Hunting Update
This week at Gun Shop
Let's get started!
Tom, our Salty Dawg was towed 5 miles into the ocean by this 182 lbs Big Eye Tuna. He was alone, on his 17ft Boston Whaler boat. He managed to put the fish in the boat and make it back to the dock with a virtually empty gas tank. Congrats to our Salty Dawg Tom for this fantastic catch. He truly lived through Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea" story. Except for the "Old" part :). Thank you for sharing Tuna Stakes with the crew, Tom. Sashimi grade fine dining, indeed.
Napa River
The Striper bite continues to be red hot. Both the boat anglers and shore anglers are catching them really good. Cut Anchovies or Sardines are working best for schoolies, with an occasional keeper. Casting or trolling various swimbaits, rattletraps. Guys reporting a good early morning and late evening top water bite, and wild things are working for stripers up to 7-8 lbs. Even the fly guys are coming in and reporting a good streamer bite casting against tuly lines.
The South end of the River is still producing a mixed bag of fish as well. We appreciate all the reports. Please send us your pics and we’ll publish them here: team@sweeneysports.com
Lake Berryessa
Lake berryessa has been fishing fantastic the past two weeks. Trout and king bite opened up, despite the conditions that have been thrown our way this year. Limits of trout with some kings have been the name of the game. Angelers have been trolling anywhere from 40 to 90 feet deep. Keep working hard and it will pay off.
Ocean Salmon Action
The Salmon bite is starting to slow down out in the ocean with a lot of fish starting to make there way up the river. However, if you wanted to go search for an ocean giant, now is the time to do so. Although anglers are having to search for their fish and put in the time, there are still limits of Salmon being caught. It continues to be one of the best Salmon seasons in recent memory. We have a good supply of trolling balls, and your favorite salmon lures. We also got our hands on a limited supply of tray Anchovies, hopefully, we can keep them coming in, but for now, we are limiting customers to 3 trays per visit. The tuna bite out of Fort Bragg is in full swing right now, and Albacore is being caught daily with a mix of Dorado being pulled in as well. Our Salty Dawg Tom went out last week and got a handful of albacores and even pulled in a 182LB Big Eye Tuna!!! Come down and chat with our Salty Dawg Tom for recent reports and techniques.
River Salmon Action
River salmon season continues to get better as the days go on. Angelers who are putting in their time in and working hard are seeing the pay off. We are seeing people catch sitting on anchor with Brad’s Killer fish plugs, or Silvertrons, or getting into a hole and jigging. The troll bite will heat up here soon when we get a big push of fish into the river. Angelers up north in Cottonwood and Barge Hole area, are really working hard for the fish and getting a few here and there. The trout bite, however, is red hot up there. The fly fishing guys are nailing them daily. Come into the shop and grab our fly guide Robbie’s card or go to catchhappy.co to get in touch with him. Keep working hard my river friends.
This week in Hunting
Theres a lot of really nice bucks being killed here recently in A zone, guys are starting to see bucks getting ready to start the rut. Big bodies and swollen necks. With this heat wave, early mornings and late evenings are the best times to have a chance at real nice buck. Or, finding a water source, sit on it and wait for the deer to come to you. We are expecting to see cooler temperatures starting next week wich will be good for the A zone hunters.
