Benicia striper Saturday

Tides and winds look good for a striper beat down! Company welcome.

If I don't go to the ocean, then Benicia or Napa stripers are on the menu. They seem to be getting bigger fish in the Napa, but Benicia is easier.

Poor stripers...

Interested if you don't mind a beginner, I'll PM you!

Wish I could join - Good Luck!

I'm on board. I plan to arrive at 6:30 and get on the water at 7am. Troll 2 rods down towards Glen Cove with the tide and then back after the 9:30 tide change. Unless someone has a more proven strategy.

I will be out there for the incoming otw at 10!

Well it was a beat down alright. My 2nd striper skunk in a row (last one was Napa). Tried some new lures and the old go-tos and couldn’t even get any shakers.
On the bright side there is a new Hawaiian plate lunch restaurant next to the parking lot, but I was not in the mood to try it.

Thanks for the Benicia scouting report Joe.

Dang Joe, that's a bummer. It's been pretty hot the last couple weeks, must be messing with the bite.

I didn't get any bites with lures or drifting with a bullhead, and I didn't see anyone getting action from the shore / piers. Hope the heat wave breaks soon and the bite picks up.

Great seeing out out there anyway!

No beat down for sure. I met up with Steve and we covered a lot of water for nada during the incoming. Steve took off I decided that 90 degrees was better than 103 at home so I kept going.  Ended up hooking up 3, no keepers. The furbags were out at First street honking and slapping a couple salmon, so jelly!

Thanks for the report, guys.
It should pick up soon in that area.
