Utah Lake/Bird Island insight
#4
I have fished it many times for channel cats and white bass. I have had good luck on every side, except for the south side (others must do fine on that side also because I frequently see boats anchored up on that side).

I like to stop about two blocks away from it and use my Minn kota to move about 50-75 yards from the shore.
I do this because I have already spent too much money on getting my prop repaired from hitting it on the rocks out there. I like to move into one of the coves.

Once I anchor up (using the Minn Kota spot lock to do so) I will cast in all directions. If fishing for catfish, I usually fish using some type of bobber, because every time I fish on the bottom I often snag up. I will tip a hook (a weighted jig works great) with cut bait, or smaller whole minnows or with a whole large uncooked shrimp. If fishing for white bass I will typically cast some type of small silver spinner (no bait needed).

There are prop-eating rocks on all sides, but especially towards the southeast one must be extremely careful out for at least two blocks.
