Trip Summary

Today's charter started off right at high tide before the outgoing started. We marked scattered fish and had several strikes trolling A rigs. They were hitting the dummy teasers on the A rigs. We boated our first 20 inch fish pretty quickly. After making another move to search for more fish, we continued to get strikes on A rigs and trolling minnows from Snagum n Bagum custom tackle. After making a move to another slough and finding more marks on the sonar and getting more teaser strikes, we made it happen. Our young men we had on board hit a 7 pound 11 ounce striper. We got a bright healthy male striper over the rail and big smiles all around. We continued to troll got a few hours and even dropped cut baits on a school of fish. Cut bait produced multiple shaker like bites and the tide was really slowing down now. We made one more trolling pass and called it a day. We came back to the marina, cleaned a couple of nice healthy fish and sent our guests home with fresh fish for dinner. Water temps in the Mokolumne River were 65-67° We specialize in getting families on the water and provide a safe, fun environment for kids to catch their first fish!
