[#0000FF]On Utah Lake it is really not too hard to figure out the cold water cats. They tend to show up in several different areas but are spread out...so you have to move around and try different depths to find them on any given day. That can change from day to day or even during the same day...as temps warm or cool during the transition periods.
You also have to have several different baits to try as their preferred provender also changes often. Funny how most of what you catch are females.
I know I would have done much better yesterday if I had been in my tube. Fishing from a boat greatly limits the amount of area to be covered, my S-turn prospecting technique and completely eliminates my "baitrigger" rod setup. Much harder to watch the bites and finesse the fish. I don't miss many opportunities when tubing. Any boater who invites me to fish with them has to listen to a lot of whimpering about tubing.
