Thursday was good with one Wiper caught. Friday spent 5 hours on WB, nice day, but skunk climbed back in the boat and hid under my anchor ropes[mad]. Not even a hesitant tug on ANYTHING.

That's it. Couldn't find that darn skunk to take his photo, but I know he's there in my boat still.

Saturday, weather guessers said it was going to rain. When I got up this morning, looked out the window (toward to south east) yep[-, looked like rain. Went out to cover the boat (left the cover off all night hoping that skunk would climb out). Looked north west (toward WB) hey, it's blue sky.
So hooked up the Tin Can and hit the road. Did all the worms in Davis and Weber county die, or did the delivery guy get hijacked? Stopped at 5 places on the way to WB South and the first 4 were all out. Anyway, got my crawlers. Got to WB south about 0900. Was surprised to find about a dozen boat trailers in the lot. Means water level up at least far enough to float most small to medium size fishing boats. Turns out there were a couple representatives from the power squadron too.

Got out of the south marina about 300 yards, this is the important data. And that's it from me anyway.

There was a boat with 3 anglers parked just off the center of the outlet channel. I didn't see it myself, but was told by another boater at the dock when I decided I had played with that skunk in my boat enough for the day, that they were just killin the Wipers. That's all I can relay. Well wind came up, dark clouds moved in an I packed it up and took the Tin Can home and covered her up. (Maybe that skunk will smother in there over night. Have a good remaining weekend all you BFT'ers.

Sorry to hear the wipers did not come out to play for you Forest but it sure sounds like they did for others. I do believe the catching is starting to pick up.

You should have trolled up and down the inlet channel. About 150 people would have loved you then! [Wink][angelic]
