First time ever getting a limit within 15 minutes. Done it before with bait over the course of a few hours, but never like this. Used 5inch Daiwa sp minnow in purple, right before sunrise near the boat entrance. First time seeing the boils in the water, went chasing them, got the first one on the third cast, 22 inches, dispatched him then saw more boils. Got my second one, 21 inches in about five casts. Never been so lucky fishing before.
Way to Catch Lando !! Nice Stripers, thanks for sharing and pics !

Are they all stocked STRIPERS? What is the limit on size and number.

Not stocked, in the san Fransisco bay, for us here it’s two possession limit, minimum 18”.

Alright buddy. Congrats.
Only problem with that is your fishin for stripers is over for the day.
In one way it's a blessing. Another way it's a curse. I prefer to keep fishin so we always release them after the first one is on the stringer. We just hope we catch another keeper close to the time we WANT to quit.

I was so excited I didn’t even think about that! Haha I need to find my stringer for next time.

Yeah buddy. They'll ticket ya if you have 2 fish on the stringer and you're still fishin. You can get away with bait fishin sometimes by sayin you're fishin for some other kinda fish, but if you're castin plugs or lures, it might not be too believable and you're probly gonna get a ticket.
The wardens we've met on the Napa are pretty strict. They've all been nice but pretty thorough just the same. As they should be. That's their job.
