Delta Plugging 5/7/14

I know I'm kind of late to the party, but I just haven't had the resources recently to get out to the delta and hop onto the spring bite. My dad and I made the plan to launch out of B&W and try to

earn a few stripes today. Slept through our alarm's and got a later start then planned. Launched the boat around 1000 and headed towards the SJ. Tried a few spots and we picked up a couple of shakers, but the wind was kicking pretty good. It wasn't unbearable but it wasn't the most enjoyable conditions either. With that we made our was towards the Moke to find some shelter. Worked the area's we knew and it wasn't long before we started hooking up.

We started picking up shakers here and there on white fish traps. No big

schools

, but we were consistently picking on one here and a couple there.

Kept working points hopping around trying to find some bigger fish. Had a couple of doubles along the way.

We did get on a couple of keeper schoolies, but nothing to brag about.

We ended up staying in the Moke all day and I started throwing spooks after 1700 and it was out fishing the fish traps. Feeding my top water addiction.

We stayed until 2000 putting over 30 fish in the boat throughout the day, probably only 7 being over 18 inches.

Kept our limit for a fish taco dinner.

All of our keepers were between 19-21 inches.

Great day on the Delta with dad, I'll have to come back soon to hopefully get on some bigger fish.

Till Next Time Guys
