I'm launching out of Holland on Sat with Chad from Fisherman's Warehouse in San Jose. I had 2 back to back T's on the Delta last weekend and spent most of my time in the West Delta catching dinks. From what I've heard the East Delta bite has been really good and I'm going to head out towards Whites, Disappointment, Herman and Helens and the Stockton deep water canal. I'm a little disappointed that the jig bite has been off, but the flip side is that good numbers of fish are being caught on reaction baits all day along with soft plastics texas rigged. I just need to keep reminding myself to downsize when the bite gets tough.

I might also be on the water Sunday as my dad wants to go for some Salmon on the river. If that's the case then I'll launch our of Big Break on Sunday and spend a lot of time in the North delta (Montezuma, Rio Vista, etc) trowing cranks for Salmon and stripers. Hopefully I can go for the trifecta on the river catching a stiper, salmon and largemouth in the same day.

I'll probably run into you out there as we'll be on the water at first light. I'll keep an eye out for you and I'll be in the 18' red ranger w/ Mercury outboard. Good luck and tight lines!
