Delta Meadows 5/22/09

Took today off and decided to try my luck at DM. Arrived around 7:45am and hit the water. It was rather windy there this morning. The wind died down a few hours later. Found some calm areas in the trees. Off the water at noon.

My first cast of the day was a pumpkin Senko. Threw it out, then set the rod down to arrange a few things and study the wind. Noticed my line was moving in a different direction...hooked up a nice fat 17" LMB on my first cast. Well, that was it for most of the day. I did hook a little LMB on a topwater a few hours later. Lots of dinks hitting and letting go.

The big PB's were motoring in and getting ready for the long weekend. I headed out as a parade of yachts were heading into the slough.

Hope you all have a fun, safe weekend..Al

Here's a few pics.









I like this little boat.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!

A Hula Popper. Man that's old school. I haven't even owned one of them since I was 15 and fishing farm ponds.

Strong work!!!

great report Al.   thanks

Al sounds like you had a great day.  That one bass is a very nice one.  I was thinking about hitting the meadows early Sunday morning but may give Consumnes a shot or the port of sac after seeing all the big boats.  I will post up if I do any good.

Good idea Paul. DM will be very busy this weekend. I stopped by the CRP on my way home yesterday. Looked real nice out there.

Nice report Al,

 Love that Older Grand Banks.... 

Delta meadows is a nice spot.  I regret not being able to fish it more.  Nice report.

Thanks for the report Al, That looks like a spot I should try out real soon.

  what grand banks?

Beautiful boat! Can you say, non stop work! Them Hula Popper have caught em'  for decades. Bass haven't changed, only the folks throwin' at em. You wanna show the fish something new, try somthing old...
