46842, Disco Bay Turkey Shoot
Posted by dbalaba, Tue Dec-09-14 02:22 PM
Sup Tubers! Las time I heard we have a permit to fish Disco Bay this month. If this sounds interesting please respond. The water temps are still in the mid 50s so the big delta largies should be feeding up for the winter. I was thinking a $20 buyin with $5 big fish would be fun but we could vote on that, payout top 3. Who's in? I'll give a call to the marina once we agree on the date to let them know we're coming first light.

I can make it 13th 20th 27th 28th

Count me in. How about Christmas Day? The 13th is a good weather day.

Dang I forgot about this!
It will have to be the 13th since That is the date on the permit.
I believe I can make it on the 13th too :+

The weather looks nice enough on Saturday, post frontal though. I wonder how muddy Disco will be after the big rain coming tomorrow?
Don't actually care I'll be fishing anyway!

Looking at the weather tells me someone needs to go toss a Slammer at Coyote this afternoon. It's big fish weather today!

Still waiting on a response if we will be able to get in earlier. Another option is launching by harbor dr. And parking on the street.I'll post as soon as I hear something. I'll be out there regardless.

The Marina will have someone let us in tomorrow morning at 600. Launch is going to be $5.00. We need to stay to one side of the ramp. See you guys in the morning.

Any questions call me.

It was the greatest 1 man tournament of all time. I had arouND an 8lb limit. Caught about 10 on a rip bait in 5 ft on the openings to the bays. Water was 4ft viability and the temp was 57, overcast all day. Bays were dead for me nothing over 2.5lbs.

Glad you were able to take yet another win! I wish I could have made it, I was sick most of last week.

I am going to fish some between Xmas and new year though, since I have the whole week off. Probably gonna hit Berryessa the day after Xmas. Might have to chase some stripers around the delta one day. Maybe make a trip to Melones. I know I don't want to sit and watch the kids play Xbox all week.

Anyone have a Mountain bike and want to get muddy?
