JB Spilker Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 My local lake of choice for Utah is Sand Hollow Reservoir. Just out there recently with my wife, and she caught her first "all be herself" bass. It was a really good time. I also did really well on a swim jig! I've never used them much before, but now I'm sold! The bass were really schooled up in the transition areas on a weed line drop off from 12 - 20ft. We found a hole and we crushed them! Always love to catch those sweet Largemouth. JB Spilker Quote
shimmy Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Sounds fun. I used to fish Sand Hollow a lot. There are more 7 pounders getting caught out of there than ever. Only a matter of time till this lake produces the state record. There are so many 5+ pound bass in that reservoir. Problem is there are always a ton of boats out there. We have had several 25+ pound bags out there. Never used the swim jig though but sounds like it would be great. Congrats to the wife. I still have footage of when my wife stuck a 7 pounder on Quail Creek. Those are great bass. Keep it up! Quote
JB Spilker Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 Awesome to hear about your success at Sand Hollow! How does guy from VA no about this place? Did you live in utah for a stint? Quote
shimmy Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I did! I played football at BYU and served my time out west and then me and the wifey moved out east for graduate school. We only were able to hit Sand Hollow a handful of times each year but almost always had success. Here is a guy i have kept in touch with for a bit who just destroys them out on Quail and Sand Hollow. Watch his videos and see if you can pick up on some of the spots. He's a great guy but sticks more 7's and 8's out there than anyone else i know. PM him, he will give you great advice and maybe even take you out if you get lucky. http://www.youtube.com/user/brettrtrophyhunter Here is another video with my uncle fishing with the Hooked on Utah crew. Using the rapala crank, they have good footage of hooking into a 7 and a half pounder. Fun series if you get the time to watch. Quote
JB Spilker Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 That is exciting and gets the juices flowing! Stoked on it! Southern Utah Bass fishing rocks! Quote
