Summer summer summer timeeee. Reaction baits and top water are in right now. Most fish are post spawned and are hungry. I just dragged this over top of submerged vegetation and this big boy came out of nowhere.

Every time I go to the Delta...all I can think about is having an 8+ pounder just crush a Strike King Rage Bug as I flip it into the endless cover out there....but not today. I did however have some pretty good success with a Texas Rig and a blue craw Senko in 10-15 feet depth on any distinct river turns or points. No big'ns to brag about....But there's always a way to find fish out there...

Very slow day. Most of the fish came from rip rap.

As usual...I threw a little bit of everything today...and as usual, my success turned on dramatically once I pulled the Strike King arsenal out. It was so hot out that I think the fish either went deep or pulled up into shady spots. I was pitching a Texas Rig Rage Bug (PB&J) into the alleys and nooks in the heavy grass areas. Or I could also cast a Neko right on the outside of the grass line with an Ocho (Big Tex). I just slowly cruised the banks, going back and forth with both and had myself a day! No big'n's to brag about, but plenty of 1-2lb fun the entire morning.
