Took a newbie to the delta yesterday for a first time out after stripers. Got to Sugar Barge about 7:00am and saw that the tide was very high and not moving. Talked with Doc Cedar and he said things were a bit slow for the past week.
Well, if the tide is topped out now, then we need to come back later when things are moving and catch the outgoing.
In the meantime, hit a few of the backwater bays and sloughs off Connection and Mildred. Ended the morning with 10 keepers up to 8#s.
After lunch headed back to False River and Arena Cove area only to find the tide still coming in???? This didn't make any sense since it was high as heck early in the morning. Gave it a little time but didn't find any around Fisherman's Cut or the San Joaquin either.
Keep hitting those back waters in tight to the tules. Bluegill patterns and colors worked great yesterday.
