Who Went: Dunc
I heard about a
canal in West Valley City not far from my work that held largemouth bass so I
wanted to go check it out. Upon arrival
I first noticed that the canal was very shallow at around one foot deep. It also had a moss covered bottom so that didn’t
leave a lot of water column to work with.
I first tried
casting a jig and trailer, but it was to mossy to be affective. I tied on a curly tailed grub and that
started getting bites, but for whatever reason they kept nipping at the tail
and I wasn’t hooking up.
Finally, I tied
on a mepp’s spinner and that was the ticket.
I immediately started hooking up, but it wasn’t largemouth I was
catching, it was white bass. For the
next half hour I consistently got bit and had a lot of fun. I never did catch a largemouth though and I’d
like to go back and give it another shot.
