The color red is coming! Spawning is approaching. The thump thump of the big blade helps attract the bass in the semi dirty water but this guy was hungry.

Power pro was yellow color, outgoing tide and fish are slowly getting active. It was mushy bite where the vibration slowly stopped not a big thud.

The big blade Zman has a much different vibration but the vibration attracted this 3lbs large mouth bass. I need to restock some more!

Cold/warm day after lots of rain in the delta, drop shop helped mid day after the water warmed up. Water was murky but getting close to clearing up. 852 did a wonderful job keeping the fish out of the lay downs and Vanford had enough torque to pull out the fish from the debris. Mastiff fluoro held up with no nicks after fighting this fish.

Spring time water is warming up and they are chomping on the chatterbait. The medium heavy glass rod has great action when reeling the bait in. Pre-spawn let it begin!

Fishing before the cold front hits California. Chatterbait bite is on! Mastiff fluorocarbon held up well.

Delta is finally warming up! The underspin chartreuse was the bait of choice. Water clarity is about 12”. The new mastiff fluorocarbon worked beautifully.
