Safety for me is to keep an ear and an eye out for boats.
Summer months are bad for the idiot wake/skiers.
They seem to think racing towards you at high speeds to cut in front of you to try in spray water is cool. NOT!
Facing the boat and waving a large rod with a big bait hanging some times detour them from being stupid.

Good and bad thing to remember while fishing the delta is every thing looks real fishy.
Meaning: like there is so much stuff that looks real good to fish. Honestly everything!
Wood, tullies, hyacinth, hydrilla, rip rap, sunken cars, you name it :) its here.

My advice of fishing the tides
High tide fish up close
Low tide fish outer edge
Tides can work with you or against you.
If planed right you can ride a tide one way then ride the tide back.
Some days on the delta the wind and tides can be a real pain in returning back to your vehicle. x(

Flip and pitch to every pocket and structure. Jigs, senkos, delta money reaps.
Fish top water all year long. Buzz baits, Bobby frogs, zerra spooks, minus 1, trixy shads,
Rip, crank, spinner baits, swimbaits.
Today fishing the delta I’m on a drop shot binge.
I love about the delta is that you never know what you might catch.

You’ll have a blast.

Don't feed the sealions :P
