Went to Utah Lake on Monday evening. Tried to target cats and white bass during our very short time on the lake. Fished from boat close to the shore line. White bass were plentiful. Some were quite small and others were the largest we've caught this year. We could not reach the cats because of cannibalistic white bass biting anything we would put in the water (including bare hooks).
We ended up with one catfish and lots of white bass, which we either returned to the lake or used for cut-bait. My wife would even dip her pole in the water next to the boat and pull it out with a fish on. Told her it was like those kid fishing games at Halloween time where you place your pole over a wall and then pull it back with candy on it.
Next time we'll have to wander away from shore to find the cats but we had a lot of fun catching fish with every cast.
