Early bass?

[richyd4u]

I remember being new to bass fishing back when we first moved to Kentucky. It was a hard transition going from being a life-long trout fly fisherman, to a lure-chucking bass fisherman...but I had some great guys on a fishing forum that helped me out and put on the right path, for that...I'm grateful. Once we moved back to Utah three years ago, we moved a mile from Sand Hollow and I had to change many of my bass-catching tactics that worked in Kentucky Lakes. No more targeting shore-line structure, but rather fishing deep on grass beds. It took me a little bit to figure out what SH bass wanted, but I figured it out and now I can't keep them off my line! So...time, trial and error, and patience are required for learning new waters in new areas. I know that at SH this time of year, we catch them deep, slow, smaller baits, and slow...did I mention slow? I would imagine the same goes up north. Match your forage colors and use a good attractant...lighter lines with spinning reels.

Good luck out there and if you are ever in the Hurricane/St. George area...let me know and I can take you out.
