Lots of boats launched Sunday. Twice as many as Saturday, during the tournament. Most of them stayed around the "L". It was pretty crazy. I left and got away from everyone and pulled jigs behind a side planer. Put my jigs in 5' and kept the boat out in six feet. Had a big eye pull a board under and bite my line off. He took six inches of line. Caught one 20" eye and had two others on. Boards are a pain in the,,,,,when you're fishing by yourself. But they do work well.
You guys should try boards along the dikes at Willard. With jigs. NOW!! During pre-spawn. I couldn't get a hit by casting up into the rocks and working my jigs back to me. Something about a jig moving parallel to the rocks. And you can cover water and throw bouys when you get bit. Then go back and work the area by casting.
Back to Utah Lake. Water temp got up to 44 for a while. The trollers got a couple nice eyes. One of my friends got a 8.3 pounder on a firetiger Thin Fin. Most folks still got skunked. Another three degrees and the spawn should be in full swing. Probably next weekend if the weather stays stable.
