I fish the delta regularly, I have a tracker 175. I actually love the aluminum oat out there cause it sits a little higher in the water which allows me to get into some skinny water that fiberglass boats either cant or don’t want to ding up their 80k plus boats. The down side of the aluminum boats o...

Well monte we might need to go crankin together

nate50

You nailed it, I prefer to reaction fish and am guilty of force feeding them moving baits. Or at least trying to lol.

nate50

Hey everyone, I wouldn’t consider my self a great delta angler by any stretch, but I usually catch fish and enjoy my day out fishing just not many of the delta giants that people talk about. I was out this past Sunday (4/21) launched out of B and W fished the weed flat by Perry’s and got a 7lb on a ...

I use braid to a mono leader for everything. Maxima green mono is my go to. The braid helps with the sensitivity on long cast and finesse techniques. I also don’t have to worry about all the memory in the line, since I’m only using it as a leader. Finesse set ups 20lb braid to mostly 10lb mono Flipp...

Hey everyone,

What is the best way to clean out the live wells? If I put soap in there and scrub and rinse it out, am I going to hurt/kill the fish I put in there? How do you guys clean out the live wells

Thanks Nate

Logan and Damon I sent both of you a text earlier today.

nate50

Well… do one of you guys want to do it lol

Hey fishing community I broke my transducer off the back of my boat. I have the new transducer i just don’t know how to run the wire. If you know how to do it, I’m willing to pay you. I’d prefer if you were able to come to me. I live in Galt, just outside of Sacramento. I’m willing to pay for the in...

Hey everyone, im hoping someone out there can run a new transducer wire for me. My old transducer broke off. I have a new one that just needs to be attached to the boat and the new wire ran up to the console. Its a tracker 175 (aluminum boat). Im located in galt, im willing to pay what ever the goin...

Hey everyone, is there a place where I can see river flows? I was out fishing the other day in the northern part of the delta and the strong current flow made the main river almost un-fishable.

nate50

Hey everyone, I broke off the transducer on the back of the boat. Im not sure exactly how I did it. Is there anyone that will install a new transducer? I’d prefer if someone would come to me. Im assuming it’s not a long job to do. Im willing to pay extra for the travel of coming to me. 916 five four...

What course or courses do I need to take? It’s not very clear which course to take

nate50

Hey everyone,

How is the water level at new melones? Are they still using the lower launch ramp?

nate50

I use the shimano expride 7’3 xheavy. I’m 5’11 i can’t twitch the rod pointed down or it’ll touch the water but I can point the rod at like 7 o’clock and work the frog perfectly. I like the expride cause it’s super light so I don’t get tired froggin all day. It has plenty of horse power to rip them ...

nate50

Do happen to have any wakebait versions of the shell cracker that you would want to sell?

nate50

My suggestion is go to tactical bassin website and search for a-rigs. Matt and Tim have done an excellent job over the years explaining how to set up the rigs and how to fish them.

nate50

Hey everyone, I live in galt and I need a reliable mechanic. Where do you guys take your rigs out this way

nate50

Bring frogs and flipping gear (light and heavy) should do the trick. It should be wide open. Northern delta (walnut grove area) is a lot of wood and rock. The further south you go the grass and tullies come into play. The launches on the delta loop (pirates lair and b&w) have campsite/cabin and ...

Hey everyone

I’m looking to see what buzz baits run true (not on their side) with a buzz toad or small swim bait as a trailer. I love throwing buzz baits but get frustrated that they don’t run true. Which ones work best for you?

nate50

It’s a 4 stroke. I forgot that part.

nate50

Hey everyone

I’m looking for a mobile marine mechanic to perform a basic motor service. The motor is a 2014 mercury 60hp. I live in galt. You can contact me with a private message or my phone number 916 547 six three 67

nate50

Thanks guys

nate50

Was that a hard and/or expensive fix?

nate50

Hey guys, I had a motor issue the other day on the water. When I first launched the boat I idled out of the marina and went to take off and the motor died. I pumped the ball and it fired up and ran like normal. I fished the a few hours then started back to the ramp. I idled out of the slough and wen...

nate50

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a wake bait G2 shell cracker. I’d prefer the crappie or blue gill color. I’m will to buy it or I can trade a plunker for it. See attached photo

nate50

Hey everyone,

Has anyone been to camanche after the storm? Is the water starting to come up? I’m hoping to find a reaction bite tomorrow and that normally helps it for me.

nate50

Thanks everyone for their replies. I knew I was on borrowed time with the battery it was an interstate battery that came with the boat, so not one of the high end batteries. It’s a bass tracker so I don’t have a ton of space, I’m running optimum blue top size 34 for my trolling motor. Anyone have an...

nate50

Hey everyone, I need some help with finding my power issue. I will start 2 fishing trips ago, I got on the lake around 8am everything worked good, I was running 2 fish finders like normal, then about noon I went to start the motor and dead battery. I moved the cables over to my other batteries and i...

I wonder if a belly weighted swim bait hook would keep it from spinning.

nate50

I wanted to follow up with a little report.... I was out there on Monday and fished pretty much sun up to sun down. My partner and I put together a limit for about 9-10lbs so nothing to brag about. We caught them early on main lake points in about 20ft then we couldn’t buy a bite till the evening. W...

nate50

Thanks guys, how was the water level?

nate50

Hey everyone, I’m planning on heading to new melones this week and haven’t been there since early spring. Can anyone give me any lake info? Water temp/clarity... have the fished gone deep yet or can they still be found chasing bait in the shallows. A starting point would be awesome thanks in advance

Hey everyone, I have a blue gill colored injected plunker, in very good condition. I’ve thrown it a handful of times I prefer other walking baits. I’m willing to trade it for a shell cracker, prefer crappie color or the blue gill with the purple on its tail. I’m in the Elk Grove/galt area. Nate 916 ...

nate50

Does anyone know what launch they are going out of? I’m hitting the delta tomorrow and don’t want to be in their way

nate50

Mark - does the med heavy cast the 5in well? My fear is with a med heavy the 5in won’t load the rod well enough on the cast to creat accurate casting.

nate50

Do you guys use a fast action rod or a moderate fast on the expride?

nate50

Hey everyone, I’m looking at getting a dedicated Senko rod for both 5in and 6in baits. I typically prefer Shimano rods. I was thinking something along the lines of 7’ med fast action. My issue is Shimano doesn’t make an expride in those specs. I checked the Zodias and nothing either. I don’t want to...

nate50

Thanks guys, I was out in the Stockton area over the past weekend and did pick up a couple jig fish on tullies clean of grass. This year it just hasn’t been like years past, I use to load the boat with a jig. I haven’t flipped the jig on the outer grass lines typically I will punch or Senko the edge...

nate50

Hey everyone,

I ask this knowing that it’s tourney season so not sure if I will get any responses. In the years past I’ve had a ton of success flipping tullies with a grass jig (not punching). I haven’t been able to get bite on jigs consistently. Has any one found a jig bite?

nate50

My set up is 30lb braid to about a 3ft leader 12lb-18lb mono. The leader depends on how line shy the fish are and what structure I’m dragging it through.

nate50

Hey everyone

I know camanche reopened to residents only, has that been changed and opened up to everyone?

nate50

Yes the ramp is open. It has been a zoo trying to launch or get out of the water. I’m guessing now that other ramps are starting to open the ramp is a little less crowded. I don’t know which way you are coming from but they have been doing construction on hwy 12 and shutting the road down. If you ar...

nate50

What’s the payout format? Winner take all?

nate50

Is it open to everyone or just residents on the county?
