April Fishing

Once again I have been slacking off on updates.  Put the ice equipment away in March and have been out a couple times in April.  First trip was the opening run of the boat after getting it tuned by Doug and having mounted the trolling motor.  We went to Deer Creek and caught a couple bows.  Jim, Parker and myself went out that day.  The boat ran great and trolling motor did perfectly what we wanted it to.
Next I went out on a Thursday evening with Shifty to try our luck with Walleye's at Utah Lake.  We fished a couple hours his son Easton accompanied us on the trip, no fish were caught but it was a nice evening.
Went to Deer Creek this last Thursday evening with Shifty again and got into the Bows and had a blast stayed until night fall all in all we ended up with 21 fish a couple decent sized and lost the lure that was hot as fire to one of the biggest ones.  Had it in hand and was trying to remove the lure, a Dare Devil, and the fish lunged and I lost grip on it caught the line and it snapped and the fish hit the water running, so to say.  Great evening on the lake.
Parker and took the boat out Saturday and went Cattin' on UT lake.  We did end up catching a few Channel cats.  We moved around to different areas but the reeds were most productive again.  We went across the lake to Saratoga and that's where things went bad, broke the trolling motor off of its swing arm.  Need to find parts for it but may not be able to replace it due to it being out of date.  We ended up catching a nice 4 ponder in the reeds before venturing off to other areas.
