[Capt. Matt Caire]

Waking up yesterday morning to finally some calm winds, my buddy and I decided to take his son out to go chase some trout. Pulling into Delta Marina bright and early to a parking lot full of cars. ( by the way Delta now has live shrimp, croakers, and cockahoes). Decided to take a ride to the east side of the river. Upon arriving to Quarintine Bay we were met with a cloud of fog. We wanted to avoid the big crowd in the California Point area. The first stop was a dud, as pulling into the second stop it didint take long to find the fish, and they were eating good. We boated 34 trout and a aluminum hull with 4 guys in it decided to win the Cheevo award and troll up an anchor on top of us. As they were not catching any they proceeded to pull up their anchor and reposition on us again. Oh well that bite was over. So moved to the next spot where we lucked up and found some really nice trout. We boated another 26 or so as little man was putting a hurting on them. Nothing better than watch a 6 year old make his own cast and catch his own 3 pound trout. We shut it down at 60 between us three and moved out of the way to let some others come in on the action. There is a lot of off colored water down here if you are looking to make your own trip. But the fish are there. The birds are starting to dive, although there are a ton of undersize fish under them. The Delta Marina is in full service with ice, bait, tackle, lodging, and fish cleaning stations w/ elect. and water. All fish were caught on Deadley Dudley Salt n Pepper and Blue Moon Bay Chovies. Good luck to all this summer. Capt Matt Caire 504 382 2370
