NAPA – If you’d like to troll for stripers on the Napa River from Cuttings Wharf, then Captain Dennis Grossi of Grossi’s Guide Service has a report for you.

Capt. Dennis tells me that he’s putting his customers on limit fishing. Capt. Dennis is averaging 25 hook-ups a trip, with stripers averaging 5 pounds up to 10 pounds. One ounce Rat-L-Traps continue to be his lure of choice.

Sturgeon fishing (catch and release) should also improve on the Napa River. Anglers should use salmon roe, ghost shrimp, grass shrimp and other baits for the diamondbacks.
