Looking for some spring break trip ideas. Early April and am willing to travel a decent distance, 5 to 6 hours from the East Bay. Son is turning 15 and we need some time together. Would like to get him into fish, so the initial thought is small mouth. Just don’t know any decent water which will support this initial thought or if this is even possible in the Spring.

We have a large kayak, SUP, and a fish cat, so water mobility is covered.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Even if it’s just a general area...I’m OK doing some home work. Thanks for your input.
