So there I was...

[fsh4fun05]

This may not seem much to some but to me it was a...umm...a....I don't know how to say it without dropping an F bomb.
I got up at 3:30 Sunday morning and was on the water at Jordanelle before I could even see what I was doing without my head lamp on. I went to my first spot, eyeballs looking precisely at my location on the GPS, sidefinder and down imaging locked on with the night time lighting. My first stop produced nothing! BOOM! In your face Lucky Craft and over priced electronics LMAO!
Ten minutes into it and no fish in "new water". The fear of driving in the dark was set aside and I pulled up my big boy pants and went to where I've been catching fish the last four weeks. The water levels have dropped drastically and I got side tracked when I saw sticks poking up roughly 100 yards or so off shore. Dropped the rpm's, turned around and did a sidescan on it and it seemed like it was worth checking out. Crazy how 7' changes an entire lake.
I'm not going to lie. My intentions were to catch a limit and cook dinner for my family. First few fish were 14-15 inches but those weren't the size I wanted to keep. It's been a long time since that's happened.
I gut hooked an 11 incher and in the livewell it went. I ended up the day with some bass under 12" to keep for dinner.
I got some crap for keeping bass for dinner from my bass fisherman buddies. One called me a "bass killer" but Jordanelle has plenty of small fish and I might as well get a couple meals for my license, right? Anywho, this little guy was in the stomach of one of them.
...oh crap! It seems that only half the picture came through on my phone. Stay tuned, I'll try again.

Those 11" fish are perfect to filet and fry, I take 6 most every time. My problem lately has been the 14 inchers getting in the way creating too much fun. Usually I release all the trout and keep the Perch and Bass..
Have your friends over for a Fish Fry!!

Well I guess I'll confess too, I kept a limt of bass at the View last year, one was all most 15"[blush]. What the heck is that thing in your pic?

Lol, the 3/4 oz. jig in my arm was from Lake Powell.

I've heard stories about crawdads in Jordanelle but I've never actually seen one in there so I was pretty excited.

Pretty cool. Hopefully their population gets big enough to help supplement the food supply maybe get the smallie size up. We fished up there sunday as well but did not do as good as a few weeks ago, must have had some bad mojo.
