ok, I have decided that we're jinxed or something. Took a trip to Strawberry today. Grandpa wanted to get my daughter into some fish. NORMALLY they catch 50-60 fish each. Not today tho. I caught ONE 14 inch cutt. My daughter (kait) caught ONE 20 inch cutt. Dad caught a 20 inch (3 lb) cutt, 3 15 inch and 1 14 inch cutt. Tried EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE. Oh well

we hit chicken creek first, thats where we caught what we did, but very slowly. Then we hit the narrows, soldier creek, the dam, renegade, and a couple other places im not sure. Wind was blowing pretty hard most of the time so we drifted, jigged, used repallas, squids, tubedudes magic minnows lol, dang cant even remember what else.

[cool][#0000ff]Nice report. Not a GREAT report...but nice. Glad you didn't smell skunk.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]See, I toldja you shoulda got the left-handed blue-eyed minnows. But NOOOOOOO. You had to go for the other ones. That'll learn ya.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]On some days it doesn't seem to matter where you fish and what you use. If the fish are in a negative or neutral mode...or if they have migrated deeper or shallower...or moved to another part of the lake...well, you might as well be using packaged shad on Willard Bay. (inside joke)[/#0000ff]

the water temp was anywhere from 64 to 71 depending on where. She was excited to catch one, should have seen her reel it in. But then was disappointed she didnt catch another. She says shes ready to hit willard again lol We seen a school of chubs im guessing, they were holding out underneath a floating bush and couldnt even get them to play haha[pirate]

Well thats just about perfect water temp for jigging deep.
lol,I bet she was excited.Already wanting to hit willard again? I bet the temp was awhole lot nicer up there.
I have never caught to many of the strawberry chubs but have seen these massive schools swim by.Think they would hit a jig with worm on it though.
looks like your going to have to rub power bait on your hands.[:/]
