R&R at Utah Lake

Location: Utah Lake at the old Provo inlet

Best Bait: Chartreuse Spinnerbait

Who Went: Devin, Dayton, Dunc

With the incredible fall weather continuing we decided to take a break from weekend golf and get the boat on the water.  We kept it close and headed to Utah Lake in search of a northern pike.  The lake was glass and the weather was incredible.  We tied on an assortment of glide baits, swim baits, and spinnerbaits and went to work.

Unfortunately the pike didn’t want to play today.  We spoke with many other fisherman that reported the same success.  After a couple hours the boys lost interest with fishing and moved to their phones to follow NFL games and fantasy football.  

I grabbed the spinnerbait rod and continued casting and enjoying the great weather.  It was cool watching the jets come in right over our heads as they landed at the airport only a few hundred yards away from us. 

After hours of casting I finally connected on what I thought was a pike, but was surprised when I pulled in a chunky little largemouth bass!  

Either way it took the skunk off before we packed it up and went home.  I think even the boys enjoyed a day on the lake to switch up from our current obsession with golf!
