2021 Willard Bay trip #3

[FatBiker]

Day started out okay. Weather was as forecast. Cloudy, but only 1% chance of rain. Winds calm but increasing in mid day.   

I got launched at south marina at about 9 a.m.  I was the only rig in the lot until just as I was heading out. 



 Info that may be of use to someone:  The south inlet baffles were open about 10-15%, so some new water is flowing in. 

 And so I wouldn't need to try and remember water temp and depth, I took a photo of that info, and wrote down the air temp in my truck when I pulled the rig into the parking space. 

Air temp was 42 at about 9:10  a.m.  winds were very calm. The water temp and depth at the end of the dock were......

          

  Water temp never got above 51 and that was in shallow 5-6 fow.  Wind stayed calm until about 11 a.m. then started gusting, and calming, until about 12:30. Then it was  getting steady and I had gotten plenty of skunk, so I called it a day.   Oh yeah, air temp was 62 and windy when I left.

  So I guess Larry (FatBiker) and I are tied with 2 each WB skunks so far............  I'm sure he will greatly improve his catch   rate, and probably sooner than me      .

It's a good thing to fill out your yearly Willard skunk quota in March. Once you get that out of the way, the fun begins. Weather is looking a bit better next week. I'll be out trying to get skunk #3 Monday or Tuesday.
