Thought I'd share this report from another board about fishing in the Delta.......


Quote
try 3 mile slough and the moth ball fleet w/ eel for some good sturgeon and the same spots plus rio vist bridge w/ chovies and dines for some good striper action. back around the isleton area try pitching live mice (get them for 1$ at pet shops. i know dosent sound nice but works very well hook em under skin behind neck.) around the weeds and reeds. good luck. ps all places are decent for the kitties on dine and chovies. oh almost for got gohst and grass shrimp wprk great for all.


I'm sure the folks at PETA would love to hear about this unique "live bait - lure"  :smt118


I can see a conversation going...

PETA Officer: "Hey! Is that a live mouse at the end of your fishing line?"

Beuford the Fisherman: "No sir! I'm just teaching my pet mouse "Mickey" - how to swim..."

PETA Officer" Oh yeah? Why is there a hook behind it's neck?"

Beuford the fisherman: "That's not a hook.....that's a piercing....it's the new fad in town"

Next in the news, a kayak fisherman is in serious condition after being bitten 25 times by rattlesnakes.  Appearantly the reptiles boarded his craft in an attempt to eat some mice that were being used as bait....

I've heard of mice as bait for muskie, but not bass.  Interesting.

They will also eat snakes, small birds, frogs and small children. Actually fly fisherman often fish for Bass using a pattern spun from deer hair to look like a mouse.You cast it and make it look like its swimming on the retrieve. The largest of the Largemouth Ive ever caught was on this pattern. It scared the shit out of me the way the Bass attacked the thing

I heard that you were supposed to use kittens, not mice, for muskie...
