Lindon with Lee 8-11-21 - TubeDude - 08-11-2021 Met up with fellow tuber Lee at Lindon this morning. We had put in a reservation for the "No Smoking" section but the order did not get through. Not as bad as it has been but still yucky. Launched a bit after 6:30. Air temp a pleasant 60 degrees...warming to 84 at noon departure. Water temp 72 t0 75. Clarity not too bad but too much green...borderline algae bloom. Water depth in the harbor a marginal 2'. They better get those big boats out of the slips and loaded on trailers while they still can. ![]() Didn't even try fishing before I got to the bubbleup. But, as on my last trip there my first cast was smacked by a hungry whitie. Game on. Actually, they were kinda sparse for a while. Got one here and one there. Then I found where the party was and it was non-stop for the next hour. Several doubles. Got a few footlongs too. When I had enough for my bait and fish fry needs I hollered on Lee to come take over the action...and he did. He stayed on them quite a while and didn't spend much time chasing kitties. ![]() ![]() ![]() I motored out to about 4' of water...probably over 1/4 mile from shore. Put out a minnow on one rod and a chunk of white bass on a blue back silver flig on the other. Had to make some S turns from 3' to almost 5' deep and eventually starting getting some whiskery tugs. Nothing of much size. Most were 2-footers with a few another inch or so longer. But plenty of fun. About equal on minnows and white bass decorated fligs. Before heading in at 11:30 I had exercised about a dozen kitties. Fun fun. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lee headed in early. Not sure how he did on cats. Interestingly, there were 3 guys that had walked out on the exposed bubbleup pipe and were fishing in fairly shallow water. They had a hot school of white bass going for a while and brought in quite a few until it died. ![]() Saw a couple of bank tanglers around the outside of the dikes but didn't see them catch anything. Depth was less than 2' for a long way out so I doubt there was much potential. Didn't see any boats go out of Lindon today. And only saw 1 boat and a couple of jet skis that looked like they may have launched at American Fork. ![]() RE: Lindon with Lee 8-11-21 - ELM 71 - 08-11-2021 It was a good day for sure and thanks for sharing your spot. I have not caught that many white bass in a while. Sure was fun. Kept a few for bait and the rest will be cooked up later today. ![]() all but one of these guys took a red/chartruse wobble whirly jig and the other one took a chunk of cherry chicken RE: Lindon with Lee 8-11-21 - TubeDude - 08-12-2021 (08-11-2021, 10:54 PM)lee!

Some were tipped with piece of worm but most were just bare. Loved it RE: Lindon with Lee 8-11-21 - SkunkedAgain - 08-12-2021 Fun times, congrats you guys... Jeff |
