I headed to Delta Marina for another three days of fishing - but had my time cut back due to a cousin's passing and funeral on Thursday. Next trip should be four days to make up for it!

On Day 1, I fished near Decker for about six hours - for no action at all. But the weather was sunny and clear and warm. And it's about time!

My buddy Willie joined me for Tuesday, and we cruised downriver to Suisun and my honey hole where I catch a sturgy about every other trip. We arrived at 0930 and fished 'til 1600. Around noon, Willie reeled in the laziest sturgeon I've ever seen. Maybe something was wrong with him? He measured only 30" or so and came to the boat quickly with no fight. He just laid belly up 'til I reached over and popped the hook out. Maybe he'd been through this catch and release routine before and just wanted to get it over with!

That was about it for the trip. We headed for the dock at 1600. It was absolutely perfect on Suisun. The water was like glass much of the time and the wind was from flat calm to a light breeze. It doesn't get any better than that!

Eel was the only bait we used. The shaker came just after the current turned to incoming.
