Was able to break away for a few hours, so hit the Delta today in the inflatable kayak. Nice, sunny, and warm with a little breeze. Water temperature was just shy of 70 degrees, although the water was high and murky. Fishing was slow. Talked to a couple guys in a big bass boat, and they thought it was very slow as well. In fact, they said they were debating the very topic when I paddled up to them. Anyway, fished here. . .
and there. . . .
And caught this one that tape-measured 17" on a #2 chartreuse and white Clouser:
Here's another picture of him, although he looks all pink from reflections off the kayak, which is red. Trust me, he was actually a clean, normal bass color :
Fun bass, put up a great fight! Caught one other smaller one as well, also on the Clouser. Didn't notice ANY surface activity, and my trademark red/white Tap's Bug was ignored completely. Really looking forward to the water levels and clarity to return to normal. With water conditions as they are, weedbeds are pretty much submerged. Thus, not as many parking spots for the kayak. Still GREAT to get out, though.
