Today I guided Ed and Brandon Cornelius on a striper trip. The Sacramento River had started to clean up so we decided to head over there and take a look. We launched the boat at 7:00 AM and there was only 2 other trailers in the parking lot so I figured no matter what it was going to be a good day. We headed up stream and started drifting live minnows. At the first couple of stops we caught a few small shakers so we decided to keep moving up stream. The higher we went up river the better the fishing got and by 11:00 we had limits of nice sized keeper fish in the box. We caught a total of 10-12 keepers and roughly 30 shakers. The biggest, smallest, and most fish caught today were by young Brandon. His rod was absolutely on fire, and he even managed to hook his dad and beat me in the head with a lead weight. We had a great time and I hope to fish with these guys again.
