Get your swimbait rod and a big ass treble hook. Then some 65 pound braid with a steel leader and a long ass gaff. End it off with a pack of Oscar Myer wieners and hook those babies up. You’re now ready for Dog Fishing! Check this 45 pounder we just landed. Thing was frisky and real smart. He would try to bite the line off but he wasn’t getting through the steel leader. Caught & Kept as a pet
Yep, the delta was packed this weekend. Live bait fisherman, pluggers, trollers…but the fish are here. Scattered, but here. I spoke to a few people and there was some talk of some big 10 plus fish being caught on live blue gill and assorted dead bait. My dad talked to these guys that caught a 16 and and 18 on “live bait”…holy shit that would be fun.
Pops and I decided to fish two days this weekend. Did it all except for trolling. One thing I learned is that I do not know shit about fishing for stripers. Although, I am determined to learn. We did get a chance to try some live blue gill with no takers. Fishing with blue gill is like fishing with swim baits, you know when you get bit that it’ll be a good one, and this year will be the year I get one on a blue gill. Also, this will be the year I break the 10 pound mark on a topwater plug. (I hope)
Too make a long stroy short, caught a shit load of shakers on spoons the first day which was really fun, caught a shit load of shakers on the next day with anchovies (Pops loves bait fishing so this weekend was for him..), then finally caught a 7.2 pounder on a River 2 Sea bottom walker. Jesus christ did I need that. Hearing all these people talk about big fish can get a little discouraging when you are catching dinks all day. It was good to be with Pops though. The dude is fucking funny. Casting out a carolina rigged Fish Trap with an anchovie head used in place of the lead head!! He did catch one though which shut me up. Then I look over and he is using what he called a “schmorgeschborg”, a huge pile of sardines and shad all clumped up on a hook.
Till next weekend…
So yeah, long time no post. What evs. I’ve been busy. Actually not too busy, just not fishing. Here’s breakdown of the summer:
That’s pretty much it. Stay tuned because you’ll be seeing some new shit on here more often.
Oh, there is also a Video section on the left now. Hopefully we can continue to add to it. Here is something I filmed when I caught that fish on El Salto.
Just thought i’d say whats up. I visit your guys’ webcite every once in a while and its great! You guys seem like a bunch of fun guys who love to fish and have a good time. Hope you dont mind me intruding. When i see your trips it motivates me to get out there…….Good luck!
marone is updating his other site and needs to update this one. send him an email to tell him to update it.
Here’s a few fish straps and I caught out on the delta tryin to get some love before the FPT tourny.
Hopefully we’ll do good this saturday.
straps faced me with his first buzzbait fish ever. around 6.
Here’s my first fish of the day. around 7. Don’t mind the hot bod…
Sorry about the crappy cell phone photos. i lost my camera.
Till next time….
Well kinda, He go this 60lb ling cod in AK went he came there with me two summers ago. He’s been bugging me to post it. Here it is fucker, in all it’s glory.
Yeah Joser! Congrats on getting the cover of SKATEBOARDER magazine. Steady rippin and lippin!
What an amazing time. The bite was definitely not like what we have experienced in the past. This fluctuation of cold and warm weather definitely made the bite tough. I was hoping for warm sunny weather. Bikinis and large green bass.
When we arrived, it was defintely not what I expected. Driving through 20, we ran into rain! Our first night camping, it was 34 degrees outside and MAS didn’t bring a sleeping bag!!? Getting back out on that night bite was bad-ass though, even though I didn’t catch one our first night. But I sure caught a buzz. Icy cold buds on the lake at 1:00am can’t be beat(unless it is Coors Light).
We started a new tradition this year. A night tourney with a 3 fish limit. Our boat blew it, we only caught one. But it was a close match,
The rat had a 8 lb 9 oz bag for two fish while Delta Matt and Josh came in with three fish weighing 8 lbs 11 oz. They are lucky I didn’t get to the rock wall first!
