    Greg I've looked at charts for the Delta and the different things that may affect the fishing! You have a spider web of waterways to deal with and i can see it will be a challenge at least at times. I think maintaining your focus is what has to be done, just as you found that female after sorting through those little fish. I hope your tournament goes well and you find those big females.

    Do u ever go over the drop (the steep drops that are in the delta) and drop a jig?
    You gotta find a nice drop and jig somthing that will move up and down not side to side. You can bait the jig as well.
    I find it a nice switch when it's warm you never know what you'll pick up from bass, big catfish, even sturgeon. Have a blast.

    Greg ur videos have made me realize how similar the California delta and the Delaware river are I swear I been experiencing the exact same thing here it seems as if all the big fish just disappeared. I haven't seen a fish over 5lbs this year and not even other people have even yak fisherman I've ran into that have literally wondered same thing but. I think sooner or later they have to come by.

    The potential for Giant Florida strain Largemouth, on the Delta is phenomenal. Caught a lot of big bass on blades, but my POB is an 11.4 oz. toady. Caught it fluttering a 5/8 oz. Rod Strainer spinnerbait, on a riprap bank at the back of a large marina, 3 miles north east of Buckley Cove. hint...
