The girlfriend and I headed out to the Gorge on Thursday night, got there about 8 pm. Set up camp, and was getting ready to relax when one micro burst wind came up, broke the tent and blew stuff around, the rest of the night it was calm.
Woke up Friday morning and launched the boat, headed for swim beach. Weather was looking good!!! we both jigged and trolled with a few lookers no takers!!! ( finally I can see what is going on under the water with my new fish finder[cool]) About 11 am, we decided to take a boat ride, weather was calm, sunny and in the mid to upper 60's. Had some boat problems, the plugs started foulilng up on me. Due to it sitting for a couple of years with no use all the gunk was burning up and dirtying the plugs. so we landed the boat headed for manila to get some carb cleaner and starting fluid. cleaned plugs and seemed to do the trick. Fished the evening still lookers but no takers. SOme wind but mostly a absolutely beautiful day.
Saturday- we met Fishmagnet in Manila this morning and went down to Sheep Creek. ONce again a great day starting out, we went down around hide out, around king fisher and towards red canyon when the wind started to blow so we headed back to the marina and trolled and drift fished for bows in the marina, lots of fish on the screen, but no takers. WIth it being the end of the day i added a can of Sea Foam to my gas and it fouled my plugs again, put we were coming in anyway.
Landed the boat decided the weather was starting to turn and decided to pack up and come back a day early!!! We ate at the Flaming Gorge Cafe and motel, and the owner Gil Son or son in law can remember knocked down a 32 lb mack that morning and I also over heard the Conquest Expedation guy say they got some, but it has been slow!!!
All in all great time, no fish, but relaxing and got the boat out for some fun!!!!
