John and I Hit Utah Lake from about 2:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. Launched at Provo Boat Harbor and headed to my new favorite bass spot, but was sorely disappointed to find another bass boat had already beat us to it. This spot is only big enough for one boat so we basically waited in line to fish it. Not sure if the boat before us scared everything out of there or not, but all we caught was one nice bluegill and no bass.
At about 4:30 we cruised over to Lincoln Beach to try our luck for walleye. It was a perfectly calm evening and there were only 3 other boats fishing near the “L”. The smog and inversion were in full affect looking back towards Mount Timp.
We casted curly tail grubs in assorted colors and also drifted them as I slow trolled with the electric motor. John tried a few different crankbaits, but neither of us persuaded anything to bite. We didn’t see the other two boats land any fish either.
It was fairly cold so we made the journey back to Provo Boat Harbor just as the sun began to go down. As usual the first walleye trip of the year at Utah Lake produced nothing but heartache. I’m sure that won’t stop me from getting out and trying again!
