Saturday Whitefish Slaughter Fest at Bear Lake! -with pics

[BearLakeFishGuy]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]OK, I've been harping on this and explained many times that the time to catch whitefish on Bear Lake is now, not later..... N-O-W! Well, as promised here they are. It took all of 1.5 hours to catch 20 fish and then we caught and release a few more just looking for cutthroat. We could have caught cutthroat but my friend who drove up from SLC and wanted to be home by noon! Not a bad way to spend a Saturday morning. We fished the east side (any rocky areas is good, and I will not give away my specific spot) and the fish were thick! Yeah, it was only 5 above zero, the wind was swirling and the lake-effect snow was falling making ambient conditions pretty miserable, but the hot fishing more than made up for it. This is the cooler with our limit.

These are the two hearty boys that braved the cold temps, wind and snow on Saturday morning. By the time we got to my house at 10:00am the sun was out and the temp was a balmy 20 degrees!

These were the "weapons of doom" that slayed the fish. 1/8 oz, jigs with 1.5" tails fished on bottom in 8' of water [inline DSCF0178.JPG]
This isn't rocket science boys, just some plain 'ol fish harvesting fun! Can you guess what will be on my plate for breakfast tomorrow with a couple of eggs, hashbrowns and toast!
