I Was Struggling… Then I Tried THIS BAIT! | California Delta Bass Fishing

New August 8, 2026

Some days the delta makes your work for it and other days its completely lights out. This episode gets started a little slow then picks up speed with some pretty fun fish catches. I employ a new technique called HD dragging, well, maybe not new, but new to me. Enjoy this one and as always don’t forget to subscribe, like and comment.
