livers are still the standout baits or the catish. Bass anglers are inding action improving with the cooler temperatures but, things aren't hot yet. Those having success are tossing Rat-L-Traps and jigs.

      Report: Went out on Saturday rom Orwood with a riend who doesn't ish much...We headed South and the og was horrendous. Fished a rock wall near Dell's and caught a solid limit in a little over an hour. The ish were 2-3lb variety. Caught ish all day long. Early I used a topwater which caught (2) quality ish and had (3) better ish come to the bait and turn right at it...Followed up with a red lizard and caught two o the three. Caught 30+ ish in the South and Middle Delta using jigs, topwater, cranks, lizards, and grubs T-rigged, and ripped a ew ish as well. Overall, a real solid 13+ lb day.
      City: Discovery Bay

      Tips: Keep the baits moving. Swim the jigs, and use long pauses on topwater...The longer pause created more aggressive bites. The water is cooling ast and the ish are chasing bait everywhere. Fish points and bends to produce bigger bites. Colors as always are brown, green, and white. Take your pick...crawdad or shad colors...You will get the bites. Stay sae.

      Report: Went out searching or some early morning striper action w topwaters. Worked grass lines at low/incoming tide inside Franks. Saw quite a ew small boils but the big girls just weren't there or me, yet. Switched to a shad pattern mag-trap and started ripping through the grass. Kathunk! Solid w/ deliberate head shakes, this was no striper I thought. A ew jumps later and I had an 8.2lb largi in my hands. Not a bad conselation prize. Managed a ew more 1-2.5 lb ish on the trap, o the water by 10am...

      Report: Fished a club turkey shoot with my 11 year old son. His irst tournament. We did real good. Threw rogs, buzzbaits and spooks with lots o blow-up and a poor hook-up ratio. We caught over 20 ish, but alot dinks. I did take 2nd with 3 ish or 10.55 with a 6.55# rog ish. Niko caught his own limit and got the chance to weight ish in or the irst time. A athers dream.. To ish with his son. We will be ishing "The HOOK" together, so see you all out there.
      City: Fremont

      Tips: Throw that rog at low tide. Look or the weedline and hang on.

      Report: Launched out o Orwood at irst light and headed toward Mildred. Threw Black/Red persuader buzzbait and POPr or the irst two hours. Caught one big ish (7lbs) on buzzer and lost two in the 14-15 inch range...Threw POPr and caught several dinks and two small keepers. All in all about 12 bites between the two. Let the area and began exploring looking or weedline with deeper water (10-20) eet. Found our areas that looked good and two produced ish. Caught a 3+ on drop shot and a 2.5 on spinnerbait (slow rolled). Managed to catch a number o dinks with other small keepers mixed in. Caught 25+ ish in 7+ hours.
      City: Discovery Bay

      Tips: Topwater early or big bite/s. Drop shot, worms, and spinnerbait all worked with some degree o regularity. Best worm/drop shot colors were dark in nature (black/red, purple, green, brown). Enjoyed the lack o boat traic.Stay sae. TG

      Report: Friday - Launched out o Orwood and started catching ish not long ater...Fished the middle Delta using Frogs, Worms, Spinnerbait, Buzzbait, etc. The only bait we didn't throw was a crank and it would have worked. Caught a 5 ish limit well over 20lbs. 3(rog ish)4 & 5 lbs, 1 (5+) on Buzzbait, 2 on ripbait, 2 on Spinnerbait, 25+ on red/black worm and drop shot. Fished weedlines with deep water drop os. Tom caught 5 ish over 4.5 on worms working his magic. Great day on the water. Keys were depth with thick weedlines.Monday - Launched out o the break and threw buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, rogs, and drop shot. Caught a skinny limit 10lbs with only 1 blow up on the rog (2lbs) which I caught...2 buzzer ish (1 big...1 small)...12+ on the spinnerbait rom 1.5-2 lbs...and 20+ on drop shot...up to 2lbs. Topwater just wasn't working well today as we didn't have time to wait or the bottom o my low or the bigger rog bites. We had a un day and scratched out a ew ish. What a dierence a couple days make.
      City: Discovery Bay

