Taking off this Thursday for a much anticipated trip to Red Rock. We'll have most of the day Thursday and all day Friday and Saturday to fish. Looks like the weather will be warm...not sure if that's good or bad. I would rather see cooler water I think.
Has anyone been fishing Red Rock lately? I seldom see any posts about it. But then, I seldom see any posts about anything...:smile2:
I went fishing on Coralville yesterday for the first time since the tournament the weekend prior. We were only out for a couple of hours and caught 3 nice ones. Looked like filet/gut was the preferred bait but could only get on filet/gutter size in the upper res. Talked to a friend who fished a couple of times last week and the bite was a little slow for him as well. Nice sized fish, just fewer of them. I'm hoping as the water cools into the 50's, the fall bite might pick up a little.
On another note, the fall scenery is picking up nicely. It's hard to find a prettier scenic cruise than Coralville Lake in October. Leave your poles at home, take the wife or someone in your boat and cruise slowly down and back. Every bend has something new and pretty to look at.
Later all,
Mike.
