Delta camp out fish out Nov 6-8

[Spicytuna1]

So I was thinking of doing a group deal to Pyramid that weekend and on my other board the interest was lost.

Then I thought what an idiot, if I have that weekend clear and so do a handful of others I might as well try and make something of it.

I was out at Sherman Island last weekend and saw they allow trailers RV's and tents. Exactly what I needed to pull something like this off. That place is a top notch and clean facility.

So I am posting it here, I want to try replicate the Awesome LMB group trip I did in May. Now its for Stripers though.

Need boats and bodies please let me know who is interested.

If its anything even close the the LMB gig it will be an outstanding time with some great people.

I am pretty sure that weekend is Striperfest and it not a ridiculous boat ride to get to Bethel to be a part of it from Sherman.

As long as I can get that weekend free, I'm in.

Glad to hear it buddy.

Will be good to see you again.

Got my fingers crossed.

Will most likely be able to swing a full day, first light till dinner time. Multiple-day hall pass is very iffy.

[Spicytuna1]

Bump for anyone that might be interested.

It will be a very good time with some solid guys. You really are missing out if you do not go.

We will still be in Florida.

This is a very good time for fly fishing in the Delta.

We had two Kiene's overnight Delta LMB outings a few years back at Lundburg's Landing.

Anglers in float tubes, pontoon boats, canoes, kayaks and small prams did the best.

That was a fun trip. Me and Ed had a great day fishing.

[Dan LeCount]

I'll be there Dave! Should be a blast.

There is currently construction along 3 mile bridge with resulting one way traffic. Traffic was backed up on Friday to the Antioch Bridge headed north and from the Rio vista bridge headed south. Antioch bridge to 3 mile bridge was one hour.

[Spicytuna1]

Ouch. That is going to suck. Thank you for the heads up

[Spicytuna1]

Alright,

Starting to tighten this thing up.

Please let me know if you are interested in coming?

After some back and forth the Striper Mini gathering finally came around. Turned to be a handful of really good dudes a solid kid and a good weekend.

The fishing starting out slow but picked up as the weekend moved on.

It looked a little something like this:

At the tail end of our time on the water on day 2 something incredible happened. While running wide open through a shallow portion of the Delta the kid and I noticed a fish swimming on the surface. We immediately ran over to investigate and found a large Striper cruising the surface. As we approached she tried to dive away but could not. There was a 30# leader coming out of his gullet and the swivel and weight it was attached to was tethered to the weeds. The poor guy didn’t stand a chance and would have swam till he had nothing left. Thanks to our curiosity we were able to cut the line and send her on her way:

Was pretty damn awesome to be a part of it.






Thank you to all that came out, whether for the weekend for a day. We had a crew as solid as it gets and damn it that was a fun time.





Ended getting caught in the act of my tuck and roll to get the boat back on the trailer. You have to distribute the body weight is what I always say:

Great time, Dave! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Hey Dave,
Zach and I had a great time. He really like blasting around the delta in the bass boat.

Thanks
