A Lincoln report

[MSM1970]

I went out to Mulberry yesterday to try for a couple of white bass for todays cat trip. Good to see the pair of ospreys have taken up residency again in their old nest atop of the power pole along the road. It took me 45 minutes to rassle three wb to the bait box. They seem be there and thinking of love but not fast and furious ketchen' yet. When I drove back toward the orchard the male osprey was just coming home with a wb in his talons... could have sworn he gave me an "amateurish" look as I drove by.
 
Arrived at Lincoln about 7-ish today and left a little after 10:00. Water temp was 58 and warmed to 60 when I left. No wind but the heavy waves were still rocking the tub from last nights north winds. The water was chocolate colored. I saw very little carp activity any where. The "flow" from BS inlet was only knee-high to the pelicans grouped there. Not good.

I made a quick run over to Provo Bay looking for calmer seas -- no luck. Headed back toward BS and was just starting to build up my speed when I hit some kind of object that was unseen and just under the five foot deep surface of the water. The boat did not make contact but the prop did; scared the aa... a.., well it really scared me. Prop was slightly disfigured but fixable with a few good whacks when i got home. Also saw an abandoned or run-away boat wedged in the reeds on the south side of the bay toward SF inlet. Hope the owner finds it.

The fishing: It was somewhere between poor and slow. I managed to ketch four, a couple near 27", and had a couple of misses. Bites were half-hearted and not representative of the usual May/June bite. Still, a good day with a promise of better days to come.

One more week...........

Glad to see your starting to get out there more,  you probably hit that big cat in the head with with your prop.  was out last Saturday found the WB but the the cats didnt want to play,  its been tough after easter, try tonight to see what might happen.

Your gona have to look for white ranger 1780 and not the blue and white bayliner,  did a upgrade and so far I love it, except on the 15th of every month.

Nice! Hope you continue to offset the payments with some great walleyes. Will be watching for you but I'll still be in my grungy old Tracker. Only the super rich can afford new boats.

I know thats why I found a good used one, hard to find white ones,   mostly wanted to up grade to a 4 stroke,  the rest come with it, not complaining tho,
