Lake Powell Fishing, Winter Striper Action and Camp, Part 1

First fishing/camping trip of 2020 (Part 1) and we had a window of decent weather right before a front was about to move through. Taking advantage of the 'milder' weather we decided to do a two day trip and camp.
Looking for Striper action and hopefully a repeat of the December trip, we headed up lake to graph the back of canyons looking for the schools. We eventually found the school laying close to the bottom and initially we got strikes on jerk baits while trolling but that soon stopped and we moved to spooning which provided excellent results. We had to move constantly since the school would break and reform and would move from depths of 50 to 25ft.
The Striper we caught were fat and healthy and didn't seem to have the same intensity as they did on the December trip. The water was seven degrees cooler now than the previous December trip, it never got above 50F. Perhaps the fish really didn't care and were striking the spoons out of instinct and not hunger. Who knows...that's fishing for you.
Camp was cold, forecast said lows just above freezing..however it did dip below freezing though not by much. It was our first boat camping in such weather so I was a little concerned about possible freezing/damage to my lower unit but I kept the lower unit submerged and I rigged a towel over the motors piss hole to (hopefully) prevent it freezing. The sun drops quick in the canyons. Stay tuned for Part 2!
