28295, Fish Delta this Weekend
Posted by woodsac, Tue May-24-05 01:36 PM
I know our next event is in 2 weeks, but I was thinking about driving up and fishing the Delta this weekend.

Coming up the 5, what's the closest place I could launch? I wanna fish Saturday and crash in my truck and fish again Sunday? I know we talked about it earlier, but I think River's End is pretty close? But I know about launching and sleeping.

You know you're addicted when a 5 1/2 hour drive is "close" :+

Jake,I would go to middle river.The barrier is up and the fishing is great! :) You would have to launch down river from the barrier(where the 3 rivers meet at that bend in the road)It's just a short row and then you're up and over the damn.:7 I would'nt want to be anywhere else on the delta this weekend with all the yahoos that are going to be out there!
Buzzyfish and myself will be there on saturday:+
p.s. anyplace with a ramp is going to be a zoo this weekend:o
Maybe we'll see ya out there,Swampy
pps there is a motel 6 in tracy blvd or you can sleep on the levy at the launch site.

Right on Dave, thanks :7

I can't guarantee that I'll make it, but if I do, it would be around 8 or 9 in the morning? Unless....I left Friday night }(

So even though the barrier is up, can boats still come in from the other direction? Or do we pretty much have it all to ourselves }( Won't you guys be in your boat Dave?

What's Lost Island Joe?

Jake - I see that you are hooked on the Delta. The river will do that to you no matter how far you have to travel.I'm thinking on fishing M.R. on Saturday so maybe I'll see you on the water.}(

Boats can still get up there but they would have to come in from the other side(not many folks do,very shallow and dangerous).I will be in the kickboat.and fishing above the barrier.Looks like there will be a few of us up there:7
Hope to see ya there,Swampy

Unless something disasterous happens between now and Saturday, I'll be there :7

Hey Chris, is the spot that Dave is talking about launching at...is that the same spot that I launched when you and Rich were there for the team event?
