Well Bassords, thanks to your reports I managed get motived and got out to the nelle Saturday. Might've gotten into some of the same fish you were catching Friday too! Took my float tube out to the 'Nelle Saturday afternoon and fished the northeastern bit of the Rock Cliff area where all the submerged brush is from about 6pm until 9pm. Drop shotted primarily w/ smoke roboworms and small red wacky rigged senkos. Caught a number of decent perch, one chub (I think, have never caught one before), and a number of smallies. Maybe 5 perch, all bigger than I have ever caught here in Utah. First chub ever (12" or so) and about 7-8 smallies (biggest around 17-18" maybe).
But what made the trip great was that there were a number of firsts. First time float tubing the 'Nelle. First time seriously drop shotting. First Chub ever (although I know this isn't what most would consider an 'accomplishment'[
]). Biggest perch since I was a kid fishing in Minnesota. And with all those firsts, I still managed to have a fairly productive day and that is what turned it from a good to great trip.[cool]
