Hennessy Lake afternoon session 4/28/2014

I had the day off so I decided to try Hennessy in Napa.

On the water at a very leisurely 11:30 and immediately got bit while drop shotting a 4" keitech shad impact soft plastic. Nice chunky 3lber

Continued throwing the same setup for about a dozen bass ranging anywhere from 8-9 inches up to 2-3lbers. In the late afternoon the bite temporarily died, until I found the fish again tight up against the tulles.

The action was far from hot, but there was enough fish to keep things interesting.

Overall, Hennessy was a very cool little lake. I liked how scenic and peaceful it was compared to some of the other lakes in the bay area, but some of that could have been attributed to fishing during a weekday.

Lowpoint of the day was dropping my cell phone into the lake after releasing a fish. Oops.

What's strange is that the phone continues to ring, even though it is submerged in about 10 feet of water even now, hours later. If the lake wasn't a no-contact body of water I would have gone back with mask and snorkel to retrieve the phone.   

Anyway, still a pretty good day

Sorry to hear about the phone Nelson.  Thanks for the report from my favorite lake.

Now you've made me nervous about dropping my phone. Maybe a life proof case and a tether are in order. At least you caught some fish!

On the water at a very leisurely 11:30

That's early for you. 

Bummer about the phone bro!

 

Dude...as great as it is seeing a fishing report from you...I want to see the diving report from that big goat and Ling!

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Jim
