How about when you're creeping a tiny popper or a worm across the top and all the sudden it's like someone pulled a drain plug out from under it! :dance::dance:

First Time at Delta Ponds
First Time at Delta Ponds
So I have been following the posts here for a while now, and decided to go out to The Delta Ponds for the very first time and see if i could land a nice bass. I don't have a boat our anything so I am limited to bank fishing. I headed in around 11 and caught a 17 inch 4.5lb bass (C&R), on a plastic worm in the lily pads. A pretty hefty weight for its length. I am sure the heat helped me out a bit on this one. I Appreciate all of the tips and advice on the forum, It really really helped! If anyone ever sees a 22 yr old Mexican kid wearing a black UO hat at the ponds be sure to say HEY! HAHA... this is definitely one of my new favorite places to fish.

the draught has ended
the draught has ended
FINALLY I got my first bass out of the ponds then lost him but I catch and release anyway. not a bad sized fish prolly bout a 1+#. Its weird once you try something and it works its really hard to switch up your style, Ive been doing a lot of that and went back to what I used to use in the snake river and 10 minutes later BAM...FISH ON!!!:shock:

I'll have to show you my secret pond. Last year we carried the little aluminum boat I had and got 9 all together. Only 3 were under 3lbs. It will have to be on a saturday or a sunday though.

Delta has always been a favorite for me . Ive learned its patterns and have put in the time and yet still look at spots Ive yet to touch there . it is a large ecosystem when you add up all the ponds. Id say 75% is truly fishable by boat only which I think allows this place to be a great fishery year after year. Oh and its just gotta be reeeeel close to topwater city time there . trust me youll know when cause Ill be postin the pics like crazy . 20 fish days are a comin friend my favorite fishin of the year!

Hi Finneus Polebender,
How long have you fished the Delta ponds? How many ponds are there? I always look forward to your pics, can't wait to see some more. I only have a float tube right now but hopefully this summer I'll be able to get a pontoon, lots more fishing opportunities:dance:
