The cowboy-pirate crew went to Utah Lake Friday to check out the cat/bass action. Cookie did some shore clean up at Lincoln in case we cant make the flotilla. Both Cookie and Buckwheat had action with cats and bass. Yukon however, did not. Buckwheat brought in a really nice cat on an ultralight with 4lbs test.
Water was mid 50 with a peak in the afternoon at 59, so close to 60. We hit a few different spots. Lincoln, Provo Harbor and Saratoga. Had action at all three spots. Tried all the normal techniques. No action on cut bait - odd. Nothing off a floating rig either. All our action was on Carolina rigs on the bottom and with worms. We did get hits on shrimp, but no hookups. Nothing on lures either.
Talked to a lot of people, seemed action was slow for everyone but it seemed everbody had a few hits and a few takers.
Here the the video of the cowboy-pirate adventure
