Fishing was spotty at best but we had plenty of hits and hook ups. We lost a number of fish at the boat and by break offs. We were trying a new line by Berkley for our leader, don't use Vanish, we lost numerous hooks and fish. We found one pocket of fish that was red hot for about an hour or so, Jimmy deemed it the Bermuda Triangle, every time we went into the area the radio died and we would catch fish. I think we also had a lot of false hits.
The water was a mess with recreation boaters. One thing for sure the laws of boating have no meaning in the state of Utah we had people literally within 15 feet of our boat at full speed, the DNR was of course nowhere to be found except at the dock sitting in there A/C truck. Okay off the rant. We should have had a limit on board by 10:30 if we could have landed all that we hooked up. We finally got 8 to the boat and kept 5 in the well 2 were gilled and couldn't be returned.
Jim and Parker were having fun jumping back and forth between the poles in the back and I was running a single line out of the front. The fish were hitting rainbow most consistently, but also brass/red with black dots on it. JoD's were not as hot today but got some early hits on it. The fish are deep and right on the drop offs, you need to use your electronics to your advantage this time of year. Nothing big was caught, a couple 18' rainbow were landed. We had a good day but it is time to find somewhere with less traffic until the summer cools off to fall.
