Fishing Report

My first impression of the Delta was that as long as I stayed within sight of where I launched my boat, that I would be able to find my way back. I was also frustrated with all the vegetation making it nearly impossible to fish my favorite baits. My navigation problem was solved with experience and the help of a GPS and after a while I learned to read the ... » Read More

Last week I was able to get out for a few days of fishing on the Delta. The bite wasn’t the best but we did manage to catch our limits. As far as the weather, it was absolutely amazing. I was also able to fish Lake Pardee, we didn’t get a single bite but once again the weather was great. What I did find humbling about my trip to Pardee ... » Read More

Keeping it simple often is the key ingredient to an angler’s success out on the water.

I was looking through some of my tackle the other day and it was sad to see once popular baits that were no longer being used.

For a while there I was obsessed with having the latest and greatest until I fished with a guy called Bill. Bill was in his 60’s and I heard from ... » Read More

Fish attractants have been used in some form or another for many years. In the middle 1980s I can remember there being a big interest in fish attractants as several major tackle manufacturers added fish attractants to their product line. I can remember one specific brand that comes to mind “Bait mate,” it was in a liquid form with a consistency that was similar to vegetable oil. One quick spray of this supposedly would create ... » Read More
