Backwater Exploring On The South Delta! Tidal Fishery Tricks!
Come along as we explore the forgotten South Delta! Trailering overland with a stranger, navigating through hyacinth-choked canals, and catching fish is all part of a day deep in the extreme Southern reaches of the California Delta. There's a reason most anglers don't venture this far South, but today we're with Matt Leverich and he knows how to navigate the maze.
We ventured out on the water planning to "junk fish" our way through the South Delta. As the sun got overhead we found a strong frog bite but in true Delta fashion, it wouldn't last long. Soon the tide was out and the winds came in and we were forced to adapt. The day ended with one of the most incredible flurries of juvenile striper and largemouth I've ever seen on this fishery. We included a small fraction of the catches as dozens upon dozens of fish bit cast after cast for over an hour!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we used throughout the day. We've included our exact combos, bait sizes, colors, etc... to help you be more successful on your next trip. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.
