Pineview tiger report(utah) w/pics - lunkerhunter2 - 08-24-2008 After a year + of trying to meet up with Proline and get after some tigers, the stars finally aligned this morning. I picked him up at 5:30 at the mouth of the canyon to a very dark sky. I forgot how dark it is that early this time of year. We launched and headed to the P.H. to start the morning. After some quick tips and a little "we should hit one pretty quick" conversation, we started throwing buzzbaits to perfect conditions. As i had barely got the words of wisdom out of my mouth, Todd hooked up with a beautiful 38"er! Hell of a way to start the day! We fished down the south side a ways and ran out of depth so we boogied over to the narrows. Within 10 minutes i hooked up with a nice 28"er. Quick pic and a friendly splash to the face, and we kept pushing farther to the west. Not 10 minutes go by and i hook up a 26"er! This is panning out ot be an awesome day! We fished a ways farther and i missed a good fish. We stayed in the area for another 1/2 hour aqnd headed to N.F. Within 10 minutes of dropping the bowmount, i missed another smaller fish. This one was my fault, pulled it away from him. Another 20 minutes i missed another one. That time it was his fault. Todd hooked a fat 13" smallie shortly after. That was the end of the productivity for the day. The sun got too high in the sky and the frothers turned the lake into a mess. We left at about 1 pm. I have not fished up there much since June due to low success this year but i think i should have been hitting it hard the last few weeks. The water is down about 15' but there is still plenty of structure for the fish. Water temp was 70* at launch and 75* at take-off. I finally got my Minn Kota Powerdrive V2 wired last night just for this trip and i must say that it was a wise investment buying it. It works awesome! I just wish the driver knew what he was doing. All in good time though. It was great to finally meet Todd. He is a great guy to fish with. Thanks for the company Todd. We will absolutely hit it again next spring with the fly rods. Here are the pics off my camera. Todd has the good ones.

I have got to make it up there one of these years.[:p] [signature] Re: [tlspyder13] Pineview tiger report(utah) w/pics - lunkerhunter2 - 08-24-2008 Say when Richard.[] [signature]
