My Son and I fished Bear Lake today and we had a pretty good time. Launched at around 8am and headed right to the Rock Pile. There were about 6 or 8 boats already there when we arrived, including BearLakeFishGuy.
We started off jigging in about 43 ft of water, but no takers. Water temp was 51 Degrees a slight breeze but a good day. We weren't doing any good jigging so we decided to troll for a while, I stayed in the 45-50 ft range. I was getting ready to start a turn when Chris yelled at me to look at my fishing rod, at that point it was fish on. Great fighter and worth every bit of the wait, after almost 15 minutes we were able to get it to the boat and net it. To my surprise this Bull was 12lbs. Man this thing had a head on it like a Buick. We had to leave a little early as my son had a prior commitment , that mack was the only one we got all day . There were a few Macks caught in the area we were in, but most folks were moving around a lot.
