Utah Lake Trip #2

[catchinon]

I met Kentofnsl in Spanish Fork early to pick up something from him and then went home to finish getting ready while he and his grandson went to ULSP in Provo to launch. I got to fishing just outside Lincoln Harbor a little after 9. The water was 58°. I strolled on a line toward the big Y on the mountain/Mud Bay/Sandy Beach/mouth of Spanish Fork River. I kept in 9.6-9.9 fow. I caught a 24.5 about 10:30 and a little later an 18.5. Kent reported he hadn't had any luck at three places he tried and then went to the island where he still wasn't catching anything. I turned around and trolled back in slightly shallower water. Nothing.  Later in the afternoon I passed the jaws and continued past the springs and around to the orchards. I finally picked up one more fish. This one offered quite a bit of fight; refused to come up; and pulled drag several times. Only turned out to be a 25"er, no bumper. I checked in with Kent and he had caught seven cats by early afternoon but he didn't mention any big ones. When I finally gave up at 5:00 the water temperature had risen to 62° but that didn't turn the fish on. I had gotten a few really strong bites that failed to result in hookups so I thought I was doing something wrong, but from your reports it sounds like the fish just weren't in the mood to get serious. I guess I'll give it a try again on Thursday, too.
