How about when you're creeping a tiny popper or a worm across the top and all the sudden it's like someone pulled a drain plug out from under it! :dance::dance:

First Time at Delta Ponds

First Time at Delta Ponds

So I have been following the posts here for a while now, and decided to go out to The Delta Ponds for the very first time and see if i could land a nice bass. I don't have a boat our anything so I am limited to bank fishing. I headed in around 11 and caught a 17 inch 4.5lb bass (C&R), on a plastic worm in the lily pads. A pretty hefty weight for its length. I am sure the heat helped me out a bit on this one. I Appreciate all of the tips and advice on the forum, It really really helped! If anyone ever sees a 22 yr old Mexican kid wearing a black UO hat at the ponds be sure to say HEY! HAHA... this is definitely one of my new favorite places to fish.

the draught has ended

FINALLY I got my first bass out of the ponds then lost him but I catch and release anyway. not a bad sized fish prolly bout a 1+#. Its weird once you try something and it works its really hard to switch up your style, Ive been doing a lot of that and went back to what I used to use in the snake river and 10 minutes later BAM...FISH ON!!!:shock:

I'll have to show you my secret pond. Last year we carried the little aluminum boat I had and got 9 all together. Only 3 were under 3lbs. It will have to be on a saturday or a sunday though.

Don't get caught again: Dude we need to take your boat back out to Ballengers and to 5th street when there is no wind.

Delta has always been a favorite for me . Ive learned its patterns and have put in the time and yet still look at spots Ive yet to touch there . it is a large ecosystem when you add up all the ponds. Id say 75% is truly fishable by boat only which I think allows this place to be a great fishery year after year. Oh and its just gotta be reeeeel close to topwater city time there . trust me youll know when cause Ill be postin the pics like crazy . 20 fish days are a comin friend my favorite fishin of the year!

Hi Finneus Polebender,

How long have you fished the Delta ponds? How many ponds are there? I always look forward to your pics, can't wait to see some more. I only have a float tube right now but hopefully this summer I'll be able to get a pontoon, lots more fishing opportunities:dance:
