General Fishing Tips / Re: Benicia Stripers in Spring?
« Last post by SpeedyStein on Today at 04:42:12 PM »
Following….i like how you can troll 2 rods in Benicia.

Same, I usually start with a rattle trap and an A-rig, and if one gets hit more than the other, will switch both to match.  Have a few new things to try also, should get bit.  If very steady action, will go down to one rod, or just drift and cast. 

I tried a month or so back. Facebook had been lit up with people catching in the delta and the bay. So I figured the same, try in between. And it is an easy drive for me.

At least back then, I was the only one at the launch (so not a good sign). And the water was extra extra dirty. Couple of inches visibility. I was surprised, it hadn't rained that much immediately prior to when I went. Not sure what it will be like now with less recent rain (except for yesterday of course).

If I was to go again, I would check the water with perhaps a plan to drive a bit further if it didn't look good. But also I'm not super familiar with striper fishing. So my read might not be the best.


Thanks for your report here.  Were you looking deep or shallow?  I wonder if on the way back into the salt if the stripers just cruise through?  Seems like on their way up river they hang out for a while on the way through Benicia.

I'm wondering too...  I live here and honestly should just be out there trying more but I've gotten addicted to trying for halibut or jonesing for rockfish, and am probably neglecting striper possibilities lol

I hear ya - I've been pining to get out on the coast, but my schedule and the weather can't seem to align.  I've been doing a lot of freshwater to fill the gaps, but I'm definitely ready for a lingcod.

Wow!

Yep Navionics files did it, sweet now along with the descenders I made up with today I can be sure I'm in compliance. See you guys on the Ocean.

Great.  I could not believe that the different models of Lowrance fish finders act differently on the same file.

Thanks for putting this together Paul and thanks Al for making the GPX files.

I was able to get both files onto the disk and then load both of them onto my Hook 4 as trails,
I was also able to get the 50 Fathoms line to display!

Unfortunately I was unable to get the 20 Fathoms to display despite double checking all the settings and going through transferring that file a second time.

Locally I'm not worried about being near the line but  Fort Ross and North it gets deep real
quick in some spots and cell reception is spotty so can't just rely on the GPS on the phone.

You might try to import 20FA Navionic file.  My old Hook worked for this file only.  Also, remove "Trail 001" before you start.  It might create Trail 001.  When it works properly, you should see 239 points.
