On the lake at Bullfrog 11:30am Friday. Went over to the dome just past the marina and did not graph much so we were off to Moki. Went just inside the entrance but had to stay on the north side as the south side wall was full of other boats. We were a few hundred yards inside the entrance to Moki, threw out the chum and picked up a few but the action got better the closer we got to the channel. Ran into Bassman and he had done real well there the day earlier. Did not even have to chum and we were picking up 2 to 5 lb stripers every 10 minutes or so. Action died off about 3 so we ran down to the entrance of Halls and nothing going on. Turned around and found a campsite for the weekend just across from Moki.

Sat. am headed for the Rincon and found some LMB activity on the west side around mile marker 77B. This is the area where there are newly covered rocks so be careful. We managed about 6 small ones and sent them back to grow up. Action died off quickly so we ran down to the Escalante. Absolutely nothing in the Escalante. Headed back up lake at full throttle and ran smack through a nice size boil at marker 71, mid channel. By the time we slowed down they were gone but then came back up a few minutes later as a slurp. Chased them for awhile and pulled out some nice 2 pounders (Fat and healthy). Continued back up lake and ran into several more slurps and one small boil in the channel as you approach the Rincon. Nothing more until we go up to Halls between 90 and 92 and ten we fished slurps for an hour from 1 to 2 pm. Everyone we caught was 2 to 3 lbs but "fat".

From there back up to Moki where the south wall was now open. Ran into Bassman again and he was pulling them out like no tomorrow right at the entrance. I had to remind him that he did not have "exclusive rights" to all the stripers in the lake :-). He offered to share his spot with us but we moved about 200 yards further into Moki and caught a bunch there along the wall.

Sunday we wanted to go after more LMB so we headed to the top of Halls. Fished the weeds and the trees and we could not buy a strike. Threw every lure I had and nothing. I think we got there to late (8am). Went back to wall at Halls and instantly hit a slurp that we fished for an hour. The slurp stayed against the wall for 3 miles heading downlake and we threw Wallylures and grubs at them for an hour and only had 2 hits. Most interesting slurp I've ever seen. They would rise every minute and continued to move south so we were on top of them the entire time but they just were not interested in what we threw them.

Had to leave at 12:30 but we filled our coolers and had a great time.
