lake powel report or nothing to report more accurately

[Jedburton]

well I spent at least four hours yesterday and today trying to at least get a nibble at lake powell just up from the dam. I was fishing from shore using anchovies, worms and about anything else I had in my tackle box and didn't even get a look from the fishy fellows. It looked like the poeple anchored up to the bouys were catching a few but I am not sure. Today it was beatifull down there until about 1:00 and then the wind went crazy and I managed to loose a very expensive tent I had set up for the kids to play in. Luckily it was only the tent that blew away. Oh well it was at least nice to get a line in the water finally. It has been about three months since I was able to do that. I still need to get out and catch a fish though or I am going to go nuts. Well This is turning long so I will end it. Thanks all for the advice and maybe I will be able to make a trip down there again sometime when I have the boat,

You seem to have had about the same amount of luck that we did last week. We went down without the boat and just spent a couple nights on the houseboat in the slip (Wahweap). We dropped a few lines off the back and chummed a couple bags of anchioves and caught one silly catfish the entire time. Not a total loss though because it is always nice just to spend time down there.

I think we have found a solution to your porblem. BRING YOUR BOAT next time!!![] I always tell my wife when we are packing for a "non-fishing" trip "hey hun, dont you think you should reconsider not taking the boat on this "non-fishing" trip? I mean it will provide us more room inside the truck by putting our baggage in the boat"!!! Which in turn she responds by saying "NO BOAT, all you will do is ditch me with the family and go fishing"!!! About 2 1/2 hours of sweet talking[] later we are hooked up to the boat and driving off into the sunset!!!![]

I feel for you! [pirate] I guess timing is everything and a boat does not hurt either. I am heading over there in may the fishing should pick up by then. I would have thought that the chovies would have worked at least for the kitties from shore.
