A good week!

Took Thursday off, vacay day, went fishing with my father-in-law and Parker.  Of course we hit Deer Creek and limited out on some nice Bows and caught a couple perch they are hitting more often now kinda fun.  It was absolute perfect day for me Jim drove and I fished without worrying about pattern or direction all day it was truly a perfect day for me! We spent the morning on the water and then headed home and smoked them over Pecan they are delicious.

Saturday went out again with Bob and got our limit he actually caught couple we had fun it was a great morning on both days.  The colors in the mountains are great if you haven't been out you need to get out take in the beauty!  Looking forward, hope to get out with Gary this week, if times and weather cooperate.

A morning on Deer Creek with Bob!

Start off with Parker and I did hit DC last week and caught a couple it just wasn't real productive for us and I had forgotten my license and didn't fish until about 10.  But it was still good to get out.

This weekend we got out earlier and took our friend Bob with us.  He hasn't been around much this summer so we haven't got out much together.  It was a good time on the pond.  We were off the water by noon, between launch and load we had a blast laughing, catching, and losing fish.  We limited but the last 3 took a while to find.  We were fishing a nice hole and then got run out by all the other boats coming in and taking over our spot...go figure.  We headed to another spot and finally got into the last of the days catches.  Bob being from the south was used to have to "SET" the hook each time he did he would lose the hit and it just got funnier as we went on.  There were some nice bows caught and a few perch, once again.  It was a beautiful day out and fun was had by all.  I videoed some of our trip with a flip camera enjoy, we DID!

Another fine morning on DC

Parker and I headed to Deer Creek Thursday morning for some easy fishing (trolling). We got on the water about 6:30 and hooked the first by 6:50, Parker got the first in the boat and was quite happy, it was small by the end of the day. We caught over 20 bows and one PERCH, first in many years especially trolling, but it was a blast. Parker was hooking up about every 20 minutes or so keeping only the larger of the fish we landed. We got off the water around 11:30 after our limit the last fish caught by Parker was in the 3 lb range he was quite excited as was I.

Pass Lake, Uintahs

Last weekend we went to the Uintahs and had a picnic. We stayed on the highway cause Sally doesn't like venturing off road too much, so we made our way up to Pass Lake on mirror Lake Highway. We got to Mirror Lake and pulled in to see it loaded with people and quite a bit cooler than we had planned. We went on to Pass Lake and found a place not to crowded still a bunch of people around the lake but still half way quiet. We broke out our KFC and sat and relaxed. I broke out my truck pole and threw a few lures got some hits but nothing that would hook up. It was nice get away by ourselves and relax and just take in some clean air. It was quite cool as you can see in the pics.

Good week!

This week I took off Thursday to go fishing. Got up late and hung out had breakfast seen Parker off to work and did a couple things. Took off with my tube and gear in the truck with really no specific area in mind, just started driving south. Went past SF turn off and kept going thought about Palisades and then looked to the East seen Payson Canyon. It had been a while since I ventured up that canyon. By the time I made the decision to go there I missed the first exit and went to the 2nd. Traveled up the canyon heading for Payson Lakes. Arrived around 11 am and got ready to go in the upper lake and talked to a couple locals up there and they talked me into going back down to the lower lake, good choice and advice. Got in the water and started with a Kastmaster with orange highlights and 2nd cast caught the first of what turned out to be many that afternoon. Nothing large mainly planters, kept none took a couple pics (just to prove i caught something, you know the rule no pic, no fish...lol). Stayed on the water for few hours and then got hungry and the fish turned off, changed up lures a few times and got nothing so I headed in. The girls camped showed and had lines in all over the lake, it was fun watching them catch their first fish of their lives!

Got up this morning and headed for Rockport Res. Parker and I got to the lake about 7:30 and had lines in by 8am had our first hit by 8:15 it was hit after hit but couldn't get them to hook up or they would and then the jumping bows would throw the hook. It was fun fighting them and watching them jump. We finally ended up boating 2 decent bows in the cooler. Fished until noon, and then it was like fighting gale wind forces with all the wake action from all the boats on the water so we headed in. We headed home after cleaning them, and stopped off in Oakley to eat at the Road Island Diner not bad, but go for something other than just burgers. We had burgers and they were okay but better choices on the menu for sure. The fish grilled up nicely this evening!
