      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.....
      City: TRACY

      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.

      Water Temp: 57-64.5

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: Arrived mid-day Fri. launched out of B&W and ran down to middle river and threw senkos and brush hogs, fish seemed to be of rip-rap points with sparse tules close by. Wind was pretty fierce by 4:00 so back on Sat. Fished Franks area lots of boaters bite was good until the tide change. Quality fish were on the river side from the bank out to about 8'. We caught fish on blades, senkos, brush hogs, and big fish 6'1" came on our fly rods on a flashtail while casting for stripers. Many thanks to the gentleman in the aluminum skiff on the striper tips. We could not get the bite going after the tide change, so back to Reno. We never got a quantity bite but was very happy with the quality. Good Luck and tight lines.

      Water Temp: 57.9

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: Man, what a difference a couple od days makes. Just when that water temp was screaming up to 63-65 degrees Tuesday & Wednesday, it drastically dropped on Friday back down to 57.9 first thing in the morning and seemed to never climb much more than a couple of degrees. This made fishing a lot tougher on two guide trips Friday & Saturday. We were able to find about 25 keepers each day with a big fish of over 6 pounds each day. These fish really backed off and we had troubles getting em to eat the Senko on Friday, with the exception of our first three fish, up in the tulles, after that, not another bite, not even on Saturday. We actully found more fish on points in about 8-15 foot of water, we could only catch these on brown jigs with pork trailers. The bite really seems to git better towards the later part of the day when we have these cold fronts move through.
      City: Oakley

      Tips: If they ain't where you were catching em yesterday and it got a little colder, back off and go look for them. Where I found fish on tulles fer two days, I found em 300 yards off the bank out in the weeds in the flats. Same thing held true in the narrow sloughs, only have to move 20 yards and fish deeper.

      Report: Fished the hook t.o.c. - managed to pull about 17 pounds each day. It was good enough for second place (we missed winning by ounces. We had no one pattern, we pulled into any one spot and threw a spinner bait, if we got no bite we would throw a crank bait and wham, or we would chase both with a worm and thunk! It seems if you pulled into an area and threw the whole tackle box you would get paid. Chartruese spinnerbaits, mustard colored speed traps and 6" black worms thrown in stained (not muddy) water. Try launching or running south for clearer water. Hope this helps you boat some fish.

      Report: Fished New Bass with partner TommyP. Tough bite for us. We managed to boat 3 fish for 8#'s. Two fish on a white spinnerbait with white blades one on a senko. Fish were very shallow in 2' of water or less. We had to find stained water instead of muddy water for the fish.
