Fishing Forum

I was driving back to SLC last nigh and of coarse I could not drive past the turn off without checking out the lake conditions. When I got their I could not help myself but throw out a few casts. I fished for about 2 min before I got my first fish. It was the best one of the day for me. 22 incher weighed about 4 #. WOW I cant believe it. The fish moved back in from Sunday when I was not able to buy a fish. Crankem was out in the main lake catching all of them.[] So Monday they are back in the channel and probably all over the lake now. No signs of spawning coming out of the fish. I think it is here. HOT ACTION that is. After the first fish I caught 3 more in the next 30 min. They all ranged from 17 -22". It was very fun to have that bite going on. It was a little off throwing because after I caught fish so fast the bite just died off for the twilight. I think the weather had a lot to do with this. When the fish were biting the sun was peaking in and out of the darker clouds that were moving by. But when it was steady cloud cover the fish seemed to turn off completely.

I was planning on keeping my fish today for a fry. I got one on the stringer. I caught another it was a nice male around 19" as I am putting him on the dinner chain he does some magic, flips up taking the wire that I have not yet hooked together stabs me in the had with his dorsal fin and is back in the drink to live another day. Lucky guy. Oh well I think I have enough to feed a few.

I was not the FOD today though. I walked up on a couple of guys that had a 5 gallon bucket with about 15 walleye in it. They said the fishing was great. they had one that was about the same size as my biggest but the rest were little male torpedoes and a couple 12-16 inch smallies. I think the fishing was red hot for a couple hours before I even showed up. They said one guy left early because he got bored catching so many[crazy] I dont think he understands what he was in the middle of. Anyway I had a great time and it was another day that I am glad I decided to check out the lake on my way home. It wont be a question anymore weather or not I do a quick look see.

PICS fist one is the 20" that I caught on SAT. Second is the 22" one I caught last night. MMMMM

Nice walleye!
I've never fished Starvation but have always wanted to try it out. Great motivation, thanks.

very nice fish. I haven't had a chance catching an eye since I stopped fishing at UtahLake. I passed Starvation only once when I got up to Pelican. Would you mind pointing out the spots at Starvation. I am thinking trying there.

We fished just outside of the channel in a boat this morning before work. The two males (one 13" and one 19") that we caught were still dripping milt. I would say the spawn is still on but has likely peaked. My buddy also picked up a nice fat 18" smallmouth. I agree the HOT ACTION is starting. It should be a good tournament saturday with plenty of fish to measure and photo.

Fod: Wet 1 has been trying to get ahold of you. We are one short of a team. I have room in my boat for sat. Give me a call.

I hope your real name is Rick Miller cause thats the only Miller I have registered and we've only got two or three spots left open. If you want one you need to call me or PM me ASAP. 435-830-6815

I'm sorry but we will turn people away at the entry if we reach too many people. DWR will shut us down if we have too many.

I hope if you were planning on fishing the tournament you can get in contact with me. We've only got two or three spots left open. If you want one you need to call me or PM me ASAP. 435-830-6815
I'm sorry but we will turn people away at the entry if we reach too many people. DWR will shut us down if we have too many. I would rather turn ten away the morning of disappointed than get the whole project shut down and have fines.

Ratstar:
You do have myself, my son Mike and Wet1 down for 3 botas...right.
That would be 6 bodies with 2 per boat.
See you saturday morning. Unless you want to stop by the upper camp ground friday evening for a tody [:p] Your more than welcome.

I am finding out tomorrow morning if I can swing out of working. I would be very happy to fish with you on the tournament. Then WET1 can fish with his son. It is kinda funny after all this flip flopping you could have just fished the tournament with your son......lol But I am glad I get a chance to fish in a boat with a guy that might give me a lesson or two. I appreciate you guys considering me. I will call you tomorrow.

FOD:
I'm leaving for the lake at 7:00 AM today. If you can make it and want to spend a couple of days...I have room in the 5th wheel. Just bring your Sleeping bag, pillow,drinks and boat snacks. I have plenty of spinning, bouncing, cranking rods in the boat...plus terminal tackle. I share [] and don't mind.
Be great to meet you and spend a little boat time together.

If you cannot make it give myself or Wet 1 a call some time today.
I'll be in the upper camp ground next to the bathrooms.

Yeah there has been "ALOT" of indecision and changing of minds at the last minute. Kind of a pain in the a$$...but I'm sure something will work out.

If all else fails, I'll fish it by myself.

Hopefully I'm pulling my boat up there as well Friday morning. Mechanic should be done with it today. If that does work out I'll be by myself in a boat as well and have room for one more. I will jump in with you Crankem if FOD can't get off of work and probably not pull my boat at all. If my boat isn't ready then Ratstar said there are 3 or 4 other boats with singles so hopefully I can jump in with one of them.
