      Report: What a day on the River! Partner and I started out slow with no topwater takers around Franks. No ish in the boat by 8:30a. Switched to lippin jigs and plastics and stuck a ew ish and dumped a 7+ on a jig. Started ollowing the Low tide down Old River. Pulled into a drainage area and whacked'em good on white speed traps. They were chasing shad so i decided to throw the Z-spook again. Wham! 8# striper! Then we stuck a ew more largemouths on topwater and traps. We stayed in this one area thru the last o the outgoing and beggining o the incoming tide. Caught 5 ish on consective cast two times! We caught 35 ish in this area but still no real quality ish. Then ran up middle river and started lippin tules on incoming water. Stuck some nice ish and started putting some weight in the boat, including a 5#. Ran to Dissappointment/Whites area and continued lipping tules. Stuck some more quality ish including a 4.5#. Ran back towards Franks and stuck another 5# on tules. We called it quits at 3pm and had boated around 60 ish!! I've had some 30-40 ish days beore but this was the best bite I've ever had on the Delta. Best 7 Went around 23#.

      Report: Went with a riend o mine this sunday. The irst ish was caught was buy my riend. It was a monster 3.2 pound spotted bass. It was caught at about 6:30-7:00. The rest o the day he caught all the ish and my other riend caught 2 1 1/2 pound spotted. I was the only one who didn't catch ish. So I told my riend to swich baits with me to see i that was what the ish were biting on, so he used my bait and still caught all the ish! Man, I wondered how how did that? Oh well, I still had un.
