DELTA, San Joaquin side — Similar to the Sacramento side, red chatterbaits are the key with the bass feeding on crawdads in the shallows. Plastics will catch numbers, bu the larger fish are taken on either frogs or chatterbaits. The two big frog tournaments are coming with the Ultimate Frog Challenge on July 25/26 and the original frog tourney, the Snag Proof Open, on August 1 and 2. Both tournaments are held out of Big Break Marina. There are plenty of undersized striped bass in the San Joaquin system for anglers soaking anchovies or sardines, but the best opportunity for keepers is by drifting minnows or tossing paddletailed swimbaits. Tournament weights have risen to an average of around 15 pounds for mid-table teams.
