      Report: Did a guide trip today with a couple rom Marysville. Let at 6 out o Ladds in Stockton and ished 14 Mile with buzzbaits and senko's. With the incom'in tide it was wide open. They caught approx. 20 bass by 9AM with they biggiest in the boat at little over 3lbs with a couple lost that would o exceeded that. From there I took them into Pixley with the tide comin in or a rog bite. Didn't exist or us, but the buzzbait was still working and the senko was the predomite bait that they wanted. Most o the ish between the two spots in size were 1 1/2 to 2 1/4bls. Only spent a hour in Pixley and went hunting or larger ish with the tide still comin in.Went into Telephone Cut ishing the last 1/3 o the cut. Water was stained to gin clear throwing buzzbaits and rog's. Caught around 5 more with a huge lost on a rog that took it to the weeds bye bye 0/1. From there went to Little Potatoe and proceeded to catch ish on senko's but with better quality ish. Missed more than we but in the boat. End result or the day around 35 ish with a 3rd o that in missed ish. It was exceptional day. Bottom o my boat looked like a senko actory.
      City: Castro Valley

      Tips: Advice,, ind the ish with reaction type baits such has the buzzbait in white. I you ind a bank that has quality ish on it. Come thru it again with a senko and you will at least double the hits over the buzzbaits with the quality possibly better.

      Report: Bobby Barrack guide trip out o Lundborg rom 5:30 till 3:30. Explained we've been catching numbers but ew 3's and over, we wanted better quality ish. Can't tell you where we ished, but Bobby did an outstanding job o putting us on a quality topwater bite. Started o with buzzbaits and spooks, then on to rogs. Great to see the master in action. Overall, we boated about 20, three in the 1-2 range, the rest rom 3-5lbs. Very impressive! Best ive around 19-20lbs. That's not including that our bite to ish ratio on rogs was under 40% and that we lost another 6 or so chunks that were legitimately hooked and just got buried in the weeds beore we could get em' up. My girlriend doesn't like the big rog rods so she was trying to do it on my heavy 6'6" spinner bait rod and lost a ew good ones too. Bobby Barrack guide trip was worth every penny in my opinion...

      Report: Fished down south rom 5:30 till 1:00. Great buzzbait bite just outside the Lazy M in Italian, turned out to be mostly stripers, 13"-19". Spent the rest o the day tossing spinner baits, senko's and o course, more buzzbaits. Boated 17, mostly 1's and 2's with one just over 3.

      Report: Fished only the aternoon in the south delta. Unlike last week it was windy. Saw lots o bass guys on the water or the middle o the week. Got 12 ish up to 3lbs. Blades got the better ish. Tides were all screwed up (due to the pumps?), never got the real low tide in the aternoon.
      City: Brentwood

      Tips: Guys on water were real riendly, but when did all dinks become known as "males"? A small bass is simply a small bass unless you see it guarding a nest.

      Report: Fished new water once again...this time in the Franks Tract area and ound some nice ish. Another 20+ ish day with 13 in the 2-4lb range. All ish were caught on Spinnerbaits, zippers, and senkos. Had a solid 15lb limit (5) by 9:00 AM which is rare or me. Fished rom 6:30 out o Orwood and inished at Noon. The usual structure...lay down trees, pipes, rock, weeds, and tules. Most ish were caught on the bank or not ar rom it. Spinnerbait ish were all caught at the outside weedline.
      City: Disco Bay

      Tips: Still looking or the big ish, but comes with paying ones dues I suppose. Fish real tight to structure and make sure your spinnerbait is hitting something whether it be tules or the weedline. See you on the water.

      Report: Started down south, then to Franks, Dissappointment, Rock and back down south. First ish in the boat went 5.8 on a Fluke. Several more on the Fluke and on a spinnerbait. My girlriend took quite a ew pitching senko's as usual. Best ive (about 15 1/2lbs) in the boat beore 10am all down south. Nothing but dinks the rest o the day (17 in all). Found a ew bed ish but were very skittish and not locked on. Last weeks cold must have shut em down. Too bad, one looked about 7 and another probably a 5, but we never had a chance

      Report: Went out with the idea o doing the same stu as last week and had no success. No ish on senkos at all,ished the normal milk runs and the ish seemed to be suspended.I pitched senkos in the trees or two hours and did not get one bite.Went to grubs on a darter head and picked up one bass and one trout,then split shot pro leeches or three more bass largest 2 lbs.This colder weather has certaintly slowed the action or me. Probably a better bite later in the day when the water warms up.Oh well the trout made a good lunch.

      Report: Fished One Bass FuturePro on the 6th and Western Bass FuturePro Class tournament on the 14th.New Bass inished with 16.8 lbs or middle o the road inish. Fished South and hit a good early morning spinnerbait bite (wh/wh) 5 ish up to 2.5 lbs. Fished disco without any luck. Moved to another location and began hitting better ish. Partner nailed 6.8 lb on mad craw tube. We proceeded to catch 15+ ish within the next hour plus all in the 2lb category. Some on Senko, others on mad craw tube. Also, hit 3+ on white spinnerbait during the surge. All action was incoming to high tide or outgoing in the AM. Good day but couldn't get the second big ish to join our 6+ riend.Tourney two was a nightmare in terms o weather. Fished out o Ladd's (new water) and missed the morning bite entirely (1 senko ish). Headed up 14 mile and didn't do much better. Caught 5.6 lb on Senko and then nothing until we headed back to the main river. Nearly capsized due to cigarette boat parade. Anyway, started cranking (white) and spinnerbait (wh/wh) and started nailing dink ater dink. Eventually ended up catching (3) 14 inch ish and partner nailed (1)2+ lb. Limit o 12.6. Considering the weather o.k. Couldn't get a jig bite at all.
      City: discover bay

      Tips: The usual. For size use Jig/Tube baits, as well as, the old standbye. First year o Bassin' on the Delta and still learning. Catching ish consistently, but not with any size. CATCH and RELEASE. I think Don makes a great point about limiting the tournaments during this period. My girl was ready to drop her eggs. See on the water. TG
