[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Like Predator said earlier, I want to thank all the guys that willingly gave us the information to catch fish. Without this forum as an information source, we would not of had such a great fishing trip. [/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Friday was a very long day. We left at 1:30 am and stayed up all day. Skeeter stayed up the longest having worked swing shift and then climbing right in the truck for the ride down to Fish Lake. We fished on the east side of the lake straight out from Joe's bush. SUDH gave me a GPS point so we decided to try it out. We ended up catching quite a few fish. We broke out the four wheeleres but the snow on the east side proved to be too slushy and the even the 4wd four wheelers were having a real rough time getting around.[/size][/font] [center]![[Image: fl3.jpg]](http://home.attbi.com/~bearlakemack/fl3.jpg)
[/center] [center]21 3/4" , 3 1/2 lb Splake caught Friday caught on a 2 1/2" glow tube and chub meat[/center] [left][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Saturday Proved to be just as productive. RNL, Skeeter, and Predator fished shallow and put a hurtin' on the rainbows and splake while I stayed out in 100+ water and fished for macks. I caught 6 macks but all were guppies. I did hook up on one fish that I would guess at 4-6 lbs by the pull but lost him at the hole. No big fish caught. [/size][/font][/left] [left][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Late on Saturday afternoon, the snow and wind hit with authority. It was whiteout conditions and we had to use GPS to get back to the parking lot. The storm ended up putting 6-8 inches of snow down on the ice Saturday night.[/size][/font][/left] [left][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Sunday morning proved to be clear and bitterly cold first thing in the morning. We tried to get in close to the east shore to catch some bait but it was so slushy the snowmobile got stuck. We had to man handle it out of the slush and get it back to firmer snow. The unfortunate thing was that when we parked it, the track froze up and we burnt a belt up. Good thing Skeeter had an extra belt which we changed and then cleared the ice from the track.[/size][/font][/left] [left][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Predator proved to have the hot stick on Sunday catching a few fish. We concentrated our efforts in the deeper water trying for the macks but the only macks caught were midgets; the biggest being about 2 lbs that Skeeter caught. Here are a few pics of a few of the fish caught Sunday morning.[/size][/font][/left] [center]![[Image: fl1.jpg]](http://home.attbi.com/~bearlakemack/fl1.jpg)

Tons of fish to catch and beatiful scenery shared with good friends. Definitely a trip worth remembering.[/size][/font][/left]
