Yesterday was a super windy day to go fishing. The water was very brownish due to the recent rain. We went to the usual Liberty Island to troll for striped bass. Immediately, on the first pass, JU landed a 21-incher with his new setup: a Bomber 16A with a 7-inch pearl trailing tail. The waves were very rough at the trolling location. The wind was around 13 mph. We survived a total of 2 loops of trolling without any other hits, but more importantly without getting motion sickness.

We then went to our favorite sturgeon fishing hole at (according to California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife) location code 03: Sacramento River. Knights Landing to Rio Vista. The waves were calm, but the depth was 50 feet. We had a hard time setting anchor with a 100-foot rope. Any of you expert fishermen know why? Eventually, we did manage to anchor up. We were using ghost shrimp and salmon eggs. We got around a dozen hits within a couple of hours!!! JU missed all three hits?!? The sturgeon hits were very light like a crab gnawing at your bait. The team did manage to land two that were released.
