Flotilla 2022

[Jig-fisher]

It was fun meeting everyone, thanks to everyone that put this together.  

I forgot to tell everyone about the big catch of the day.  I hooked some thing heavy, but it was like a dead weight.  I started reeling it in and noticed I had hooked some line.  As I got the lure near the boat, the other line got really heavy.  My lure was wrapped around a big egg sinker and a swivel on the other line, so I started pulling in the other line by hand.  As the end neared the boat, I could see that a rod and reel were attached to the line. Some poor person probably had a freight train of a wiper on the end of that line at some point and lost their rod on the bank.

The reel looks pretty new too, the person must have lost it recently. Good talking to you again today.

It was good seeing and talking to you too. I put it out on Facebook to see if anyone recently lost a rod setup.  So far no one has responded with the right description. I would gladly return it if they do.  The reel itself is not cheap.

Catching some money! Better than what I got, a good look at a walleye before it decided to say farewell... We'll have to go chase some monster cats sometime!

Too bad on the lost eye. You're the big cat king for sure. I'd like chasing some with you.

A very nice outing and day. I counted something like 35 people including a few who had to leave early.

Next year Utah Lake?

It was great. I also put a few new faces with old names. It was just plain fun, even if I didn't get any fish. Brett got a nice pair of wipers and now I know how to catch them. I will be back.

I, for one, would be happy to help host next year's flotilla at Utah Lake. Here's a thought: we could have it at Utah Lake State Park at Provo. It's a lovely facility and closer and easier to find for those coming from further north. Good camping is right there as are heated indoor bathrooms. There's a 7-11 just up the street, etc.  Just an idea.

I like the state park there, very nice facilities. If my schedule works out, I'd plan on being there.  Thanks Craig.
