Fishing Forum

Yesterday afternoon joatmon and I got after the cats out of Provo Harbor. I was lucky enough to get ten, including a 28"er. Brett got several and continued to show me up with a 29.5". This afternoon I only caught four but one was 28.5" and another was 29". If the progression continues I should get at least a 30"! I hope to get out for most of the day tomorrow and Saturday. I realize that I'm playing the hare to you tortoises out there; believe me, I wish I could have fished all season long.

Its sure good to see reports again from ya. Hope you keep feeling better and better.

Hey Craig it is great to see you are getting out again and catching some great fish! I hope you get at least one 30, three would be even better! I saw your boat was gone yesterday and figured you were out there. This morning I saw that you have an electric on the back of your rig. Are you having trouble with the bow mount?

You, Joatmon and R2U2 have had a great October! I think it may be enough to pull the South team ahead for the win!

I have been going crazy for the last several weeks, with all the great fish being caught and me not able to join the fun! I have had to travel several weekends and then I sold my boat. I expected to have the replacement at the same time so I could get out a couple more times before the contest ends, but lots of things have gone wrong. I am heading to Page this afternoon to pick up the replacement. I should be home in time tomorrow to get to the lake for the evening, but I don't think the boat will be ready.  I have to mount a trolling motor and refresh the gas motors. They haven't run in a number of years.

No complaints though, it has been a great year for me and the new boat will give me more flexibility for next year.

Keep up the great work!

Yeah, Jim my bow electric is having issues. I think I know what the problem is but haven't had the time to mess with it. It looks like both of my batteries were bad so I bought a trolling one yesterday. The winds have been practically non-existent so Brett brought his 30-lb tiller Minn Kota a couple of days ago. Yesterday I dug out the 30 that my son gave me a long time ago. Looks brand new. I think that I prefer it because it will hold a course better than the bow-mount one and allows me to watch my rods better. Only problem is that it won't run slow enough; it looks like .6 or .7 mph is what it does on the first setting. It is working though so maybe I don't need it to go down to .3-.5.

You are welcome to throw in with me tomorrow if you want to.

Nice Craig! I'm heading down sunday.. I went Friday for about a hour and.. well the whitebass were hungry thats all I tried for though even after they ripped the tail off I got 6 or so before i had to leave.

Final hours... you got a last minute bump?

Yes, I did X2. Watch for my report.
