      Report: Launched out o Orrwood Saturday around 6:00amHeaded up towards Holland resort. Between the two I landed 9 keepers, 4 in one hole that I caught on a white w/black spinnerbait. The others came on senkos and a buzzbait. Only two rog blowups or the weekend. First time in area so I kind o got lost but eventually got to discovery bay the long way. Somewhere there is a train that cuts through the delta and the bridge closest to Disco bay there is a levee o rocks with no moss (ew reeds). I pulled six o the wall around 1:30 pm including a 61/2lb Stripper. All came on a crawdad wiggle wart with yellow eyes. No more ishin that day, Sunday got out late 9:00am 2 senko ish (salt and pepper) 3 on the wiggle and 1 on a bluegill color crank. Plan to do it again Friday, hope it cools down and the skiers give me a break. Small boat, big waves, very challenging. Man that guy skis ast and don't those rich guys have anything else to do than run their gigantic Miami Vice speed boat up and down the sloughs at top speed???

      Report: Got a late start, launched at the Lazy M at noon. Stayed down south. Caught a nice 2 1/2lb rog ish right o the bat. Had at least a dozen more blow up on the rog but couldn't hook'em (I hate that). Got smart and started throwing a rootbeer senko behind the rog blow-ups and picked up a ew o em. Mostly ones and two's. Took a two hour break to ski and tube with the girlriend. Back at it around 5, got a 3lb'er on a pink luke in Italian, lost another. Finished throwing a buzzer or the last hour or so o light. Boated another 4 or 5 ish included a second 3lb'er. Missed 2 or 3 including one I'd have to guess was at least a our. WHERE'S ALL THE BIG FISH THIS YEAR? I HAVEN'T BOATED ANYTHING OVER A 4 ON THE DELTA SO FAR.....

      Tips: Fished mostly rocks and docks. Most o my ish hit very aggressively. Fish the shadows during mid day.

      Report: Got out Sunday morning and launched at B&W. The wind didn't seem too bad until we got on the main channel and even worse when we entered Frank's Tract. It was a real "mutter", until we made it to Old River. Fished an outgoing tide in the calmer area o Quimley throwing Flukes and Senkos into the outer tule area dropping into deeper water. No luck at all, so we decided to conront the wind and moved in the Old River channel looking or rocky areas between the tule/weeds. It was tough ishing, especially or me driving the boat, but my partner Bill did O.K. as he hauled in a couple o 2# throwing Red/Char Timber Crank (a shallow runner). It took me near the end o the day or me to inally hook something decent, i you call a 2.5# decent with a char spinner bait with single colorado blade. It was tough ishing overall, but it still beats working.
