Fished UL Lincoln beach with crossineyes. we arrived at about 7:00 am, high winds overcast. we fished in the marina for a few hours and caught 1 largemouth and 1 whitebass. the wind died down about 9:00 am, so we launched the boat. the water temp was 56
pretty much the whole day. fished pretty much the whole area from the hot spring to the west point. hook a great big carp so we took him and headed out the the island for some catfishing . no deal, nothing biting out there either. overall, a pretty slow day, one good thing, and one bad thing. good, the first time I've fished lincoln beach and not one jig was lost. bad, I lost my anchor in the rocks, that sucked, had to cut the rope, guess I'll be asking santa for a new anchor this year. later chuck

[cool][#0000ff]Wow, sorry I missed all that fun.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I would guess that the strong northwest wind the night before did its usual number on Lincoln Beach. I have never done well there right after a big blow. The water clarity drops below what I prefer for throwing plastics and the fish are not as active.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Too bad about your anchor. Those rocks eat everything they can get ahold of.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Were you able to find much on sonar in the deeper water? The last time I was down there we saw lots of suspended fish in 10-12 feet of water, and some on the bottom from 8 feet and deeper. But, the water was murky then too and we only dinged a couple of small whities on worm-tipped jigs.[/#0000ff]

Yae, I've never done any good after a big wind either down there.
utah lake has claimed 3 anchors of myne so far. we seen fish threw out the water column, no certain depth. we seen a couple of good ones out at the island but no takers.

this is for you duck hunters, there was a good flock of geese and some big ducks on the island. later chuck

Chuck, I have an anchor for sale on the "For Sale in Utah" forum. For you I would discount the price another $5.00. Let me know if interested.

Kent, thanks for the offer but that one is a little too big for my storage compartment. I like the little Navy style 25 pounder anchor, they really bite in and hold good in the wind. later chuck