So here is the report I left on WesternBass.com(which was erased becasue I said go check it out on the bassturdz site!):
Date: 2008-04-26
Location: San Jose
E-Mail: suckit@bassturdz.com
Water Temp: 56-62
Water Clarity: Clear (4-6 feet visibility)
Report: We were there from 4/23-4/27. Tough bite, not too good but the night bite was the most fun. We were most successful on 1/2 oz Jigs, shakey head rigs, and senkos when the wind picked up in the day. Rock piles near spawning areas. No swimbait fish for us this trip, a few bites, but nothing big. Our bag on the boat Max, Friday night, went 8.3, 6.2, a few 4′s and a dink. Another boat we were with that night killed it, over 20 fish (YEAH
MATT!). Other nights, dinks and a few 3′s maybe. Go to the keys at night. You’ll catch some. Clear lake is the sh*t, regardless whether the fishing is bad, great to get out there and fish, drink, drive in the dark, throw jigs in the rocks, wait until 1:00 am fro the moon to rise (bite turned on then), then sleep all day. As compared to other lakes around us, along with the crappy weather, the fishing was great. This dude is trippen(refferring to some guy complaining about tournament fishing affecting the bite). GO to the bassturdz website to see the detials, Be sure to grow a moustache, you’ll catch more fish! Oh, and get a cube of Coors light too, budweiser sucks.
Tips: Jig color does not matter at night. Just as long as it’s big and bulky. Move the jigs quick over the rocks. Shakey head when you’re bored and senkos with needle weights wacky rigged. It’s cold again so I would hit the lake when no one is out, AT NIGHT!!
Yes. It is here. It has been here. Fishing, Fishing, Fishing! Man this shit is the most expensive it has ever been. $4.00 a gallon for gas! Holy shit. Well hopefully, the new BassTurdz signature shoe will help us pay for that shit. Yeah, our own shoe. Sweet.
Green and black, just like the sweet ass lunker large mouth bass. We love em so much. Sigh….
News areound the Turd quarters.
New Little dreamer on the Roster. Skeeter, the Rat’s new little homey. An awesomne male Black lab! Welcome to the team little dreamer. May you enjoy all the days on the water. (When your papa fixes his boat)
The Delta has been taking up a lot of my fishing time. I fucking love that place. The first few times we went out. things were a little grim. Although they picked up. I went 
out with Jerbs and my Dad a few weeks ago. It was one of the windiest days I have ever experienced on the Delta. Of course, you can always find a place out of the wind in the Delta.
We fished some abandoned boats and Jerbs hooks an 8 on a Jig. I forgot how green these fish are. Fighters man. It was good to see the little fucker hook into a nice Delta toad. Pops hasn’t seen a fish that big in a 
while to. I think it contributed to him picking up the stick again.
All in all, our top 5 fish went somewhere from 23-24 pounds. All on jigs. I popped a 5.25 pounder on the new Gloomis Bronzeback Carolina Riggin’ rod. So sweet with the 1/2 oz jigs. An
oh man, was I hungover. I constantly forget how shitty it is to to fish hungover.
Well, I had to head out to the delta again. This time, after a three day binger. Again, fished hungover. I stuck with beer the night before though so the hungover wasn’t that bad.
It had to be 90 degrees. The delta was steaming and there was hardly any wind. It was a wonderful reminder of how awesome this summer is going to be.
It was only me and pops on the Crestliner (trout troller to Jerbs, kook!!). Pops hasn’t got a good fish in a while(anything over a pound)..Like over a year. He was 
saying, I need a good fish. I knewhe was boundfor something over a pound this trip. Sure enough, lands a 4.5 pounger on a jig using his 40 year old spinning rod. NICE DAD! He’s hooked again. We had told Jerbs earlier (he came out with Straps) that we should have a big fish tourney. They were down so we were looking good so far.
Then, I hooked a 5.4 off a tullie point using a senko. It’s so bad ass hooking a largemouth in the tullies using braid on a flipping stick. I fucking love the delta.
Well Jerbs & Straps, thanks for the 10 bucks.
8 days and counting until clear lake. The mustache is on it’s 15th day. Looking scummier than ever.
