[quote TroutBumDave][quote FishingLunatic]In theory that could work but when they advertise how few carp there are in the lake and how crystal clear it is (if it actually gets that much clearer) the lake will become more and more popular to fish and people are gonna over fish the lake. The reason why you catch big channel cats and such over there is because they were able to remain uncaught for a large period of time because of most of your catches being carp.[/quote]
[#0000BF]Deleted [/#0000BF]No need to get into it with you, as you've pretty much stated that you don't know the history of the lake, or the carp. I'm one of those guys that actually spends several days a week targeting carp, as they're one of my favorite species to catch -- and Utah Lake is one of my least favorite places to go for them, as they're not real interested in eating "the bait". In fact, with well over 300 hours on UL this year, I've caught a grand total of 5 carp, two of which were snagged on accident.[/quote]
Really? It has been a few years, but back on our first of a total two trips out to UT lake, I hooked up on five. I thought it a rush and blast, but also very easy. Has it changed?
