Delta report
4-9-16
Last Saturday I fished Sonora bass’s delta tournament out of ladds. I wasn’t able to get any pre fishing in so I stayed local and grinded it out. Water temp was 65 and water clarity was about a foot. I started in 14mile slough and was able to quickly pick up a limit for about 10lbs cranking. The bites were there but just small fish. I was throwing a River2sea biggie smalls and papa in cold blooded color. I ran to pixie slough and started flipping and punching, had one fish for about 4lbs come off just short of the boat while punching. I decided I to make a run back out to the main channel towards Stockton and start cranking again. It immediately paid off with a 5lber. On a couple hundred feet of bank there seemed to be one sweet spot, so I ran it over and over. It was a slightly deeper bank with a bit of a cove to it. I was able to eventually cull up to 18lbs and take third for the event. 21 pounds is what won, almost all of the top 5 teams reported catching there fish on worms.
