@chovycaptian,
Sir, I am heading back to bullfrog today. I will post a report on Saturday on how I did. Two weeks ago both Halls and bullfrog were on fire.

Havalina,
That would be great, and good luck!!!

I just got back. Wednesday and Thursday one fish only the entire day. In act of desperation I went all the way down to Escalante and finally found them. I caught twelve going over the points in the channel. I went south from Moqui to Escalante and only charted one small school the entire trip.
The water temp was 46.3 at bull frog and 50.3 down at Escalante. If you hit Escalante give the islands a go. You can see my loops and all my fish came from there.

Fat fish! Glad you found some and didn’t get rained on! Thanks for the report.

Hav,
I’m guessing you trolled your fish? Any certain depth and did you try north at all? Thanks

 

[Havalina]

Yes, I was looking for schools to try jigging. I went as far north as the first canyon past moqui. I talked to three boats and no one was catching or marking anything. The reason I took the pictures was I didn’t want to be accused of fish tales.

try 40-60 ft deep, anything white, 2-3 mph and go over the points in the channels or canyons.

good luck

Given the healthy (fat gut) condition of those fish, I don't think you have to worry about any one accusing you of telling tales. Some of the healthiest stripers I have ever seen in Powell. Wish I could get up there tomorrow. Thanks for sharing and for the pics.

They were work this time. Two weeks ago, I was spoiled. They were all over Bullfrog and Halls. At one point, I thought I heard one ask if he could jump in the boat with me.

I was in bullfrog a week ago.
I trolled from the ridge just north of the Halls buoy field to the gravel bar at the end of bullfrog, and all the way back, and only marked two fish on my finder.
I caught {snagged in the dorsal fin} one carp. That was it for the trip

I feel your pain. My second day I spent 7 hrs working Halls, thinking that the bite would turn on. It never did. I actually struck out in Halls and Bullfrog on the first day. I almost felt like I was at Willard minus the flies. I hope Chovycaptian finds them this week.
