[#0000ff]Had a complicated week...with commitments and wacko (hot) weather. Had a small hole in my schedule this morning so made a short shot on Utah Lake. Met fellow tuber Pa at Lindon and we were both launched by 6 am. Sure is getting lighter later.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff] [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Air temp 65 and water temp 75...after the thunderstorm of the previous night. Wondered if it might affect the fish. If it did, it wasn't negatively.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Saw a few marks in the 6' water inside the harbor but got no love on pitched plastics. Ditto at the harbor entrance rocks. Headed south to the bubbleup and caught a couple of white bass early on small plastics dragged behind my tube while my electric was on max speed.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Someone has been messin with the marker buoys on the pipeline. Some missing and others way off the pipe. Tough to find the structure but no matter. Nothing but bitty whities there to pester anyway.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff] [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Moved out a ways and started soaking a big chub minnow. Game on. For the next three hours Pa and I both kept pretty busy with playful kitties. Best depths were 5-6 feet...on both sides of the pipe. He was fishing fligs, white bass and perch meat. I fished the chubs and also some white bass on fligs. The cats were agreeable to all.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]We both needed to make a short day of it so we were back at the ramp by 11. Lee had managed 11 feisty kitties and I guesstimated I had exercised around 20. Most fish were in the early 20's (inches...not pounds). Several two footers. My biggest was a cat-tankerous 27 incher that wanted my bait but didn't want to join me in the tube. It was almost 10 minutes before it let me see its ugly face.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Nice weather, good company and plenty of bent sticks and stretched string. A good day.
