[quote Flash78][#4040ff]. . . some mentally challenged member of the "power squadron" came into to Lindon on plane all the way to the boat ramps. . . .[/#4040ff][/quote]
Noonish Saturday when I launched and puttered the harbor there was a group of kids swimming off the launch dock. Tried to swim to the private dock, then realized it was private and tried to swim back. One almost didn't make it - looked like a wounded minnow floating on her back, turning in all the wrong directions cuz she couldn't see which way she was going.
One of the PS crew hollered at them to get away from there - cuz of boats like that coming and going. Darwin at work!
Ok - so I went north and you went south. Hmmm. (plus you know what you're doing, where, how, and with what)
Actually had every intention of visiting the bubble up sat, but when my gas motor wouldn't crank - my trip got cut short. The wind and growing waves didn't help. Was trying to locate the river inlet to the north. Feller had pointed me that way before launch. And those reeds just looked promising.
Pat - I loved the imagery you painted from Da Knolls trip. A magic point there - kids on white bass, toss over a few fresh minnows - bang - catman-doo! Couple jigs to a b-tangler, and game on. He's a magic man, oh yeah!
Some day I'm dragging your HGS down for a touch of that magic!!!
But I think you made a mistake yesterday. Targeting Walleye? Aren't you the one who says Walleye are mostly caught when you're targeting OTHER species? lol
Thanks for another great post just to rub our noses in it and make us come back for more wishful thinking and masochistic punishment as we donate lure after lure to the great fish-gods below!
No - but seriously - you inspire and breath hope to us lesser-anglers. At least we know what the fish SHOULD look like!

Or maybe it's forming Greg Ooze into jig heads. Sounds more like something out of the D&D world.
