First trip to the Delta this fall

The boys have been waiting a long time for the striper season on the delta. I have been checking the weather reports for the delta for a few weeks now and it has been windy just about every time we are available to go.  This past Sat. the weather forecast was favorable at 3-8 MPH breeze…..so off we went.

Uncle Wesley met us there and we were launched by 6:40am. We looked for birds working and tried topwater patterns to no avail. We switched to sub surface lies and hooked a few here and there. At one point in the morning it was blowing pretty hard so we had to find cover in a protected area. THAT WAS NOT FORECAST.

We ended the day with 14 landed and lost a handful near the boat. Not too bad but definitely not what it should have been.

Matthew landed the 3 biggest fish, one on a RattleTrap and the other 2 on small Clouser Minnows.

We’ll keep looking for another opportunity to head back to the delta.
