I loved to fish the delta this time of year..shallow to quick drop offs work a jig, or back then I loved the tarantula with a willow spoon,let it drop an retrieve just enough to move the blade.before flipping rods were made we used stiff stripper rods and a hair raiser jig,20lb test.fished out of a 12 foot gregor then dad made the jump.Bought a monark mcfast boy we were crapping in tall cotton then
