Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureReedsWas a beauty day out but the boat traffic muddied up the main San Joaquin River. Chatterbaits and punching weren’t working, and switching to a 6” black and blue Senko was the ticket.

Flipped this at the base of some brushes and all of a sudden my line started to take off. Set the hook and it was fish on! The Ryugi hook was sharp and penetrated well. Exist drag is nothing like we have heard before and the 872 kept him pinned. It was a fun fight for a pre spawn fish

Was shotting for crappie and this 4lb largemouth smacked it! Mastif held well and I was able to land this big girl. Finesse fishing for the win!

Flipping the worm between the grass line and the rock shoreline was the key to this bite.

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...
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationHigh tide 1 stumbled upon some submerged vegetation and I rolled this megabass swim jig over it and a 5lb bass came up and smacked it! Fishing the delta can be tricky but you never know.
