Napa river sunaday funday!

Man where to start. Launches off lodge across form the salt vaporizers around 930am went up to highway 12 anchored and got some bites nothing came in. Then went towards highway 37 to chase them stripers and nothing but shakers in swim bait. Did see a seal devouring something huge and shinny tho. Thrilling while we sat there and watched. On the way to 37 we stop at the green marker "11" tied up to the pole and 5 minutes later I had a bite that felt like a sturgeon and when I grabbed the pole to set the hook and I set it reall good!  Before I knew it the fight was in like donkey kong. And I am Happy  to say  a 43 inch leopard shark was landed. Didn't even know there was shark in the Napa river haha. Next trip out will be grizzly bay. Maybe something way better will hook up!  Enjoy the pic! 

Hey,
A shark is always better than a a skunk!!!
Nice job[emoji4]

Nice picture!

Nice ! Yeah, especially in the summer when there's no runoff coming down, you'll get sharks, rays, and even the occasional halibut moving further upstream. Cool catch none the less.

Have no doubt that what the seal was tossing around was a salmon. I've seen a few all the way up into the downtown area already.

Thanks for the report !

Thanks guys! Didn't forget to mention but a we got stuck right before entering all the houses on Brazos  Napa and when we run out of gas we honk at boat with A group of people who decided to ignore the SOS, the continued honk and the waved arms trying to get help. So they took off but thankfully  a guy name Matt and a guy named Kenny tugged us back to the launch they was the last ones out and we woulda need super screwed if they woulda never came to the rescue. So a big shout out to them both. I believe Matt was he owner of he aluminum boat.What a rookie mistake to to not bring the extra gallon. Lesson learned hahah.
