Need Help On Catching Big California Delta Bass

Featured Replies

Okay, so here's my situation, I was at the delta today fishing Mildred island and I had seen a good 20+ bass over 5lbs and 3 over 10 lbs cruising the shoreline. There were males on nests as well but these were the large females cruising around that we're uncatchable, the water was clear with a heavily weeded bottom along with tules on the shore, how would I catch these large bass, I threw a spinnerbait,jigs,reapers,chatter baits, etc. with out any bites, I had no problem catching males schooling around and a 6lb male on a bed but no females. Also there was a full moon if that had anything to do with it. I'm going to be going back tomorrow and it would be very helpful if I could receive a few answers tonight, thanks.

7" Senkos and jigs with blue trailers are always good on the delta during pre spawn and sawn.

Also a roboworm on a drop shot rig will probably be able to get the fish on the beds. For the larger females you gotta go offshore on the points and rocky ledges. Try throwing a creature on a Carolina rig off a point. Should do the trick

I figured it out the next day how to catch some big ones
