Summertime Catchin’ on the Dirty D

Jul 1, 2025 Bethel Island

13 Days of straight guiding on the California Delta with my clients catchin’fish & making memories that will last a lifetime!

Its the Chatter that Matters!!

May 21, 2025 Bethel Island

Yesterday on May 19, had the pleasure of having John aboard my boat to go catch some heatly sized largemouth bass on the dirty Delta for five hour trip. Needless to say it was all about the chatter bait yesterday! John wanted to focus on the retrieval of fishing a chatter bait correctly and he was definitely rewarded when he finally got it down! Especially when the fish bit and struck his chatter bait lure in maintaining the load in his rod and winding the handle on his real properly and performing a reel hook set. He did not miss one by doing this technique! Awesome job John ! Hope to see you again! Tight lines !

Thank you Stephen! Enjoyed fishing with you as well. Next time, we will go to a much calmer body of water with less recreational boaters! Tight lines!

Thanks Jason for the awesome review! We fished our hearts out in trying to catch the behemoth sized bass the California Delta is known for. They definitely managed in eluding us yesterday!
