Cam,

Thanks for the tip. Which 1- were you referring to? the 1/4, 3/8 or 5/8 lures? I was able to find the 1/4 in those colors, but not the 3/8 or 5/8.

On a side note, a similar approach was taken at GB's last delta tournament out of Lundborg hitting the bass alleys (as we referred to them) behind the boat docks pitching a senko. The guy who took first had a limit by 8:00am and culled a couple of fish throughout the day.

Looking at my tackle box I noticed that I really don't have any crankbaits that cover the 0'-3' range which is why I loose some Lucky Craft LV-500's in the weeds during low tide. My 2 goto colors for the delta are similar colors you referred to in your post. I think I'm going to pickup some Lucky Craft Pointer 78 and Pointer 100 in my delta colors as they are 1'-4' baits and might work well with the high tide over the weed beds.

The tides (listed below) for this weekend should actually give me plenty of time to crank and frog for fish in the morning with a lot of fast moving water. I have a feeling that those bass alleys are going to be pretty productive as they offer a relief area from the current from the bass and hold lots of bait fish. I'll give the 1- a try and let you know how it went.

Thanks again, Cam and Welcome to the board!
