Well I've been on a few fishing trips in the past couple of days with nothing exciting to write about! The first one was April 20. I had just got my boat out of the shop, 277 dollars later, and wanted to get it on the water. I decided to take it to Jordanelle because there have been reports of some monster browns coming from there. I picked Hunt up around 5:50 am and we got to the lake before 7:00. It was a beautiful day and the water was like glass. We launched the boat and it fired right up. I picked Hunt up from the docks and got ready to take off when the boat died. After removing the cover to the engine we realized that the carburetor was pumping to much gas to the engine causing it to flood itself. GREAT!!! We decided to use the thruster and troll over to some of the closer coves next to the marina. I graphed around 2 fish all morning and I had one bite with no takers. Hunt didn't even get a bite. Just another day on the lake with my boat! FRUSTRATING!

April 22- Hunt just bought a brand new ski boat and was taking it to Utah Lake to test it out. I met him and his wife at the AF Boat Harbor and we went for a ride. We stopped at the Bubble Up and threw a jig for around a half hour with no bites. They dropped me off at the docks and I decided to take my truck over to the Bubble Up and wade out as far as I could and fish. Not a great idea because the lake this year is so high that I got off the shore about 20 feet before being chest deep. It wasn't even far enough to get past the reeds surrounding the lake. I tried to fish anyway and threw a drop-shot watermelon color senko rigged wacky style. I did this for about a half hour before giving up due to snagging every cast. I did get solicited for sex by an 80 year old man though when I got back to my truck. I told him to get out of town. it was gross! YUCK!!!

April 23- Don't ask me why but around 1:30 am I got a brilliant idea that if I fished Utah Lake in the dark that I might get into some Walleye. So at 5:30 am I went to AF Boat Harbor and waded out in the dark. I fished for about an hour with no bites until i realized that the fishing is just not going to get better at Utah Lake for awhile. I decided to give up on the Walleye and go fish inside the harbor and try to catch some of the elusive bass that supposedly live in Utah Lake that I have never caught. Didn't even get a bite! I tried drop-shotting, crankbaits, texas rigs, and nothing! I'm about ready to give up on Utah Lake for awhile. I need to try somewhere else to get gain a little confidence back.
