Willard Bay trip # 12 OOC

[Tin-Can]

Figured maybe Willard would not be quite so crowded early this morning. Got to the south marina just barely light enough to see the docks. One other rig arrived maybe a few minutes before me. By the time I got my boat ready for  the water and backed down the ramp, was just ALMOST dawn, but light enough to see calm water. 



Rigged up 2 poles same as Saturday. Ah heck, why not ?  Worked pretty good then.  Besides, didn't take any bait 
Made a quick transit out to the feed lot area, not another boat withing sight or sound range.........Oh goodie...... a peaceful day, maybe. 
Well it was, except for pretty heavy swarm of midges that just seemed to come up out of nowhere......

 


Set my lines out and started a slow random amble toward Freeway Bay.  Had a couple pop and drops in first 15 minutes on the fire tiger trap. 
Just shy of an hour after setting out the lines, got a good solid drag stripping hit.  Nice dinner size Cat with all 3 hooks on front treble stuck in it's mouth. 



And that was all she wrote folks. Not a repeat of Saturday, but not a skunk.  Headed in about 1030-1100, temp was getting hot and bugs were getting worse, plus had some business to take care of this later afternoon.  Saw wiperhunter2 just shoving off of the dock as I was coming in.  
Cleaned my one consolation catch and headed home. Fresh kitty for dinner tonight.
