Rainy day on the delta 3/22

Arrived to black clouds and high winds. Started throwing some cranks and hooked up with a small striper. Drew a blank for the next hour and finally hooked up with a small largemouth. Paddled over to another productive spot and pulled three more largemouth and thats all I could catch. Rained off and on for my 4 hours on the water and the wind quit completely to glass when the tide turned which was pretty wierd. I have a video clip of fighting a fish, but camera in the lap didnt do justice. Need to build a mount someday soon.

Nice work Jeff.  The tail of that striper really stood out to me.  The thing looks like a fan - don't know that I've seen anything like it.

Your pictures sure make the trip seem much more productive than the report.  I was thinking, man what a down trip but the pictures say otherwise.  Good stuff.

You are right about the tail, I didnt notice it until you pointed it out. Wierd. I dont mind fishing in the rain. As long as its not windy. I lost one other largemout at the yak when it spit the hook at me, and lost another small striper as well. Pretty slow out there.

Jeff

Pretty slow out there.

I'll take one of your slow days any time!

Great report, Jeffrm - love the video!  You're in full-on R&D mode and ready to bust out.  Love it, Man.   

Remember to "go Abking" on the fish if it's big!   

"Get in the kayak, you F$#%*ing piece of S&%*!!!"   

Nice work out there Jeff, its good to see them continue to hit the cranks.  Its only a matter of time before you nail another big striper too.  Have fun at New Hogan this weekend.

Jeff-

Way to brave the elements and get some fish. Diaper stripers are a good sign... I'm thinking if the small ones are around, the big ones shouldn't be far behind. But, I'm not a Delta pro... so who knows... the big ones could be anywhere. I can't wait to get back out on the Delta. That place just looks fishy all over.
