Water Temp: 64+ AF Harbor depth: 8ft LBH: 8ft Toga: 6ft Pumphouse: 10ft Largemouth are spawning right now and they are locked down pretty tight. You have to put the bait on their face. Texas rigged 6" senkos & jigs seemed to work the best. My biggest fish came on a spinnerbait “Slow-rolled” on a shallow flat. Caught these fish Thursday& Friday afternoon. The white bass are running right now too. The inlets all have tons of fish in them! ---

Nice fish! congratulations are in order. When I see pic’s like that and think about the posts you and others like tubedude place here, I realize what a wonderful fishery Utah lake could be (and is) if it were not for the fact that the June Sucker rehabilitation project prevents planting of bass and walleye or even forage base for the existing population. I live on the west side of Spanish Fork and am very close to Lincoln beach, minutes away, but I seldom go to the lake opting to burn fuel in search of far away fisheries when I could be there in minutes taking advantage of what is there. Thanks to all of you guys and your posts. I realize that THE lake is more than a carp factory. Thanks ---

Nice report. I was scared to open this thread with that title. Thought it might be some voyeuristic adventure.😲 ---

Nice, the Utah Bowfishing Association is hosting a bowfishing tournament tomorrow at Utah Lake for carp. There should be some “whackage” of the archery variety in a serious way. Hope to have some good pictures and video. ---
