[cool][#0000ff]Can't deny it. Got a "thang" for poor old Utah Lake. She has always treated me well so I try to be kindly and say good things about her. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I don't wear a clicker around my neck and I don't put a lot of importance on total numbers. But I can usually make ball park estimates based upon average catch rates, time on the water, etc. As far as the white bass count for yesterday, I probably didn't break a hundred. But I know I got somewhere over fifty...and maybe got close to the century mark. I had brief flurries of doubles by just dropping a rod length of line straight down and hoisting a pair of fish right onto my apron. I also had times of only a fish for every three or four casts. I kept a couple dozen of the first "contestants" because I know how they can shut down. But I continued to whack 'em good for a couple of hours afterward. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Only problem was that the silly kitties got jealous and kept interrupting my whitie session. Takes a lot longer to play "yo-yo" with a 3 or 4 pound kitty than it does an underfooter whitie. More than a few times I had a double white bass catch on one rod and a catfish pulling around on the second rod. Don'tcha just hate it when that happens? I don't. As I sometimes mutter to myself...out loud..."That's what I came fer."[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Glad you appreciate my contributions. I'm letting you guys take care of the troutskis...for now. As the water cools and the fall fling thing happens you will see more pics from me of fish with spots on them.[/#0000ff]
