Well, we had a good day on the ol’ Rio Americano Wednesday…I have a couple of shad/striper trips — a half day morning run and then a full day mission until dark after that…and the fishing was about as good as you can get!
We started off throwing swimbaits for stripers and caught a couple dandies…the 20ish pounder above taken by Bryce Roberts of Auburn, CA and then another nice one, caught by Jay Lopes, who was taking the day off from running halibut charters in the Bay…
Even the salty skipper needs to get bit once in a while!
But that only tells half of the story…
We also busted out the light GLoomis gear and hit the shad run in full force and probably landed 30 in the morning session and, as Lopes estimated, another 60+ in the afternoon. Basically, it was “on like Donkey Kong” pretty much all day long! Here’s Lopes showing that he knows how to do more than troll up a halibut…his 1 thousandth hook-up of the day…
Okay, my wrist is really starting to hurt now!
I’ll be on the river for another few weeks doing the combo thing, so if you want to get in on the fun, you can reach me HERE
