We had a lull in the rainy weather so I headed back out today to Lake Berryessa. Turned out to be a beautiful day. I was on the water as the sun came up and left at 10:30. Like last week, I managed to put three in the boat. Lost two and released one crappie. Water temp was 60.5 deg on the surface. I was trolling Speedy Shiners behind down riggers fairly shallow. Except at one point I was marking fish deeper so put one rigger down to 35' and that is where I picked up the crappie. That was in deep water with no structure. I don't know anything about fishing for crappie but pick them up trolling all the time. Maybe they like the trout flavor goop I put on the lures.
Right before I headed back in, some kind of seaplane landed and cruised by me. First time I've had that happen. I tried to snag it, but couldn't cast that far.
