[#0000FF]The cats are moving into shallower water. We got them at Lindon on either side of 4.5 feet depth. They should move even shallower off Lincoln Beach. I have caught them in 3' or less by the end of April in years past.
You can find enough depth and good cattin' off the end of the south dike at Lincoln Beach. The outside edge drops off to 5 feet or more within easy casting range...especially if you cast due east toward the mountains. And it is a popular spot for fish to congregate too. However, be prepared to catch a lot more mudders than channels at times.
You can also hike out and fish off the end of the north dike. But it is shallower and snaggy except for right in the channel.
If you go out on the south dike, you have to park near the ramp and hike out. Not too far. When the water level was super high in 2011 it washed out the end of the dike and they put a concrete barrier a short ways out to keep vehicles out. Still haven't fixed the dikes...during the last 3 years of low water.
