MR. Sunshine where did you go?
MR. Sunshine where did you go?
So the cold weather all but killed the fishing. They were still biting but very light, missed a few bites. My fishin buddy got a nice 3#er set it free to warm up and bite another day when the sun comes out.

That would be cool,Lets get a couple things out there though. I am a friend to this world and I care very much about our local fisheries. I would like to see my grandkids be able to teach thier kids to fish at delta. I am kinda a harda** when it comes to a few things I wont fish with anyone who keeps fish I am a devout C & R guy ,I follow the rules and regs and i wont trespasss. so when i am not quick to divulge much hope you will understand that i will take the time to make sure a person shares /practices my beliefs before we talk shop. otherthan that lets go fishin boys

Yeah I noticed that I spooked a few fish that were hanging out just a little deeper off the bank they were still pretty shallow but they were definitely deeper than usual my guess is the cooler weather but Im no expert.

I believe in C&R but growing up in florida I happen to really enjoy how bass taste. I believe that in the small fisheries like delta catch and release is important to maintain it for the future but in some place like fern ridge keeping One or Two never more than you need for the table is not so detrimental to the overall population.

I agree i C&R bass but after spawning season i might keep a few a year to throw on the barbie.

Good point! I dont keep em during the spawn at all.

Exactly. Wait till they reproduce then take one or two later after they get there bodies back in shape but never the hogs. Mostly C&R rarely try to eat one. they don't taste good once the water is on the hot side as with most fish.
