Planned to fish Lake Hennessey saturday. But the 6 hp was leaking fuel out of the QD so went to Lake Berryessa instead with the bigger motor.

Launched out of Capel Cove. It was packed. Seen a Bald Eagle in the back of the cove.

Tried trolling looking for crappie/trout in Capel Cove. Too many boats. Fired up the motor and headed down to the narrows. Lots of pleasure boaters/jet skiers but they were well behaved and gave me a wide space while I trolled. Hooked on to a nice 16" trout right in the middle of the narrows, over deep water. I was flat lining with a 4" rapala in shad color. Wind came up and I headed out. Heavy waves for a 14' aluminum boat. Larger boats didn't seem to be having any trouble. Idled down and worked my way out.

Any one know where there is some decent crappie fishing? Haven't caught a crappie in years! Have the urge, lol.
