Improved Keitech Inventory
Keitech swimbaits are excellent bait for striper, largemouth, crappie, and more!
We have a variety of colors and sizes to choose from so come down and check them out!
Improved Crappie Section
The Crappie fishing has been on fire for the last couple of months. We received many requests from our customers to carry more Crappie gear and as a result, we have dedicated an entire end cap to it.
We also stock live minnows by the thousands and get deliveries twice a week.
New Pre-Assembled A-Rigs
A-Rigs or Alabama Rigs are a very effective bass fishing technique. Designed to resemble a school of bait fish with 3 hooks on the bottom swimbaits and two “teaser” swimbaits on the top.
We have taken the hassle out of assembling these A-rigs with a fully ready-to-fish set-up. Currently, we have two models at two different price ranges.
Moody’s Angler King A-Rig $49.99
Moody’s Yumbrella A-Rig $34.99

Fishing Report
Not much has changed in fishing since the last report.
Lake Berryessa continutes to improve. Anglers are finding success with king salmon either mooching or trolling a herring using a double-snelled hook setup. Make sure your bait is twisting in the water for the best presentation. The salmon can be found in 20-60 feet of water right now.
If you have kokanee fever and are willing to travel, head over to Stampede Reservoir, Bullards Bar, or Lake New Melonis. Boats are limiting out daily with both species on a strong bite. We are also starting to see Kokanee hookups at Lake Berryessa. If you don't want to drive too far, you may do well trolling J&J dodgers paired up with Paulina Peak flutter bugs or hoochies, tipped with shoepeg corn. Make sure to marinate in tuna oil the night before.
Halibut and striper action continues to be on fire in the Bay. Boats are limiting out daily with both species. I am thinking the stripers will soon start pushing into the Napa River in numbers.
We fished Napa River last Friday and were able to land a sturgeon bait fishing using live grass shrimp. That's the only thing that seemed to work. We spent all morning trolling everywhere in the river and sleuths and had no bites. We then decided to anchor up on good marks and do some bait fishing. It worked. The full video is our shortly on Catch Happy Youtube Channel.
Crappie bite is still strong in Lake Hennessy and you can find them in Berryessa in the shallows or next to the structure. Put a medium minnow under a bobber, or use crappie jigs.
We have everything you need to make your fishing trip more fun. Stop by the shop for the bait, gear, and latest intel before your next trip.
