We should have gone to Utah Lake which was also on our radar. At least we could have gotten away from the power squadron that showed up in droves by 10am! I’ve got to believe that is why the fish were hunkered down and unwilling to commit to anything. Hit the Pelican Beach and Light Pole areas with fligs tipped with chub meat (Thx Obi!) and worms and the trolled cranks for 30 mins or so heading back to the south marina. We landed one foot-long cat for our efforts. No other bites either. We marked tons of fish, they just weren’t interested.
Lesson learned (again). Stay away from fishing on holidays. The parking lot was full when we left at 2:30pm!
Bummer on the fishing, I'm hopeful that we will have better luck when we give it a go in few weeks.
