Good tips and info, I will be out there Sunday around tower park and beaver slough
good luck-Future Pro is having a tourney out of tower park this weekend so you may have some company-good luck and let me know how you do.
Hey Steve thanks for the spot on report. Out Wednesday for 7 hours and the big Skunk! Today, Friday, 7 in the boat and several others on the line. Nothing over 2lbs but best day this year so far. Out just after sunrise ran to Frank’s and bite window from about 1100 to 1230 and then closed pretty hard. Thanks for all your hard work and solid info!
Thanks for the report Steve-glad to hear you gotinto some fish-the bite is picking up-keep the reports coming and good luck on your next trip.
I remember in the 80s and 90s 25 to 30lb Stripers from the banks of the delta and Sacramento River. Nothing but schoolies now. Just saying fish has drastically changed.
Thanks- for watching - remember when the limit was 3 fish and it wasn't if you were going to get your limit-it was how large they would be.
yesterday i was out on the boat super slow on the large mouth bass but caught a 20 inch striper on a white chatterbait and caught a 16in striper off a lipless crank bait
Thanks for the report Tony-maybe this week will be the week of the chatterbait-good luck.
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 i’ll be going to bethel island tomorrow on my kayak and i’ll let you know how I do
Nice job my friend 👏🏻
Hey Bent-how's the bite?
Man I’m busy but I’m try goin in two week new baby coming soon my frind go there last Thursday they get 4 black bass but anouther friend yesterday but no luck
Good luck with the baby and you will be on the water when the fishing is much better.
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 yes I’m wait for be better to go
Jerkbait back on !!!! Caught 5 in 3 hours before my shoulder gave out. 5” wacky is coming around also.
Thanks for the report Hog-got lots of info from the FP tourney-looks like the fishing is picking up.
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 I was cruising through franks tract watching people sling fish in the boat. They all looked like 2 pounders.
@@hogwailingforbasswithpaulf727Thats not bad-I think it's great compaired to a couple of weeks ago when there was minimal swinging.
Thanks for the report on the striper I’ll be out there on Saturday. Let see what happens.....
Make sure you send a report-gut gat a report from today-Two guys hooked 6 fish - landed two-8 and 9 lbs so let's hope thats a good sign. No info on what they were using. Good luck.
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 thanks for that Steve I’ll let you know
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 went out to the delta as planned caught two 5 lbs and lost a big one at least 40 inches straightened out my hooks ... also caught a surprise fish which is my pb for bass ... a 5lber in semi clear water but they are in running water...but it was all about colors today. Very picky on color and presentation. They were only taking under spin with a black and green swim bait.....
@@solomonsolomon5208 Thanks for the report Solomon and congrats on your catch-looks like things are picking up.
Steve, have you seen or tried the scam shad? It's very similar to the Manns trailer you use. It also has a open belly that reacts the same. Check it out, I forgot the brand but it should come up when you search "Scam Shad" Thanks again for all your hard work and great video reports. ✌
Thanks Preston-I will definately look up the scam shad-everything looks great on paper so it's great to get first hand info-I have bought lots of crap over the last 50 years.
Well done, really enjoying your videos, stay at it,good info
Thanks Scott hope you get the big one-make sure to send in a report if your out next week-good luck.
First I want to say thank you for your channel. I have been fishing the delta for a few years now and it is good to hear what others are experiencing. Your information has already helped me to improve - Thank you!
You have confused me with your advice on chatterbait trailers in this video. In a previous video (Chatterbait strategies for catching bigger bass) you say to “forget about throwing paddle or craw style baits, baits that have drag on their tail . . .”. Well, doesn’t the recommendation for the replacement of the Mann’s Reel’N bait sort of look like a craw style bait, or a bait that would have “drag on its tail”? Why wouldn’t you recommend something that is closer to the Reel’N like the “HogFarmer Baits Spunk Shad Swimbait” or the “Strike King KVD Perfect Plastic Blade Minnow”? (And, there are others that I think would be closer to the Reel’N.)
Again, thank you for providing this information. Now I have something to look forward to on Thursdays!
Thanks for the support Tony. I get what your saying about Big Bite Baits trailer. In the picture it looks like a craw but in hand it is more of a long and thin cross ower bait-very little drag and has a nice follow -once you see them in action I think you will like them . Your comment is really coincidental-I always say the Delta is a river of contradictions- so many things catch fish and so many strategies-sometimes the baits and strategies cross over and make no sense. Sometimes the cross overs can turn into your biggest fish catchers. P S Lots of options for trailers-let me know if you find a good one and don't be afraid to modify - some baits just need a little mod. to be really great. One more thing about the Big Bite trailer-they are cheep and need no mod. Don't rig them flat like a regular craw on a jig - rig them side ways. Good luck
Thanks! Oh, and now you have the name of your next book: “River of Contradictions - Fishing the Delta”!
@@tonyl3461 Aint that the truth.
I use braid with mono leader 90% of the time. Usually 50lb. braid with 12 to 18 lb mono.
Steve.. nice report. Thanks as always. Heading out to B&W on Wednesday... Hope it is a “Hero” day! And not a “Zero” day!!!!
The bite is improving so good luck-still getting the same worm and chatterbait story-let me know how you do.
For sure...
Steve,
We fished around the B&W resort area yesterday... the wind made it tough to keep the boat in the target area. We managed 3 fish. Biggest was 3.21 on a 6 inch wacky Senko (black/blue flake). The other 2 were on a 5 inch wacky Senko (watermelon/red flake). Lost 2 others. Luckily the rain missed us. No luck on a chatter bait or square bill.
