Port of Sacramento 2/28 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Had to go up to our State's Capital for a conference, so I decided to head up a few days early and get some fishing in on the Port of Sacramento. It seemed slow all around, but I was able to manage two LMB and one small striper. Most folks I talked to came in skunked. Hit the water before 7 and trolled around until about 10 for nothing. Decided to head down river a bit and work the edges. That's where I caught all three fish, all on the same wild eye swim bait.

Did quite a bit of recon on Northern California Kayak Angler forum and found some great info and some good folks on there helped me out with a few questions I had. From talking to folks at the launch and on the water, it seems that some big fish come out of this area, especially when the shad run in the spring. Still pretty cold up there though (for socal standards). I would recommend fishing this area if you ever find yourself in Sacramento with a Kayak. Easy launch access, close to downtown Sac, decent to amazing fishing.