      Tips: Frogs, Spinnerbait (wh/ch), and worms with curly tails seem to make the ish attack. Red/black and watermelon are the colors o choice in the worm selection. Fish the baits real slow including the rog. The better ish seem to eat it when it alls on top o them and just sits or a ew moments. Work deep grass in open water or better rog bites. Drop shot will always catch ish and the quality will luctuate rom dinks to 5+ lbs. Stay sae...TG

      Report: Drove all the way to paradise Point rom San Francisco late night saturday - got on the water in my little inlatable at 12:30 AM - went up Bishop cut and saw carp (and a whole messload o beaver!!) rolling everywhere, but couldn't ind the bass. First time ever ishing on the Delta at night, and my lack o experience showed. Cruised slowly up to White's, spent most time dragging a senko and throwing a buzzbait, but no luck. Clept on the water or a ew hours, then started ishing in white's at sunrise. Got a ew dinks back in the weeds, and one rog hit (and miss) at high tide. Still can't seem to igure out how/where/when to get the rog hits. I've tried mats thick and thin mats with red duckweed, nasty yellow cheese, and plain hydrilla. I've thrown at mats near the rock walls and those in near islands with no rocks. But just no luck in general. neded up making my way to disappointment slough where I caught a 3+ lb bass on a trap, then cruised all the way down to 14-mile slough and hauled in 15 dinks on a trap. All in all, probably got around 20 ish, most 12 inches or so, with around 5 in the 1.5-3+ range. Fun day (but really want to catch that rog ish!!) Enjoy!!
      City: San Francisco

      Tips: Early AM senkos in the shallows worked well, but as the wind picked up I couldn't position my boat to ish these areas. Shad patterned traps on the outside edges o the weeds seemed great at low tide. Still looking to get that topwater bite that seems so great or more experienced Caliornia ishermen!!

      Report: We hit the water around 7:30am out o Paradise Point. Only a ew boats on the water throughout the morning and early aternoon. Our group had three boats on the water or 8 guys, each boat was pretty successul. As a group we our best 5 ish probably total 20lbs (6#, 2x4# and 2x2#). Lot's o dinks that kept us interested all day. I ished Senkos (dark w/ red lakes), buzz bait, and top water. Most ish were caught on Senkos and plastics. Where I saw bait ish hitting the surace, buzz bait worked well. We had a great day on the water! Thanks guys or our annual gathering on the delta....see ya at the amily reunion this weekend.
      City: Fremont

      Tips: I you see a ishing licensing loating on the water, it's probably mine. Does anyone know how to obtain a replacement? I have my 2003 pink receipt.

      Report: Went out in my tin bote with Durbin or hal days Thursday and Friday, and all day Saturday and Sunday. As with other olks' reports, the ishing was outstanding. 25-30 ish on Thursday aternoon in only a couple o hours o ishing. Biggest around 4lbs. 20-25 ish on Friday aternoon, biggest around 3lbs. Saturday a bit slower, but still excellent, around 30 ish, up to 3lbs. Sunday was huge, must have caught around 70 ish, up to 4lbs again, on each day caught lots o small keepers, dinks, and enough 1.5-2+lb ish to make decent bags each day. Missed several large ish, with Durbin missing an absolute MONSTER Sunday morning, but redeeming himsel with numerous quality ish later that day. I'm not a topwater an, or wasn't until I went out with Durbin, but have now been converted. Many o our better ish came on topwater baits. We caught them on nearly everything we threw, I got on a nice jig bite-my avorite way to ish in multiple areas. We ished pretty much Delta wide, rom Del's to Tower Park, and Taylor to White's/Disappointment areas. Launched rom Holland or Ladd's. All in all, Sunday was one o the best days or numbers mixed in with decent ish I've had in years. Have to thank Durbin or helping me to learn a new technique and or showing me new types o structure/cover to consider or ish and appropriate methods to use on these types o spots. Get out there!Good luck, and God bless,Rob T
      City: El Granada

      Tips: Basically we got ish wherever the water was moving, with some clarity. Then, depending on depth and cover we ished the appropriate baits. Caught ish on topwaters, spinnerbaits, medium and shallow running crankbaits, jigs, senkos, rattletraps, didn't try other plastics, since everything else was working real well.
