Had another disappointing day on Utah Lake. I thought the catfishing would be great after reading all the great reports, but I only got one mudcat and had a another one on for a minute. Tried from 4 until 10pm. The wind was blowing most of the day, which made it kinda tough. I tried a new spot..down closer to the Orchard area. It looked way good....nice and rocky...and a bunch of big catfish heads on the shore from another angler. I tried shrimp and worms, just what everyone says has been working. I tried a bobber set-up and also on the bottom. Here is my question.....most people were wading out that were fishing I think by the first spring area.....was I not deep enough? Also what is the best way to rig a bobber and how many feet up from the hook? A few yrs ago I caught 5 big channels in what I think was fairly shallow water in about 1 hr using the same set-up I tried today. Any suggestions?
