It has been the windiest spring and summer I can ever remember.  My yard proves it with multiple large limbs cracking and falling this year.  It’s cost a fortune to keep up on it.  Anyway, we got sick of waiting out the wind and ran down to Utah Lake after rumors of northern pike being caught at the mouth of the Provo River.  We weren’t the only ones that heard the rumors, and the shorelines were shoulder to shoulder.  We switched to plan B and moved over to the harbor to play with the kitty cats.  It didn’t take long until we found the bullheads.  The kids had fun and practiced their bait casting skills while waiting in between bites.

Right at the end of the night Bobber John’s bobber torpedoed under the water and the fight was on.  The rod was handed to his boy Anthony, and he battled the big kitty for a good 5 minutes.  It was the only Channel Catfish of the night and the fish of the day.  Despite the awful wind it was a fun trip and good to get the kids out.
