Let's get started!
Napa River
The Napa River continues to be the best bet for our local waters. The Striper bite is wide open throughout the river. Bank anglers are experiencing great action on schoolies with keeper size thrown in the mix. As always anchovies and sardines are the bait of choice. Live bait like mudsuckers, and bullheads or our jumbo minnows are working well for bigger fish. We will try to keep a decent supply of jumbo minnows in stock this fall, come bye and pick some up. Trolling and casting Rattle Traps, LV 500's, and broken backs continues to produce stripers. Cooler temps this week will just keep that bite rolling along, Wow it's been a great couple of months of striper action, get out there and experience the action. Need some help locating and catching some stripers, drop by the shop and talk with Tom or Chad for some pointers.
Lake Berryessa
Lake Berryessa still has a decent trout and king salmon bite going on! Some limits of trout are being caught with a few big kings mixed in. Trollers are finding fish in 40-90 ft spread out in all the favorite south end spots. Anglers are reporting finding a ton of bait! Find the bait and find the fish! Try trolling larger profile lures like Speedy Shiners, Kastmasters, Needlefish, or Rapalas. Come by and chat with Austin and get up to date info to help you catch fish. Our guys hit Berryessa this week with some success, see their story in this week's report. Bass fishing still remains a tough task. I wish I had a better report here, but anglers that are pounding the water are only catching a few fish if any. The cooler temps will really help the bite.
Join Austin and Alex as they fished Berryessa on Tuesday. The guys are super excited to fish a brand new (to them) North River 20 ft Sea Hawk. She is the newest addition to the Catch Happy family. Her new name is "Catch Happy HQ". Thank you, Brian!
Clearlake
Clearlake, well low water levels and the extreme heat from last week has all but killed the summertime bite up there for now. The low water conditions is making it very interesting to even get on the water. The most recent report still had the launch at 5th street still open, and the public launch down in the Oaks open. However, due to low water levels and water quality concerns, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has canceled all bass tournaments here through October. Probably look to the Delta or Berryessa for all your bass needs.
The hot tuna bite continued out of Fort Bragg. As most of you know Tom had an incredible adventure last week toping it off with a Giant Big Eye tuna and several albacore. As I write this report Tom is back up there trying to duplicate the catch from last week. Hopefully we have another story of success. Come by and get the scoop from Tom, Sunday through Tuesday. We had several customers head up to Fort Bragg this week with a ton of success, but one of our favorites Dave Douma had a GREAT day this week. Him and his crew landed several Albacore, Big Eye, and a Mahi-mahi. Congrats to Dave!!
Dave Douma
The Salmon bite has slowed down off our coast, but there is still fish to be caught. Anglers are still reporting catching limits but working hard for their fish. As the Salmon start to make a major push up the rivers, the ocean bite will slow down. This week we got our first reports of Salmon being caught off Benicia. It's time to start throwing spinners off the Benicia shore lines. We carry a wide variety of heavy spinners perfect for this bite. As the Salmon come up in our river some anglers will have hook ups while fishing for Stripers. Just remember that our river falls under all ocean regulations for Salmon. Single barbless hooks on all your lures if your targeting Salmon. If you get that incidental hook up on your Striper lures just make sure to release that Salmon.
Outdoor Reports
Deer season is in full swing in Northern Ca. Our local A zone is open through September 25th, and the B and C zones open their general season this coming weekend. Our local hunters are experiencing a pretty good season so far. Reports of acorns hitting the ground and signs of an early rut are getting our hunters excited. As the rut starts up, one of the best tactics is to use Blacktail in heat scents to fool that weary buck. We carry a product called Moccasin Joe Blacktail Deer Doe in Heat, give it a try. We have all your deer hunting needs in stock, deer bags, knives, scents, and camo clothing. The last week of the season should be a good one, send me some pics and stories. Success found one of our local young hunters, Abigal Frye of Napa shot her first buck. Patience and a perfect shot paid off for her on a beautiful buck, congrats to her and her family!! I know that will provide them with plenty of steaks and burgers, yum!!!
Abigal Frye
Abigal FryeDuck Season is coming, we are starting to see some gear coming in. This week we received waders from Frogg Toggs, and apparel from Browning and Banded. Look for more duck hunting supplies to come in the next month. As new product comes in, we have to make room, so some of our summertime goods are marked down to move out. This week we are cutting prices on all our footwear from Frogg Toggs, take advantage of 50% off flip flops and water shoes. Also, all water boards and kayaks and accessories are 50% off. Keep checking out our discount area for great savings.
