Well, as promised, here is my report for today’s trip to Bear Lake.
I’ll get right to the point … I was sorely humbled. Yup … I got skunked! Heck, I can’t even say for sure if I even got a bite!
My nephew Ron went with me and he was only able to land one cut.
Checked out the rock pile for a while but couldn’t find any fish. Lost some tackle to snags. Then headed to the east side hoping for better luck. Again had a hard time finding fish. When we did they were between 85 feet and 100 feet deep but not very consistent. Got the cut at about 95 feet.
After several hours moving around on the east side, we decided to go back to the rock pile. At the rock pile we finally found a spot at about 55 feet where there was constant fish traffic. I thought for sure we were going to finish out the day with some fish … but nada. They refused to take anything we had to offer.
The water was pretty choppy (very choppy w/white caps) most of the day … especially the second time at the rock pile. Coming in towards the marina we were catching some major air. Slammed the boat a bunch and churned my stomach pretty good.
At the marina, we talked to some guys in a Custom Weld that said they had caught 10 trolling. Didn’t say what kind, how big, or where.
So there is my pathetic report for the day. Hope I don’t get skunked Saturday.
Here’s a pic of Ron trying with all his might to lift his monster fish.

Hope Sat. is a tad better. I’ve been looking forward to this, for some time now.
