Report: What you mean there was a FISH in that kennel?
City: Pittsburg -
Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)
Report: Fished new water once again...this time in the Franks Tract area and ound some nice ish. Another 20+ ish day with 13 in the 2-4lb range. All ish were caught on Spinnerbaits, zippers, and senkos. Had a solid 15lb limit (5) by 9:00 AM which is rare or me. Fished rom 6:30 out o Orwood and inished at Noon. The usual structure...lay down trees, pipes, rock, weeds, and tules. Most ish were caught on the bank or not ar rom it. Spinnerbait ish were all caught at the outside weedline.
City: Disco BayTips: Still looking or the big ish, but comes with paying ones dues I suppose. Fish real tight to structure and make sure your spinnerbait is hitting something whether it be tules or the weedline. See you on the water.

Report: Went out with the idea o doing the same stu as last week and had no success. No ish on senkos at all,ished the normal milk runs and the ish seemed to be suspended.I pitched senkos in the trees or two hours and did not get one bite.Went to grubs on a darter head and picked up one bass and one trout,then split shot pro leeches or three more bass largest 2 lbs.This colder weather has certaintly slowed the action or me. Probably a better bite later in the day when the water warms up.Oh well the trout made a good lunch.
City: Granite BayTips: let the water warm up again

Report: Fished One Bass FuturePro on the 6th and Western Bass FuturePro Class tournament on the 14th.New Bass inished with 16.8 lbs or middle o the road inish. Fished South and hit a good early morning spinnerbait bite (wh/wh) 5 ish up to 2.5 lbs. Fished disco without any luck. Moved to another location and began hitting better ish. Partner nailed 6.8 lb on mad craw tube. We proceeded to catch 15+ ish within the next hour plus all in the 2lb category. Some on Senko, others on mad craw tube. Also, hit 3+ on white spinnerbait during the surge. All action was incoming to high tide or outgoing in the AM. Good day but couldn't get the second big ish to join our 6+ riend.Tourney two was a nightmare in terms o weather. Fished out o Ladd's (new water) and missed the morning bite entirely (1 senko ish). Headed up 14 mile and didn't do much better. Caught 5.6 lb on Senko and then nothing until we headed back to the main river. Nearly capsized due to cigarette boat parade. Anyway, started cranking (white) and spinnerbait (wh/wh) and started nailing dink ater dink. Eventually ended up catching (3) 14 inch ish and partner nailed (1)2+ lb. Limit o 12.6. Considering the weather o.k. Couldn't get a jig bite at all.
City: discover bayTips: The usual. For size use Jig/Tube baits, as well as, the old standbye. First year o Bassin' on the Delta and still learning. Catching ish consistently, but not with any size. CATCH and RELEASE. I think Don makes a great point about limiting the tournaments during this period. My girl was ready to drop her eggs. See on the water. TG

Report: Fished the Stockton Bass tourney on sat. with good success and the Western Bass tourney on Sun. with little success. on Sat. John and I took 2nd with 26 1/2 pounds. Winner had 29. We got our big ish (6.4) on a chugger. That was pretty exciting having that ish come up and inhale the chugger while it was just sitting there. We also had a 5.2 and a 5.3 to help the limit. Most ish caught on Senko's. The ish were pretty aggresive and we had a limit by 9:30. Most o the ish were tight during high tide and were ound around wood during low tide. We had decided i we did well on Sat. we would ish the Western Bass tourney on Sun. Bad idea. We did manage a small limit, but it was hardley worth it the way the the wind was howling. It was one o the rougher days I've had out there. Not to mention it was low tide in the aternoon to go along with the horrendous wind. We decided that an 11 pound limit was not worth weighing in and bolted or home at 1pm with our tails between our legs. Oh well, at least Sat. was good day.
City: rosevilleTips: We were hoping or some more big emales to move into the area we ished on Sat., but the wind made our plastic pattern hard to stick with. Surprisingly, there wasn't much o a reaction bite going with all that wind. John did lose a real big ish on Sunday that might have made things interesting i he would o boated it.

Report: Our bass club shared the Delta with the big leaguers in the WON bass Pro-Am but there was plenty o water or everyone. It took 29+ pounds to win. The winner went down to Stockton on the irst day and Big Break on the second. Sat ish came on reaction baits and the bigger ish came on Senkos on Sunday. The second place guy, also got tournament big ish, got ish on Spinnerbaits and Buzzbaits in the north area along the main river. Almost everyone got limits on a variety o baits. My experience was the bite was better on the higher tide.

Report: Today just wasn't our day. Fished down south rom 6am to 2pm. While we managed a good number o ish, they were all small. None over 2lbs and several real dinks. We tried throwing bigger baits and ishing a little deeper, but only the little guys wanted to play. Oh well, we still had un.
