Apparently I struck a nerve [pirate] but that's ok I'm sure you'll heal over time. Regardless of what you think of me or my advice, it is good advice and I fully believe you can improve your angling experience by following it. I'm far from a professional angler, never fished in a tournament, don't have a bass boat, just a $400 pontoon boat, a $130 fish finder and a pair of legs. I guess that may discredit me. Oh well.
I'm glad to hear you have been studying and finding answers. Now go out and experiment to see how good those answers are. I wholeheartedly agree that Utah water can be vastly different than waters back East, but if you throw out all the principles you can learn from true bass pros on Youtube etc. simply because it's from Georgia, Texas or Minnisota I believe you do yourself a disservice to your potential success. Florida's Okeechobee has similarities to Pelican Lake. The highland reservoirs of Tennessee have some similarities to Pineview and Deer Creek. The California Delta has some similarities to Utah Lake. I could go on. You call it crap, I call it gold! We've got the same northern strain of bass they do back East and they behave similarly here, they just eat different things. I've taken dozens of those principles and made minor alterations for my local waters and have improved my catch rate and quality tremendously. I've given you some great help, you simply have to see it cuz I aint' going to just hand it to ya. I haven't got enough room or time to write it in this forum when it's already been produced elsewhere. Good luck, I hope you catch a big one this year. Oh and stay away from my secret pond, it aint big enough for the both of us [sly][][cool][:p]
