On the fishing side of things, it was as good as it always is at Lake Powell. Boils/slurps/frenzies were common and we were able to pull up to four fish from them before putting them down for good. I absolutely love the striper game at Lake Powell and they taste as good as they are fun to catch. That being said, I am not a fish eater nor would I ever order it over a rib eye, but these guys taste good. Between stalking carp, chasing stripers and tending to the requirements of a barfing family, it was an awesome trip! If everyone gets sick throughout the week and has still had a good time at the end, that is truly saying something about Lake Powell. Of course there were always "Barbie" and "Cars" rods rigged and reeling in carp as well. Between the Carp, Stripers, Catfish, Smallmouth, Largemouth, and Sunfish we kept busy!
Lots of different fish there, Targhee; that's pretty cool. Hope your family feels better.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr P. Every thing is back to normal.
DeleteNice to see all of that! I too hope the best for all of you, esp. those precious kids.

Thanks Gregg. Luckily only our 2 yr old got sick. We were ready to pack and go as soon as our 8 month old barfed, but she never did! Ship shape now!

ReplyDeleteWe slip right across from you and it was just awful to see what you all were going through when you came back in early.
Really glad to hear you're all feeling better.
The fishing wasn't bad, but that doesn't really count when you feel like crap.
Again, it was good to meet some of your party, and so sorry your trip ended the way it did.
Thanks Brian. There were a few in our group that only stayed a few days and went home healthy for school, only to get sick the next day. The rest of us were there for the full week. The trip actually ended good with everybody healthy and tired.
