Finally! I made it down to my honey hole on Suisun Bay for the first time since April. I tried twice since my last visit in April and it was just too windy. (Typical summertime on the delta.)

I stayed at Brannan Island for two nights, and fished Suisun Tuesday and Wednesday. That's 100 miles of river cruising to and from Suisun in two days! Thursday was too windy to head to Suisun again, and we fished locally.

I caught a feisty 46" sturgeon the first day at Suisun. He took my nasty, old lamprey eel that had been if the freezer for six months. That stuff is incredible.  He hit near the start of the incoming tide. I released him to fight another day; I have two tags left and want to keep larger fish.

It was a grand trip. Photos at www.FishWisher.com

Brannan is in the process of adding new ramps. Here's a photo of what's going on:



The construction is to be done by the end of the month - or so says one web site. It'll be great to see it done; for now there are just the two launch lanes - one at each end.

Nice outing Dale! Glad to see you found a hole in the wind and got out for a few days!

Thanks for the report!

Nice Dale. We missed you, maybe. There was alot of traffic out there Friday for sure. Until next time

Thanks all for the kind comments. It's good to get out there after the worst summer of fishing ever. And that feel of a sturgy when ya set the hook... well!  Just nuthin' quite like it.

And fishon_getthehook, it sure is great to have that push button anchoring system again. I wish all the geezers had such a set up.
