Utah Lake Ice Fishing Podcast

[TubeDude]

Got a call from Sam Braegger of the Utah Lake Commission.  He asked me to do a telephone podcast on ice fishing Utah Lake.  So I did.  HERE'S THE LINK

I listened and enjoyed it. Nice work. I have ice fished once in the pelican bay access and got a few white bass through the ice. If I could just figure out where I can find the walleye under the ice, I might give it another go this winter.

Glad ya liked it.  Hard to plan where to find walleyes.  As with most big flat structureless ponds, walleyes are constantly roaming...looking for groceries (small fish of other species).  So, as a general rule, if you can find where there are a lot of white bass there is a good chance that walleyes are nearby.

I have caught stray walleyes while jigging blade baits or other larger lures for white bass.  In the old days, a lot of us just spent all day jigging a hammered nickle spoon...catching all species on it...including walleye and even catfish.  Today I suspect that some jigging with a rattling crank might produce...under the right conditions.

Had a couple of reports about 4 or 5 years ago from a guy who was going out at night...a hundred yards or so off Lindon...and fishing glow big glow plastic twisters.  Saw some pics of some bodacious eyes.  But it only happened for a few nights and then he couldn't find them any more.

Have also heard that putting a 2" strip of white bass meat on a jigging spoon can get some action.

But, as always, first ya gotta find 'em.
