Dear Jerry,
I wanted to openly express my gratitude for the greatest day of bass fishing that I have ever experienced. You enabled me to catch over 27 pounds for 5 quality fish. It has been a pleasure meeting you and fishing with someone with such high integrity and an extensive knowledge of the Delta. I recommend a day on the water bassin' with Jerry for the fishermen just looking to have a good time or the tournament anglers looking to improve their game!
Thanks again,
Joshua Kaneko

How many times have you gone to Lake Don Pedro, New Malones, Lake Comanche, New Hogan, McClure, even Lake Amador and caught good ones one week and couldn’t buy a fish the next. This is especially true in the spring when you have so many changing conditions....

I am often asked what kind of water I look for when I am fishing the Delta and why? The first thing that comes to mind when this question comes up is how many different answers I could give. What time of year would probably be the first thing that enters my mind? Many would think I would respond to the same question you hear over and over again and that is “do I like to fish low tide or high tide. I think learning about water movement is more important to understand and will help you find fish quicker all year round.

Come out and Support your Troops

Toys for the Troops Kids Bass Team Tournament.

On the Delta this year at Russo’s Marine November 10th


CBAF encourages you to come out and show your support for the families who have lost a family member in the recent wars. This team event will require more than just an entry fee. It will require both partners bringing a new toy in a box unwrapped for these families. It is a donation from each of you to show your support for a fallen soldier’s family.


Last year we had a great turn out collecting 250 toys at Lake Shasta for the Troop’s kids and we were proud of this accomplishment. Our Goal this year is to generate 500 toys.


I have to say this is one of the most rewarding events you could ever participate in. The Christian Bass Anglers Fellowship is working together with other organizations to gather and ship these toys to military families all over California, Nevada, and Hawaii. Last year this group together generated 25,000 toys. The goal this year is 50,000 toys for these families. We can’t do this unless everyone helps.


So many people and organizations coming together to show their support for what has to be the most rewarding cause you could ever get involved with.


We can only do this with the help of our bass fishing friends and families. This special event will take place at the Delta this year. Our host Russo’s Marine November 10th. Please put this event on your calendar now.


Bring a Toy unwrapped for ages 1 through 18 for boys or girls, pay your entry, fish a tournament, eat a good meal, visit with your friends, all to support those men and women who are fighting for our freedom. Please see www.toysforthetroopskids.org for the whole story or check with www.thecbaf.com for more information or myself at www.jerryfournier.com.


Help support your troops and help take care of the kids.

The Sacramento Delta is one of my favorite places. The Delta offers a unique network of waterways with many places for fish to hide.

Clear Lake, known as the bass capital of the west, is another favorite of mine. Clear Lake is the largest lake in California with a total shoreline of 100 miles.

Lake Oroville is another great lake to fish in. Large Mouth and Spotted bass make up the population, with the Spotted bass being the abundant species.

Shasta is a lake that you can easily get lost on. With 29,500 acres of surface area and 370 miles of shoreline, they have had to put up signs to help boaters figure out where they are.
