Beautiful Day at Utah Lake - LloydE - 03-18-2010
I looked at the weather report and decided to go fishing for the first time this year. Since I love to fish for walleye I decided to try my luck at Utah Lake, hoping that I might find a few who wanted to play.
I couldn't find anyone to go with me, so I decided to go by myself. In case the water might be extremely cold, I took my pontoon instead of my float tube--even though I enjoy fishing on a tube more than fishing on a pontoon. That was a good choice because the water was still quite cold.
I arrived at the lake at about 8:30 am. I fished all over the lake but didn't find any walleye or catfish that would play. I fished in the deeper water (10 feet) and in the shallow water (2 feet), but I couldn't get anything to hit my favorite lures. Finally, I hooked into a large carp that woke me up, and gave me some hope for some additional fishing action. I caught the carp in about three feet of water so I continued to fish in the shallower water. Finally I hooked into my first white bass in about two feet of water. It wasn't very large, but it was a lot of fun after going so long without any fishing action. I continued to fish for the white bass, and began to catch them on a steady basis. They fish were not large, but I ended up catching fourteen in a relatively short period of time. The weather was beautiful and the fishing was fun.

[cool]Nice report, Lloyd. Looks like a pleasant day on the old muddy pond. It's good to see the white bass made things interesting for you.
I think it's time to dust off my tube and get on out there to Lincoln... I'm thinking of going on friday afternoon/evening, weather permitting...

I think it was about 48 degrees now. It has evidently warmed up more than I originally thought.
