Hyrum 8/17

[Bubman1]

Took my son up to hyrum for some large mouths on Sunday got four or five 2 pounders not a terrible morning. We were on the water at 6 am and off by 11 a couple of surf boats showed up at 9 ish but we stuck it out as long as we could. Had a lot of prechy looking marks in deeper water but we didn't try for them. I also saw a dead sucker floating in the water 16/18" long I didn't know that they were in there.

Sounds good, hope that means the ice will be better this year... I did catch a 13" perch through the ice last winter at Hyrum... pretty sure that was a unicorn, but I was excited about it... Glad to hear there are some 8"ers, that means it should be getting better... hopefully... Just in time for the next drought to make it crash again.... Later Jeff

Thanks for the report, good to hear the perch are retuning, now if the size does too, that would be awesome. Were you vertical jigging for the perch?

[packfish]

1/16 oz jig. inch of worm. Cast and let it swing back.

Bummer on the perch but it sounds like the gills were on fire. Maybe the calm before the storm action. Were you using the same technique as before?

[packfish]

Basically the same but instead of fishing 6 ft of water it was 29 ft.Totally other end of the lake but the same technique .
