Gobbler thanks for that. Ill try them. I can't imagine slogging through the delta.
Where exactly are you fishing? If your around the bridge I'd just use some shrimp, it'll keep the yungins occupied. I was fishing a spot we use to call devil's hole (little beach area north of rabbit creek) and i hung about an 8ib Largemouth, man she was fine! She spit the hook out about 10 yards from the boat ☹
I'm fishing from between the Navco boat launch all the way down to the bridge. Trying those little creekways where the water is calmer.
I'm going to look for the devils hole.
