Well FB2 and I arrived at Powell around 10 pm friday evening. Set up camp (if thats what you call it) at the first RV camp ground. No power, no running water, but a really nice camp ground! Camping consisted of sleeping in the boat, cooking on the boat, and cleaning up in the rest rooms(no shower there).
Sat. morning we woke up to frost all over the boat and trucks windshield. Off to the lake we headed fished south of Bull frog. Hit all the canyons and coves clear down to Iceberg. Got back just before dark. No takers for me, not even a nibble. FB2 had one on for a few secconds and it did the long line release for him. Ditto for sunday, Monday weather went somewheres else. Got cold windy and rough on the water. We once again got skunked, beat up by heavy water and in general had a blast. CBR,Mikec,bassrods, BLM,fishnate, and (dang I forgot his name)were all there and fishin hard. I'll let them tell ya how it went for them. Well we went out again on tues. Ditto nada, nilch, nothing. Oh wait FB2 caught a nice little kitty (2.5 pounder) Channel Cat for those who don't catch kittys. Weather was much improved so we went night fishing Hoooray I caught a gaint rotting skelton of a striper around 2 in the morning. Other than that zilch was the tally for Lake Powell.
The lake is still beautiful low water and all. We had a great time fishin even if the catchin wasn't so hot. Planning my next trip already, think the wife may even want to come along on the next one.
