"You have to make sure you have a firm bottom,"
[#0000FF]Uhhhh...what are we talking about here? This is a family forum. Right?
With the gradually sloping shallow edges of Utah Lake, anglers have been finding lots of ways over the years to be able to fish deeper water. In former times I did a lot of wade and cast fishing in several parts of the lake.
The ladder trick has been around for a long time. Ditto for guys who would back their trucks out to where the water was up to the frame...and then crawl in the back of the truck bed, set up their chairs and cast away.
In some Asian countries the locals go out at low tide and erect poles with steps and a seat on them. Then they go out as the tide is coming in, climb up to the seat part and fish until the tide goes back out.
Silly me. I just get in my float tube and kick out to where I want to fish. No problem with dinging a prop in shallow water or on the rocks. I just gotta be careful about standing up on slick rocks.