Just got off the river - same for me - water temp dropped to 55% and back to singing the blues-thanks for the report and good luck on your next trip
Great catch on that senko bass! That photo of Dave with that 6lb Large, is my boater I normally get a back seat once a month from May on thru December. He has more experience than me, but I have fished with him for 3 years straight. I have improved with everything he has taught me, and both of us are looking to improve on how to find the fish. Funny thing is, when I am on the fish, I catch them 90% of the time. I feel time on the water is the best experience. If I was out on a boat this week I too would be throwing a weightless wacky in motor oil color and neko it, if I am in a lot of current. Or a dark purple senko. Looks like you are using a 5" senko? some anglers last week were actually throwing a 6" wacky senko in and around weeded points in about 6 feet, which is pulled away from tulles. I assume they are fishing tulle islands or flats... First two hours-outgoing tide would be good I think in that situation; right?
Sounds like you are on the right track. With your persistence your going to see more and more success. P S I will be switching to the 6 in sinko soon.
That guy from experience guide service John described what happened to me at at New Melones reservoir at 9am while trying to troll for trout I was fairly close to shore about 30 to 35 ft below the surface trolling an articulated white fly behind an action wiggle disc as soon as the line counter read 125 ft I'd catch a bass that happened three times and I lost a couple of fish that I think they were also bass cuz none of them fought like a trout I thought I had snagged on submerged debris or something as I was expecting trout to hit not bass before the sun came up I was out in Open water using a gulp killer crawler in orange/ natural color trolled behind a seps strike Master dodger for three smaller size trout for the dinner table caught one trout while I was catching the bass at 9 a.m. till about 11:00 a.m. the two guys that I go with weren't having any luck so they wanted to switch tactics and go for Crappie after that
Het Salvador glad to hear your catching fish-bass can be caught trolling-it's all fun. Thanks for the report.
Man I’ve been seeing some big fish but they aren’t eating lol they just run from my boat
I think thats perty common in early pre spawn-keep at it -the fish will start to get more and more aggressive as spring arrives. What part of the delta are you seeing the shallow water action?
Steve, my buddy and I went out Sunday on the yaks and I caught 2 on the Yamamoto shad worm and 1 on the berkley bad shad. My buddy caught 3 on the shad worm and 2 on the chatterbait.
Thanks for the report Mark-I think your report was on the high side of most reports this week so good job-most anglers are fishing from boats-worms and chatterbaits have been the ticket-good luck and let me know how you do.
Thank you, Saturday will have a rain, hope it can flash some Striper into delta
Let me know how you do-good luck.
great report, I had a couple good days and caught a few each day football jig slow crawled and hopped fast, red squarebill and a Ned rig were the best producers, couldn't get a chatter bite or anything on the big swimbaits. Crankbait bite was really picking up and they were hitting a red craw pattern hard!
Thanks for the report-I forgot to mention in the report that I have been soaking the worm for longer to find more bites. Starting to get more crank bait talk-let's see what happens next week.
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 I had to soak the Ned and a couple jig bites for a bit but also had a couple solid reaction bites snapping the jig and a couple violent strikes on the crankbait! It is picking up, also noticing the bass are starting to spread out.
Thanks for the info Steve keep up the great job, Fish On!
Thanks for the support JoJo - make sure to send me a report if you get out this week-good luck.
Thank you Steve good report as usual.
Thanks Billy-remember to send a report if you get out-good luck.
Hi Steve, is the best way to reach you directly via IG?
indeeponthedelta@gmail.com
Thanks for all ur help Steve. Going out of Pittsburgh tomorrow targeting Sturgeon using Lamprey Eel. My nephew caught 2 20+ lbers last week out of Mcavoys marina.
Thanks for the support Reginald. Good luckand let me knowhow you do-my son gota 42 in. Sturgeon last week-Napa river - having steaks this week.
Did fine today. I caught a 27 inch 9 lb striper and lost 2. My buddy caught a 26 inch 8 lb and lost 2. All the action came midday outgoing tide.
Thats not a bad day-thanks for the report. Bait or gear?
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 a dockrat trout swimbait and a megabass oneten max jerkbait.
@@30minforasnYour the man, thanks.
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 👍
Thanks for sharing Steve
Thanks for watching Coin - make sure to send me a report if you get out this week.
Thanks for the report steve. I'll be back out there this Saturday. 👍
Thanks Danny-did you get my info on the Dobins rod?
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 I did not. Where did you send it?
@@dannyb6000 Gmail Dobyns Siera Series-SA733C Med/Heavey Fast about $160 and I really like it as a chatterbait rod.
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 nice. I'll check it out
Nice intro🎣
Thanks Jeff - things are looking up and the fish are in great shape - I'm hoping for a fantistic spring and summer - can't wait.
Thanks for the update Steve!
Thanks again for watching and make sure to send a report if you get out.
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 I'm not a hero today but I'm not a zero either. Picked up a couple stripers trolling a crankbait. Biggest one was 16 inches.
You are on your way to becoming a hero-things are looking up-thanks for the report.
Hello...Berryessa is closer Steve. No respect.....thanks
Hey Jeff-Berry is a great lake-I don't have a lot of experience on the lake but I have loved the time I have spent at the lake-It's great to be a bass angler in central Calif.- maybe we should trade a trip?
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 sounds great. I’m going with a guide later this month. I will gps his spots. I’m assuming he will start at the mouth of the lake. It should be great. I’ll give you a report. All,the best
Keep me posted and let me know how you do.
I have been using the BBB on my bladed jigs for sometime they are great. I do fishing reports in my area and I added your channel to resources I have in the description. A lot of guys fish the Delta from this area. Take care
Thanks DRW I appreciate the support and will be checking out your channel-who makes the BBB.
@@indeeponthedeltawithstevec5997 Sorry, Big bite baits
Same one you highlighted in the VID. I ran across these and been using them ever since. I will be trying them on a swim jig, should work.
