    I've fished the delta since a buddy introduced it in the early '70s and I almost always learn a little something from your videos. At my age now, I'm too sensitive to the cold to be out there in the winter, so you're keeping me sane until February,, Thank You!

    Love those little "Scupper Plug Bass" you caught on the jerk bait, Greg. You, and everybody else, KNOW to Re-Tie their baits after they get a "Good'un" on their line, especially after fishing around structures! (I DO include myself, as I've lost some BIG Bass by being Lazy!). Lol
    Loved the video, and thanks again for showing us what You Use on the Delta. Springtime is only a couple months from now, but its always fun to "Practice" in the Winter.

    That hurts when you lose a nice fish! Thanks for letting us hang out with you!! Baby bass can be aggravating, but at least you caught fish!

    Great intro, went out to the river Sunday and nothing to be found; no crayfish, no turtles, no baitfish. Some other angler said he saw 1 small baby BG and that was it! It's like all those rotting leaves sucked up the oxygen and they all took off to deeper waters.

    In NC we fish strippers in the dead of winter on a tidal river, fire tiger crank bait is a main lure and caught bass as bycatch to the striper target quite a bit. Ya now it’s a bass and not a striper as they’re so cold and no fight in em! Cheers man

    Greg, with the Golden Mussel being an issue I'd strongly recommend getting 1 boat ready for lakes and another ready only for the delta. Might be a good idea to make a trip and have the lake boat inspected and tagged now so you can use it in 30 days. Who knows what is going to come of it, but always good to prepare

    Thank you Greg there is nothing better than starting my day than watching your catching bass in the colder fall time! A couple those large bass you lost at the dock always hits deep in our soul, but we know it goes with fishing. You got back up and kept fishing and that’s what builds our character and makes us a better angler! The lake looked beautiful with the rising sun and it was a great day bass fishing and sharing it with us! Tight lines take care and God bless!

    Currently 34 degrees here in Boise, Idaho. Night time temperatures are anywhere between 22 degrees to 30 degrees. I haven’t caught a bass in months. Good thing there’s great trout fishing in my backyard on the Boise River. But I still miss that thump from a bass.
    Side note are you sponsored by Berkley? I notice that most the baits you throw are Berkley baits.

    When those huge bass came off, I sprinkled the F bombs with the typical, "Hai yas!" that Chinese moms are famous for LOL
    Maybe it was the Crescent Rolls instead of Taquitos 😊 (As my youngest son says about leftovers, I'm in a food coma.) Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving. 🦃
    That's the truth about the Delta - it's feast or famine 🙄 Very 😎 that you eventually found the quality while getting out of the wind 👍

    I guess i'm lucky, my local river actually fishes better in the winter...I think it may have to do with reduced pressure...It's a small river in a city with a decent population...Last winter I was breaking up the thin ice on the top and catching bass in between ice sheets with a top water walking bait! I have actually had some of my best fishing days in the middle of winter...

    BESIDES LOVE MEN NEED FISHING !!
    Besides love men need fishing
    And for both, most are wishing
    Catching trophies chosen best
    To be envied by the rest.
    Fishing is a game of sport
    Loved by all, both tall and short.
    We must fool the fish’s eye
    If we plan to stir and fry.
    Some use boats while others wade
    As they fish the sun or shade.
    Ice-cold drinks help pass the day
    While life’s troubles fade away.
    Most men feel they've everything
    With their rod, hook, cork and string.
    Be it river, pond or lake
    We all pray our line won't break.

    Delta is definitely slowing down, but I was out yesterday (Sunday) and got a 7.6 lb striper on a 6" cull shad. That was a fun bite, biggest fish I've ever caught. The link in your bio isn't working for your jig. What brand are you using?

    You think you broke 10 lb for the top five fish you landed, excluding the two big fish you lost? That invasive red Swamp Crawfish isn't great for the ecosystem of the Delta but it sure has been good for fishermen... Thanks for yet another skillfully edited mini documentary. It's really time consuming to edit something so well that the narrative seems effortless.

    cant avoid the delta now ebmud shutting lakes down seems california is hell bent on shutting down hunting and fishing
    i bet the delta will be next not just for boaters either those muscles can live 30 days out of water what about your gear
    their still allowing bank fishing that doesn't make sense at all.that muscle was discovered at russo`s oct.11 how long has it been there its in all bodies of water by now why panic and shut everything down right before xmas baitshops sporting goods stores etc etc will lose business in an already failing economy. im ashamed of california
