  • @WillSelbyKayakFishing
    @WillSelbyKayakFishing 11 месяцев назад +2

    Great video Greg always enjoyable watching your videos. I can't help but think those high gear ratio reels you're using are moving those baits way too fast in the Delta this time of year. 8:1.1 reels move them baits fast. None of us can know everything that's for sure but most people I see catching fish at the Delta this time of year and catching good size ones are fishing way slower than you are. A big sign of moving the bait too fast is catching Dinks only. That jerbait caused you to slow down which is why you caught better fish on it.

      just keep in mind imo i think a frog rod should be a bit shorter to work the bait and make better casts but you could still get away with using the 7'6''

      Orwood is way nicer, big break ramp is miserable honestly lol. I doubt he’s going to give spots out cus there would be no fish there the next day. If you’re looking for spots, just explore and cover a ton of water with a confidence bait. Wind last couple of days killed the water clarity but it looks like it’s better out south right now.

I dont wanna let it rest on the transducer or the rudder, but I just can't seem to get it in the bed without it resting on one.
