David and I headed to the Delta again this weekend and we let the kids do all the fishing for us. They brought in every fish caught and did an outstanding job. Eli is only 2 (will be 3 next month) but he was terrific with those long rods! The bite was terrible and we were running 14 rods.....6 crankbaits straight-lined off the back - 2 planer boards with cranks/RR's on the side - 6 jigs/RR's double rigged up front with heavy weights. Fish were caught on all of those and nothing in particular seemed to work best. We missed a number of fish and got several close to the boat before getting loose and only wound up with 9 crappie in the boat by 2:00. Had a couple of buddies on the lake in different boats using Minner Critters and the bite seemed to be slightly better with the minners but still not good. The kids had a blast and so did we in spite of the poor bite!
