After sitting in my easy chair since Dec 1, too wimpy for winter
fishing in my old age, I finally headed to Brannan Island State Park
near Rio Vista, CA and an overnighter on Suisun Bay, downriver about
20 miles.

The main purpose of this trip was to finally break in my new (to me) C-
Dory after all the projects of the winter. She was more than ready to
go fishing and all went well.

I managed to catch a fight'n fool of a sturgy about 57" long near
Decker Island on Day 1. He was scrappy and put up a grand battle for
about 10 minutes or so. As usual, he fell for a luncheon of eel
steak.
