Black bass fishing in the East Delta is productive, provided that
you adjust your approach to match the temperament of the bass. It’s
been hot and we’ve had very little wind. This hot weather comes on
the heels of the cool weather we had a week ago. The result is
fluctuating water temperatures and whenever that happens the black
bass fishing gets tougher.
You can still catch plenty of fish but to get them you have to
slow down. The fish are lethargic and there hasn’t been much of a
reaction bite. |
