Fish and Scouts Go Together Down South!

I had a great time at Lake Powell for a few days this week assisting my Venture Scouts get into catching several species of fish every time we went out in the southern lake. Stripers, walleye, LM & SM bass along with catfish were caught aplenty but we just couldn't hook one of those frisky carp, dang it.
While I typically bank on Yamamoto watermelon grubs, the Gulp grub in white was much better by a long ways for all my fishermen along with trolling small Flicker Shad lures and DT 6 & 10's. The latter especially proved effective with the rising water level. I'd keep the boat in 12-15' of water as much as possible but on occasion the stripers would be over 25'. TW did produce a few early but mostly on the small side and while we did get into several packs of 10" stripers feeding on top one evening, they wanted a shallow jerkbait, not TW. The amount of walleye caught were especially surprising! Fish were caught mostly in Gunsight, West, and Middle Rock Creek Canyons.


Two negatives we experienced was a big houseboat sinking during the night just a few slips down from us on Dock B and 2 girls from different groups getting air evaced out from Dangling Rope Marina while we were there for lunch on Thursday. That'll ruin a trip!

(Sorry folks, had a number of pictures to post today and the site will not accept any of them for some reason)
