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...

Striped BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureLaydownsStripers are slowly moving back into the Delta. Walking bait when there was a subtle wind is the perfect combo for top water.

Fished the windy Wednesday nighter with friend since my boat is out of action at the moment. Ran around south. Don’t do so well. Topwater was not happening. No frog blowups. However choppo got bit by dinks on riprap. Threw the Baitsanity bluegill and got smoked on that by more rats. Nothing on Senko. Nothing punching. Blades jig got bit by two keeper fish. Partner caught the other 3 on a free rig with craw style bait. Day 3 high pressure 100+ degrees out. It was brutal. Should have slowed down and punched more by he hates punching. Who hates punching. Oh wait I know who ;-) .
