Fresh Bethel Island Fishing Reports

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 !

On Friday, May 15, I had the pleasure of having Con & Anna anoard my boat and what an epic fishing day it was. The striped bass and largemouth bass were biting fast and furious with chatter baits and crank baits . They had a phenomenal time and they will definitely be back be back again, to include spreading the word about Delta BASSN’ Guide Service. Between all three of us, we caught a total of 21 lbs. 8 oz. of striped bass and including seven largemouth bass which were not weighed.. tight lines !

Delta BASSN’ Guide Service with Juan Jimenez catching & waking up the bass on a cold, windy day on the Dirty Delta. Caught thrm on Neko Rigs, Chatterbaits, & square billed crankbaits. Conditions: Water clarity stained. Visibility 2-3 feet. Weather: Wind 15-20 mph. Bright Sunny Skies. Season: Springtime Spawn

The Bite is ON. Do not miss going out on the Delta during the next two months. Fished a tournament this week and had 3 fish over 5 pounds. The fish are shallow and still have not spawned. Water temps are improving and the fishing is great.

A big cold front came through and really cooled the water temps down which really had the fish confused since it was the first big full moon in March which is usually one of the biggest spawning pushes of the year on the Delta. The trip was successful for quality. We managed to catch a 5.5, 4.7, 3.2 and several 2.5's. The bite was slow on the high tide and picked up on the low tide. All fish this trip were caught pitching Senkos.
