Was hoping for a nice day of bank tangling today since my boat won't be ready until next week (maybe). Got to WB North about 0730. Got out to my usual spot on the north outlet point. Noticed the water level is coming up some. The high hump just out off the boat ramp that was exposed about 6" last weekend, is now underwater. Probably not by much though. Saw a couple guys out there today in a small boat that were pushing themselves off of that hump with boat paddles.
The wind got pretty brisk, so I moved in to the marina area near the Ranger dock. More sheltered from the wind, but no joy on the fishin end.
Left WB about 1415, and just for no reason, got off the I15 at Smith & Edwards, noticed that the "Closed for season" sign on the Willard Bay South Marina sign was gone. So.....I took a detour to check it out.
Yep, the white gate is open, and the gate at the park entrance shack is open too. Did a drive by up around the ramp area. Water level is still pretty low, maybe enough for very small boats, yaks or tubes. The left hand dock has a small corner in the water, right hand dock is still mostly dry. Give it another week with the inlet open like it has been, there may be enough water to put my Tin-Can in.
So the trip to WB this weekend wasn't a total loss. Caught one HUGE Carp Friday, and found out the South Marina is open today.
