TRAIL BLAZER

Sounds like an awesome trip. Pictures are great but the memories will last forever!

What a trip this was ! We caught fish non stop . Never found the big ones we went up for but not for lack of trying . We had an absolute blast . I would be up there every week if I could . This was one to file away and look back fondly on for the rest of my life . Cant wait for next time . Thanks son for draggin me along .

Hardcore. Truly Hardcore. Sorry I mist this one but you know I won't miss the next one.

the delta huh, hmm. might have to try it one day,
congrats gents, besides the ruined phone and camera that sounds like 2 awesome days fishing

Great story and adventure Scott. The Delta is a fisherman's wet dream with thousands of miles of shoreline, rivers, back channels and sloughs. Habitat of all types from docks, piers, tules, deep channels, pumps, rip wrap and more. There is a fish specie for everyone depending on the season Striper, Sturgeon, Salmon, Catfish, Large Mouth, Small Mouth, Steelhead and multiple species of Pan fish. Everyone that goes there comes back with memories of a lifetime.

Sounds like a baddass trip! Makes me wanna plan to get out there with my dad and Brother.

Too bad for us you lost that camera. I'm sure you have all the pics etched in your memory tho.

HardCore?
Maybe a bad choice of words. Lol
