Got to Powell on Monday at 8:30 and went to the check station and was ready to hit the water..NOT the wind was blowing and the lake had white caps..
About 1:00 or so we could wait no more and the wind had let up a little as well.. The water was a nice 54 and in some bays up to 57..
Got my first bass in 20' to 25' of water it was a nice 5.4 lb sm bass and about 20 to 30' down the bank I got another SM bass at 5lb even..
Most of the bass I got was in 20' to 25' depth range, I got off the water about 5:30 my best five bass went 18.1 lb..
Day two (tuesday) was nice and calm and I got on the water about 7:30 and fished all new water, the water temps was 54 at launch and got up two 59 in lots of the water I fished.. The bass had moved to water at about 15' to 20' with some at 10'.. I got lots of bass ( over 50) but my biggest on this day was a 4.7lb LM bass.. I did get both SM and LM bass each day..
On day three (Wednesday) the day was even better, the water was 56 at launch and no wind.. The bass was in water from 5' to 10' depth but the SM bass was the easiest to catch but most was 13" range and only about 10 or so LM bass with the biggest at 3.4 lb but fishing all new water in other spots..
On Thursday we hat a tournament with people from the DWR It started at 7:15 and went to 4:00..
The guy I drew was from Loa fish hatchery and had only fished for trout, we had a lot of fun we caught about 4 limits of bass and brought our best five to weigh in..
The bass on this day was in water at first from 5' to 10' but by noon you could see them all along the edge from 6" to 10' of water and was very very spooky..
At 3:40 I found one LM bass sweeping a bed and got it to bite witch was our biggest bass at 2.94lb at the weigh in and we ended up with our best five at 10.57lb for 8th place..
It was a lot of fun and nice to fish water that was warm at last the water at the end was 65 where the last LM bass had made a bed..
