Delta Stripers 3/4/15

Got the invite from Rick to head back out to B&W with him after work and I was game to give the delta another shot after our last outing which could have been better. On the water just about 1500, first spot I made was able to make short work of getting the skunk off of the boat with a little greenie on my jerkbait.

Nothing else working here though so up the river we went looking for the striper schools. Found a rock wall holding fish and Rick was able to get the first keeper size fish in the boat.

Rick threw the swimbait and I tossed a jerk bait around and we weren't on any hot action, but we had a pretty steady pick of some smaller schoolies on each bait for a little over an hour.

The jerkbait seemed to be getting a few more bites, so Rick switched up and we continued to rip a few more schoolies and some shakers out of this stretch. After we had our fun there we went a little further up river looking for more fish. We didn't find many, but Rick managed to stick our best of the day on his jerkbait here.

Didn't have a scale with us, guy maybe ran 6-7lbs.

Further up we were both able to get our first fish on new Katch baits.

Rick's TW fish came unbuttoned right before we could get a picture but he got his on the rainbow trout colored plug.

Called it a night around 1830 as it got dark. Very good and fun outing for a few hours on the delta and had a lot better action from the last time we came out. Probably put about a dozen fish in the boat with missing a few more in between.

Great afternoon on the water thanks for taking me out Rick!
