Let's get started!
This week in Fishing
The local fishing report for the Napa River saw a little bit of a slowdown in Striper action. The heat has really slowed the bite down. Anglers need to get out early and late if the tides permit. Fish are still being caught on swimbaits, rattle traps, and P-line predators. Cover a lot of ground to find the fish, and stay on them! Try running around to the breaks, and sloughs on an outgoing tide. Throw Lucky Craft LV 500 or Spro Aruku Shad for a better bite. Shore anglers continued to catch a few schoolie-sized stripers, with a few keepers mixed in. No reports of sturgeon being caught.
The Second half of the Ocean Salmon Season started this week. With better wind conditions forecasted anglers might actually get out on the water. With the water temps being much cooler there should be a good number of salmon to be caught. We are stocked up on all your favorite lures and tray baits. Get out there and give us a report back.
Lake Berryessa continues to see the water temps go up, and the fish moving into deeper water. The action for Kokanee, trout, and salmon remains fair to slow. Anglers are still catching a mixed bag of fish but working for them. Various locations from the Narrows, Big Island, and Putah creek channel in 40-60 feet of water are producing fish. The summertime bass bite has actually been pretty good. Some anglers are still catching fish shallow around the bait balls and others are catching them at 20-40 ft. Try finding the bait early and hit those fish with top water baits, flukes, Senkos, and various other plastics. Then as the day goes on try finesse fishing techniques on the rocky points and walls in the Narrows, Pope Creek, and Putah creek arms.
This week we brought in a new downrigger weight from 4 FINS. A very high-quality weight that many of the local guides trust, including Austin Abernathy here at the shop. Come by and ask him how well they run!!
We also picked up a new lineup of Kokanee and Trout flashers from J&J Tackle company. The Teardrop Dodger has been a hot flasher out on the waters this season, and now you can buy them here at the shop.

This week in Camping
Summer is here and it's time to head out on those camping and backpacking trips. Fishing those high elevation lakes and creeks, archery hunting, or just camping with the family we have supplies to help out. This week we just got a shipment of dehydrated meals from Peak 2 Fuel. This is a new company here at Sweeney's, but not new to the industry. They specialize in premium freeze-dried food meals. Loaded with protein and use less water to cook than most meals on the market. We have a good variety of flavors to test out on the mountain!
Also, this week we continue to get a few shipments of Yeti coolers in. These hard-to-get sizes and colors won't last long. If you are in the market for a Yeti cooler come down and grab one, we don't expect to get many more shipments.
In our clothing department, we added a lineup of flip-flops and summer shoes from Frog Toggs. We are very impressed with the quality and low prices of these shoes.

This week in Archery
Archery deer season is just around the corner with our local A zone opener on July 9th. Hopefully, you have been shooting and getting tuned up for the season. It's not too late to really dial in your arrows and match the broadheads up for that perfect shot.
Here at the shop this week we got stocked up on Annihilator Broadheads. We brought these in last year and sold out during the season. We received a ton of good reports on this head. Super strong and flies like a field point with a lethal explosion on impact. There is a new XL size this year if you want a little more cutting diameter.
Also new to the shop is Velvet Anter Technologies, a product on the market for preserving velvet on those yearly season bucks. Simply spray on an application that cures the velvet. Along with that spray is a blood remover product for your hides that helps prevent hair slippage. They also have a great mount cleaner and preservative. Come down and check out the new products or grab your trusty old favorites.
