We were down at Bullfrog May 18-21 and had the best fishing trip we've had in 20 years of coming down. We started Friday night at the dome rock in Bullfrog Bay and caught around 35 stripers all about 1 pound, but they made excellent fillets. Saturday morning we decided to go down to Lake Canyon. The fishing started slow but picked up around 10:00. We fished until 2:00, and went in ahead of a squall that was headed our way.

We fished the dome rock again that night until 12:00. We finished the day with 50 some fish, all stripers and a few smallies and cats. Sunday morning we went into Moki. We didn't fish the wall as there was to much boat traffic and wind. We went in to the first small canyon on the left. There is a large dishout in the wall and the stripers were everywhere. I cut up 2 bags of chovies and chummed them. The action was then non-stop from 9:00-1:00.

There were five of us fishing in the boat, and several times we had 5 fish on at one time. The fish ranged anywhere from 1 pound to 5-6 pounds. We all were fishing with chovies cut into thirds. We were using a weighted jighead tipped with chovie. The trick was to drop it just until it was out of sight then another couple feet, around 15-18 feet. Then set the bail and instantly had either a hit, or a fish. We had to leave as the heat got to crazy, we had a total of 89 fish and a lot of filleting to do.

I have to say that this was one of the most memorable fishing trips I've had, being with my dad, and older gentleman who I consider to be like a grandfather, one of my good friends, and my stepsons first trip to the lake, this is the stuff that makes memories. Wayne, I have attached some pictures and hope you will post them. I also want to thank you for all you do for the incredible fishery that has been created here at Lake Powell. Good fishing to all. Thanks.
