Met up with Lee and BLK at the ramp this morning. Air temp mid 50's. Water temp 63 at launch...warming to almost 68 at noon. Glassy calm most of the morning...with a couple of mild sessions of light breeze.
Lee and I worked the area out off the springs...from 6' to 9'. BLK headed east. Don't know how he did. He got a new radio and couldn't get it to work. Most trips he doesn't wanna talk to me so he claims "bad batteries". He was already gone when I came in just after noon. And Lee left early too...after dropping his wife's camera into Utah Lake...to join all the other cameras and cell phones it has eaten over the years. At least he brought a half dozen cats to the net before suffering the possible loss of his marriage...or some of his extremities.
Fishing was not stellar after the little front that went through yesterday. Picked up one here and there, but no real concentrations. And many of the bites were tentative...except for the few that slurped the whole flig down. I think I finished up with about 10 cats. All but one were under 2 footers. The biggest was almost 27 inches...and fought more like it was 27 pounds.
Kept getting a lot of "rattle rattle" bait molester bites. Figured they were probably white bass. When I caught one on a big flig that proved my theory. And when the kitties slowed way down after about 10:30 I put up a bait rod and began slinging tandem plastics for whities. Probably got about a dozen and kept 6 between 10" - 12". Also got a surprise crappie. Way out in the middle of nowhere...a crappie.
Only a couple of boats out besides BLK. Not sure how anybody else did. But it was a nice day for fishing...even if the catching was not spectacular. Always is.
