Bob Reed Trip

[wayne gustaveson]

Bob ran uplake and back on his jet ski last Friday. He stopped a few places to search for fish. He found striper schools down at 70 feet. He tried a large 8-inch spoon and caught a fish and hooked others on his regular copper colored spoon. All stripers were caught at 70 feet. The smallmouth was caught at 40 feet on a hula grub. The big walleye was north of the Horn (Near Trachyte). Yes he ran from Wahweap to the north end of Lake Powell and back in one day on a jet ski. Yes he is super man!

On a SeaDoo, alone, fishing Lake Powell. Only better in a boat, with a dog.

He must have some good, warm, clothing. Brrr.

 

[Keith Stockman]

He had to be cold as a toad!

Wayne, why are you posting Reed's reports? This is "our" Reed right?

Yes it is Reed and I posted his pictures so he could drive home and warm up. Just wanted to show those fat fish found lakewide: Wayne

It was a great trip. I share my reports with Wayne. Great to catch fat stripers. Water was a consistent 54 degrees the entire lake. I think the fishing will only improve as winter moves along. I only wish I could call them in like Wayne does...

Reed, keep up the great work !! We all love your reports. Most of us reading your updates are just not as brave, or fanatic as you. Thanks, Sq

Another day at the “office” for Ironman Bob, awesome!

Man, I'm not sure even a WARM boat would be enough for me anymore, after working outside most of my life and going to the lake in the old days, several times in the Winter and every other month, I'll go when I can swim...

 

[botnb]

Bob, you got more adventure in you than I have . Good on you !!

You don't see many boat's this time of the year on Powell, let alone jet ski's. But weather is much more predictable in the winter, a lot more glassy water day's.

I have not seen such nice fat fillets in a long time.

You cleaned those fillets up incredibly well. You have learned so much about Lake Powell fishing in such a short time. Very Proud of you, Sir!

Love to see people's passion for fishing! Specifically how Lake Powell can pull you in like a magnet and transform a human being into doing something others would call 'dangerous' all in pursuit of something you love. It's all about perspective and relativity, we have too many safety nets these days. Great for you Bob looks like another beautiful day @ Lake Powell, thank you for sharing.

Those Seadoos haul buns, the day we went with him I saw 50MPH. I just don't know how he does it in the winter, I'd freeze them off.
