I have not ice fished there for piles of years.
We went to Provo State Park got there about 4:15 yesterday afternoon. 12-26-20
There were lots of people. Didn't know it was so popular.
Watched fishers for 10 min. or so and saw that the folks in the outer harbor seemed to be doing better. I walked out to some predrilled holes about 30 yds off North dike. Dropped the Kastmaster and started catching White Bass at once.
Even with my catching I could not bribe the bride to get out of the outfit and onto the ice. She said "It's to cold these pants are real thin." (hadn't really planned for much so we didn't take insulated pants and stuff to spend much time in cold) I fished for 15 min. or so as it was more or less on a lark we were there. I would guess that in that short time I caught near to 20 fish all white bass.
Did not tip Kastmaster with anything. A lot of the time it would not make it to the bottom before being picked up. Water was in the neighborhood of 8' deep.
I could get into this kind of minimalist fishing. One rod, no bait, no auger, no sonar, no sled and as many fish as a fellar wants to catch.
If bite slowed I would move to a diff. hole 10' away. When it paused there off to another hole. Someone had been kind enough to supply me with 3 holes 10' apart.
