Oldest son and I took a trip up to Hyrum this past Tuesday. Was hoping for cooler (than Willard) water and air temps. We got that, sort of. And was hoping for fewer power squadron boats being mid week. We got that, till about 930 AM. Picked up probably 2 dozen small perch, and 2 trout. All released.
Today got out on WB at 818 A.M. from the south marina (sorry TD didn't snag up your missing fin [:/]) but just 10 min. on the water, boated a nice Wiper. Caught 2 more, but hours apart. First one was on that #5 Shad Rap in the "Hot Steel" color. That lure has been a pretty steady producer the past month. At least 1 Wiper on it most every time I put it in the water. Even caught the second trout at Hyrum on it Tuesday.
I think I actually saw the Ranger boat out on the water today. He looked to be checking a lot of the bigger boats. He was coming straight at me, and about 1/4 mile away, he heeled over to the left, ran up close to a wake board boat that was sitting dead in the water while they changed out boarders. Saw him make about 8 or 10 runs up to other boats down in the south west pocket, and then turn of short before actually coming alongside any of them. Must have been trying to find a specific boat..........?[:/]
Second Wiper boated today was a bit deformed looking. Short with a kind of hunch back.
All 3 released to go steel Tube Dude's bait again next time he ventures up this way............[sly]
