Utah lake - white bass

[stlaf]

I also hit it today at the Provo Harbor. I caught 12 white bass and 1 yellow perch. About 1/3 of the white bass were small young of the year (about 6-7") and the other 2/3 were larger (>10"). The perch was a chunky 10.5".

I caught everything on either a small white jig or a small white ratso. Initially caught a few on meal worms and wax worms, but most were caught on small strips or chunks of white bass meat (with skin on). I caught several larger white bass on a jawjacker, but most wanted some sort of jigging action.

I didn't mark a ton of fish and I didn't see many others catching fish. Definitely helped having a fish finder. All were caught on the bottom or within about 3-4 feet of the bottom.

Water was around 10 feet deep where I was. Ice was maybe an inch at most. I did see someone launch his duck boat and plow through the ice out to the lake.

Thanks for the report
