Willard Bay trip #6
#1
Took my first full retired day Friday and headed for WB South. Got there later than I wanted, but at least didn't run into the long entrance line that TD did a couple days prior. 
Was on the water heading out of south marina about 8:30.
Fairly calm, warm, very few bugs, and the few power boats on the water were staying away and well behaved, so far.

Last weekend I had gone to Sportsman's to replace some  lost tackle (given to the Bear River by TCM) and saw 4 new BL Rat-l-trap colors that I didn't own. So you just know they had to go in the basket. This Friday was expressly dedicated to getting those new lures wet. 

          [Image: 036-new-lure-3.jpg]  [Image: 029-new-2.jpg]  [Image: 028-new-1.jpg]     #4 Not used yet, not photoed
                      #3                                         #2                                           #1

  
 On the water, lines out with new lures #1 & #2 less than 30 min. Line with lure #1 bent over, line stripped out, then just went tight and I could visually confirm a walleye was "surfing"  out behind the boat.  Had just taken this screen shot at 9:04 a.m. when I had settled into the speed I wanted.  20 min. later had respectable walleye on the boat.

  Way point marked that area, and did several loops and zigzags  thru it.  No more joy there. 
 Moved about 200 yards east and exactly 1 hour later, a WB cookie cutter Cat also voted for that # 1 rat-l-trap. So far no interest paid to #2.

By 11:30 was getting quite hot, power squadron was spitting out from the marina like a pin-ball game. Called it a day, cleaned my 2 and headed home.
