Delta Bass (3/23/09)

Today was by far the best day bass fishing I have ever had.

I got on the water around 10:00 am.  I fished in the tules and weeds  and finally got my first fish on a Senko around noon.  It measured 16 inches and was going to be my first AOTY fish entered.  I looked all over my kayak and couldn't find my camera  .   I left it in my truck.  I was about a mile away at this point and debated whether or not to go back and get it.  I finally decided to go get it "just in case."  - It turned out to be a great decision.

A while later I made it back to where the first fish was caught. The wind was howling at this point so  I would find a protected spot, make and few casts, and then move onto the next protected spot spot.

At about 4:00 pm with only one fish caught so far I decided to make my way back to the truck.  The wind had died down a bit and was going to blow at my back all the way back to the marina.  The wind puched me as I guided myself along the levee bank with my rudder.  I also changed my approach and decided to throw a crank bait at the rip rap.  After about the 10th cast, this happened . . . . (it measured 21 inches and was my personal best LM)





 

 . . . . . Once that fish was let go.  I went about another 20 feet and no more than three casts later I got this one: 

It measured about 23.5 inches and is my personal best.

Nice day all around
Congratulations on your personal best

Yeah, congrats man.  It is warming up out there, hopefully mother nature is nice to us this weekend.

Duuuuuude!!!  Those are awesome fish.  Good job sticking with it despite the wind.  I tend to throw temper tantrums when it blows like that. 

Man o man those are nice fish! I am glad Im headed out tomorrow. I already had the kayak loaded up for tomorrow and was thinking about not going but I change my mind =)

WTG on those buckets Jason. Nice looking fish. Thanks for going back to the truck
and getting your camera.

Congrat on your "football" shape basses! 

WoW... good to hear that you went back for the camera. great report.

Nice fish! Looks like you had a blast, your smiles almost as big as the fish

Nice fish Jason.  Glad you got on a great bite out there.  Cranking rip-rap is one of my favorite tactics.

I finally decided to go get it "just in case."
