Well I thought it time to report on our Sand Hollow trip...
Like I was worried about, the wind was pretty constant the entire trip, except of course for the last morning before we left for home (SLC). This made it difficult and uncomfortable to fish, but not impossible. Being shore anglers this trip, we fished the dikes nearly the entire time. Thanks to some great advice from other members I used a spinnerbait most of the time and it seemed to do the trick. I caught nearly half of my fish with the spinner. But honestly we used a bunch of different baits that seemed to work. I successfully used a jerkbait, crankbait, texas-rigged rage craw, and a weightless senko. And my brother used a carolina-rig, drop-shot, lipless crank, and whatever else. So like I said, difficult, but not impossible. And we even managed to get into some Crappie (my first Crappie, on a jerkbait no less).
Overall a great trip! I only fell on the rocks once, and we caught a bunch of bass. And again, thanks for the advice!
Oh, and since we were camping our phones were dead or nearly dead most of the time, so I apologize for no pics.
