Wade-
The spot I am taliking about is not in the delta it is a irrigation cannal. It may not sound like the best spot but it has plenty to offer! I have had several bass 15+ follow lures right up to the bank, not sure why the wont hit? In the summer it seems like everytime you hook a good fish 4-5 follow him up trying to get the bait out of the hooked ones mouth, anyone have this happen often? I have cught a 8+ there and 5's I have only been fishing it for a few months, I have seen some monsters there! Hopfully I can get a good one in the spring! It doesnt look like a good spot so no one fishes it mabey thats why it is so good? Where do you live maby you wanna try this spot sometime (I am in Sac)

Thanks for the tips I am going to get out there saturday night so I will give the mission fish a try, I only have one it is an 8". Another thing I am thinking of doing is on my handpoured swimbaits which are rigged w/ the line going through and a treble on the botton is cutting the bottom hook on the treble and using a double hook, you think that will work? I need to get a 10+ havent landed one in a while and I would also like to beat my PB 14.2, so I am gonna throw these big baits around awhile and see if I cant get one.

Thanks, Taylor

PS here is a pic of a pumkinseed that ate my 2oz spinnerbait at the spot (only pic I have that kinda shows the enviornment)
