Ben and I went out to the Napa yesterday and the wind was blowin bout 20+mph it seemed.
First thing in the morning we started trollin a little ways from the dock. Go bout 100 yards and get a double hookup. We land those and I go back up where we started trollin and start again. Ben hooks up bout 60 seconds later. Haven't even been fishin hardly 5 min and we have boated 3 already. None were keepers though. Trolled on a ways further and then left that area.
Got out to the fishin grounds and the whitecaps were already bout a foot and a half.
Started driftin through the area and found small bunches of fish here and there. Would catch 3 or 4 here and then they were gone. Keep lookin and catch 3 or 4 there and then they were gone from there. Kept doin that till bout 2 pm. Caught lots of fish and kept 4. Two 19s , a 20 and 21 incher.
When we were leavin the whitecaps were nearly 3 feet out on the main body. Got a little wet on the ride back when I had to turn and go crosswise to the waves till we could turn and go back up river with the waves.
All in all we had a pretty good day though. Not too hot with the wind blowin all day.
Looks like a nice catch, Steve.
And a belly full or two as well!
Yummy π

Saw you and Ben seem to get into them every time you go out. Not all may be keepers, but always sounds like you have Fun, even if you get a little wet from time to time. Thanks for the pics.
