[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2][#002850] Fished Willard Bay with ScottieB today. To get to the point, we got skunked! Actually for the reports I have been reading lately, I didn’t expect much more. I think fishing Bear Lake might have been a bit more productive.
We launched at 8:45 and got off the water at 2:30. We trolled slow (1.8 – 2.2 mph). We anchored up on the east side and tried casting and slow retrieving worm-tipped lures. We even tried some jigging. We used a wide variety of cranks and some curly tail jigs in white and chartreuse.
Water was about 48-49 degrees and the wind made the water a little choppy early on but smoothed out around noon.
As I often say, “even on the slowest days, I always learn something”. What did I learn today? … That I love that new Pro-Cure bait scent that I got at the expo. Man, that stuff stays on a long time and smells strong! Every lure I put back in my tackle box still had goop on it. I just hope it doesn’t dull the finish of my lures.
I also learnt that those new BFT flags work quite well. We seen a boat with one flying so we scooted over to it. It was FenceKid and his partner. Good to meet you guys for the first time.
Since it worked for us to see them, we decided to put our flag up … sure enough, Petety4life came over and said hi. Petty, who was that with you?
