Well FB2 and I headed to Lindon Harbor this morning. Tune up cruise for the ole fish tub. We thought we would test run the boat before Powell spring break bash. So I went over everything carefully, bait-yes, rods-yes, reel-yes, jigs-more than you can shake a stick at, check the oil, fuel the tub, and don't forget the tires. That turned into a not so quick trip to Big O.
But now we are on the road heading to Ut Lake. Pay our 5 bucks (soon to be 10) get a promising report from the atendant and we're to the ramp.
After sitting all winter wasn't sure how the old gal was going to act, but she fired right up and we were off to try our luck. The lake was smooth as glass most of the day and the fishin was great, the catchin a bit slow 1, 4 and half pound carp was all we could manage. But that was on my ultra light and man was it fun. The big bummer of the day, after all that careful planning and rechecking and standing around saying "have i forgotten anything" I left the sonar on my desk! Ut lake is no place to be with out a sonar. Well FB2 is at the helm and doing a fine job he is. Then he runs over a carp I look back and we have a mud trail behind us. Haven't any idea how long we had been churning up the bottom of the lake. We slow down raise the motor a bit and head for deeper water. We tried for the eyes at linclon beach no luck but that is where the carp hit a white curly tail jig. While fighting the carp we grounded the boat on a huge boulder. FB2 and I fliped coins to see who was pulling the boat off LOL. Thanks for the tow FB2! Water was only 10 inches deep right there. Man was I missing that sonar! Well we head back over to Lindon with a quick stop at Bird Island, had a couple of light taps but no hook-ups.
It was a grest day to be on the water, the boat ran great, FB2 was in rare form.. Think we are going to go and do it again tomorrow only this time try and do a little more fiahing and less sight seeing.
