San Pablo Res / Delta bass

My plan was to go take advantage of the recent plants at San Pablo reservoir.  All was well, got one and LDR two.  I found a good spot where they were stacked up, getting hits at each pass on a repala @ five feet.  That's when the wind picked up and made life miserable.  I should have known by the fog over the hills....

Decided to head closer to home and check out the delta bass bite.  Caught four on a smoke colored senko, biggest was a little over 3 lbs.  The wind decided to come after me here as well.  All bass and raccoons were released.

nice fish!, I love how close we can get to the critters in our yaks.  last summer my buddy and I had a doe and a HUGE 4-point (CA) buck bound across the river about 15 yards in front of us if only it was in September .....    maybe this year I take the bow with me 

At first i saw that vegetation and wondered if there was an area in the S.P. res that I missed!! and then remembered that you went to the delta also........ i've seen those stacked-up archs of trout at different lakes but could never get one to OPEN UP.

keep up the hunt-downs and postin them pics too! 

Good thing you didn't get too close to that Racoon- they are usually sick if they are out in the day time (nocturnal)...

Thought it was odd to see one hanging out in the daylight.  I came around a corner and kind of startled him, after I snapped off the pic he ran back into the bush. 

XSquid did you get your limet of trout. When the wind keeps up at Pablo it is miserable.

No limit, just boated the one.  That was the frustrating part.  The bite was on but the wind was pushing me around pretty good.  Can't tell by the pic, but out in the main body it was rediculous.  Lost one because I opted to adjust my position with the paddle, must have dropped the rod tip.  I wish there was a wind speed sensor we could check online for that place!

Just depends, raccoons are mostly nocturnal at best but more important raccoons are opportunists. Here in the delta you will often see them along the waters edge on a low tide looking for stuff to eat. In highly populated areas we often only see them at night because it is safer and easier for the raccoons to forage. But with almost no real predators out on the delta there is less reason to hide all day and perhaps miss the best feeding opportunities.
