[cool][#0000ff]Welcome aboard. We have a few hardcore bassaholics on the board who I'm sure will download a bit for you. You probably have already made a list of the best bassholes in the state. If not, stay tuned. Reports will be coming in more frequently now.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You will be pleased to know that the same tackle and techniques you have put together for bass elsewhere will work in many spots in Utah too. Utah Lake is the enigma for most newbie bassers in our area. But, if you know how to reason out a pattern, once you check out the terrain and make some casts you will get a handle on it.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There used to be a lot more largemouth fishing in northern Utah, until they dumped smallies in all the largie lakes. Now the LMB are a minority. Still there and still catchable...but you gotta get through all the small smallies first. As I am sure you have found out, though, there ain't nuttin' wrong with a 20 inch smallie on the end of your string.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Through the year you will be using drop shots, worms, jig and trailer, spinnerbaits, crankbaits and even some topwater when conditions are right. As always, you gotta find 'em to catch 'em. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Let us know whether you are a boater or not, and where you live and what style you prefer. Somebody will take you out and help put you out of your misery.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I will warn you. If you wanna keep the wife happy, don't make a trip to Lake Powell during May. She might lose you forever. And, some of the other southern Utah Lakes should be bustin' loose soon too. BIIIIIIIG basses in Quail Creek, down by St. George. And LOTTTTS of basses in Sand Hollow, with some of them getting much bigger now.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Peiican Lake, over near Vernal can be well worth a drive to a dedicated basser too. Big bluegills and lots of decent largemouth. A couple of other lakes over that way too, which can make for a good diverse weekend.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Plenty of bass if you have plenty of time and plenty of kitchen passes.[/#0000ff]
