Just a quick report on my trip to Utah Lake last Friday night.
Got there about 6:30 P.M. There was a slight breeze from the south. Had my little bro with me. He has a 2 pole permit and was using two poles. We went to the bubble-up again, and walked out on the pipe. I caught two small bullheads off of worms, and he caught 1 more. After about 45 minutes, the wind shifted directions as the storm front approached from the west. Within a couple of minutes the front hit us and the west wind went from like 10 mph to more like 35. With 1 min. the waves were crashing over the pipe. That and the lightning drove us out of there pretty quick! We drove south on Geneva Road to the Provo River, and I snagged myself a 6 lb. carp because I needed some bait for the next trip. I filleted him up and froze him for next time. Maybe I'll try cutting some of it into strips like TubeDude has described, and sweeten up some jigs or something.
Anyway, maybe I'll actually be able to be on the water for more than an hour one of these days, if these afternoon thunderstorms would go away!
