The bite was fair, but included a number of lost keepers and under-sized fish. Skipper Roger Thomas had the party boat Salty Lady 12 miles west-southwest of Pt. Bonita on Monday. The Salty Lady is out of Caruso's Dock in Sausalito. The weekend opening of yachting season on the bay slowed striper and sturgeon fishing interest.
Stripers are in the Napa River, but require patient fishing.
Cache Slough in Delta Country is best for sturgeon, while Decker Island is the choice for stripers. Huge numbers of bass are under docks. Trout are taking trolled offerings 20 to 40 feet down at Lake Berryessa. Bass and some crappie also are being caught, according to Penny Bigelow at the Markley Cove Store. Anglers are after bass, catfish and trout at Lake Sonoma.
