90 Boats compete in the BBT Trail 2013 opener for the Wine/Delta region at Lake Berryessa

Fished the BBT Trail 2013 opener for the Wine/Delta region on 3-23-13. The event was at Lake Berryessa and drew a great turn out with 90 boats showing up to compete. The morning started off very cold but warmed up by days end. My partner and I decided to stay South all day after catching a 4.19 lb spot and a 5.68 lb large mouth in practice. We caught fish from our first cast through out the day up to about 10 minutes before weigh in time. We found success with jigs, drop shot, dart heads and senkos in depths from 5 to 35 ft of water on points and coves using green, brown or shad color plastics. We ended the day with our best 5 fish going 14.81 pounds which turned out getting us 21st place for our efforts and just shy of getting a check.

The lake is heating up and big fish should start showing more and more... get out, catch some fish and have some fun. Good Luck!
