Hey ES...
The bass are ALWAYS close to shore at Utah Lake no matter what time of day. Most of the time anyways...LOL...just flip that jig right up next to them rocks...I'm talkin' inches away, and then work it back. What would I do if I was going?...Hmmmm, I'm not sure...hold on...let me check the weather forecast for up there...LoL...whoa son...a high of 87 huh? Looks like you guys finally started hittin' summer up there too...LOL. If I was going, I would DEFINITELY have that jig-n-pig combo ready to go! May has always been prime time for me with jigs on Utah Lake. You may even have some fish up and spawning. Here's what I would have rigged up...1) Jig-n-pig 2) Senko 3) Crankbait...preferably something with a wide wobble and chartreuse in it... 4) Spinnerbait...I'm a big fan of a 3/8oz white spinnerbait w/ a big 4-5" red twintail grub for the trailer. 5) Blk/Blu pastic crawdad...I'm a huge fan of the crawdads made by Lake Fork Tackle...caught some bruiser-sized largie last spring at Utah Lake with their Blue Bruiser colored craws.
Also, if you're heading there that early in the morning...heck, I would even give a buzzbait a shot just for fun. One of the first bass I ever caught out of Utah Lake was a warm day the first week of April on a buzzbait!! Weighed about 5.75lbs too!
Anywho...that's what I would do...you guys should probably just be able to go around lindon and fish the banks and catch fish all day long. Good luck and I'll be lookin' for a report from ya on the Utah board!
