Delta Bassin'

[John H]

The stripers seem to be evaporating from the Delta or at least from the part of the Delta I am fishing. The last couple of times out I found some but this morning I got one dinker striper which is the worst striper catch I have had there since mid January. Fortunately some bass and a couple of crappie were biting. Next time out I think I will be calling it a bass fishing trip. It might be a little early but seems like about time to start trying some topwater. One pretty nice bass today, a turtle that let me get close to him which is unusual, some Sunday boaters and a lot of bankies. Fun times.


Female northwestern pond turtle. I checked it out on the California Herps website which is really a great resource.


Largemouth bass. I did not have to look that up on the internet.
