[cool][#0000ff][size 1]Hey Champ, I don't think you meant to respond to my post to get the info on Lincoln Beach, but I will reply. Lincoln Beach is at far southern end of Utah Lake, reached by taking a turnoff in Spanish Fork.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]There have been detailed directions given on past posts to reach Lincoln Beach. Go back trough some of the recent threads on Lincoln Beach and you should find them. If not, I am sure Kent (or someone else) will be happy to post them again.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Lincoln Beach is a fish magnet for a couple of reasons. First, it is one of the few areas around Utah Lake that has "structure". The bottom is composed of volcanic rock, with lots of cracks and crevices for fish to snuggle in. Second, there are some warm springs that come into the lake here and the fish are especially attracted during the colder water months.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]The rocks and stickups make this area tough to fish if you bounce jigs or fish bait on the bottom. There is a lot of "donated" tackle out there. But, if you fish bait below a bobber, to keep your terminal tackle just up off the bottom, you can have some good action while reducing your number of snagged outfits.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]One of the big appeals to many anglers is that you can almost always find a couple of different species willing to play. Most guys start with the big channel cats this time of year. The smaller "mud cats" often keep you occupied while you are waiting for "Mr. Big". If you want different action, there are often white bass or a couple of walleyes to bring home for the table. At times, depending on where and how you fish, you can also score some nice bluegill and crappies.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]It's an area that is user friendly, even if it lacks tall pines and clear water. There isn't much esthetic appeal. But, if you wanna wrestle some big cats, with the chance for side action on other species, it is tough to beat it.[/size][/#0000ff]
