Title: 2017 Lake Powell Trip - Highlights
Post by: OneBlade on April 30, 2017, 04:12 PM
Hey Lake Powell crew, so how's things up there on your first day out?  Curious how much further on water it is from Bullfrog to our normal fishing spots.  2-3 miles extra?  I'm not bringing an extra tank of gas to keep on the boat - I assume that's not needed.

Boat parking near hotel room - how close is outlet?  How close is boat so I can keep track of thieves?

Timbo and I plan on leaving west valley 8am on Tuesday.  If you need us to bring up anything let me know.  I am bringing a craigslist special freezer.  Most likely will only have a couple small ziplocks of fish in it so hotel crew can use it as well if they need to.

This thread can also be used to post a picture or two (no FishMan, not everyone is on Facebook).

Maybe an extra 2 minute boat ride. Parking is ok. Outlets every where. If there's a parking spot with an extension cord going to it that means it's taken.

I'll give you a bag or 2 but can't guarantee it's cleaned how you'd want it. Remind me next time we meet up.
