We headed down to lake Powell about 4:00am and was at the check station by 8:00.. The lake is LOW real LOW, they have two launch ramps the main one at Bullfrog is very low and a LONG walk to the top and harder to launch out of..
We headed up lake we wanted to check out Whites canyon and the others up that way, well you can't get to Whites by way of the water..
The first pictures are just after the big bend as you look toward Whites we are setting in about 2' of water with the river flowing past..
We was going to camp up this way but headed back down lake to Good hope..Fishing for LM or SM bass was slow at first or should I say finding them..Walleye seemed to be all over and we got lots of them when we tried Stripers was the same in some areas (backs of any canyon) we looked in, we had heard that the fish was in poor shape but we found them to be in good shape and we seen shad all over in about every canyon we went in..
The first night was cool with no tent and just sleeping on the open bass boat..
The next morning was looking better as we woke to fish jumping in the cove we was in, yep Stripers and eyes..
We found the bass as well both LM & SM with more Walleyes mixed in..
In about two to three hr. we boated over 40 Stripers and ten eyes in one morning..We headed back to Bullfrog for this night and to get ready for a BASS Tournament on Saturday..We hoped we was going to do better then we ended up but like it is in fishing the fish we hoped to catch we just couldn't get to bite..
In the four days we spent fishing we boated over 80 Stripers 20 Walleyes and 9 LM & 30+ SM bass, the Stripers went from 13" up to 21 1/2" most was 4# up to 8# the Eyes was from about 2# up to 6.9# the bass went from 10" up to 4.6# All bass was released to get bigger the Stripers was all used and some was gave away (about 30 or 40) we kepted 16 walleye the rest was let go for other trips..
