It sure was nice to get out and fish. The getting skunked in the morning part not as good. The interesting food for lunch was great and a trade mark for the Salsa Boyz get together. It was nice visiting with fellow anglers and sharing lunch and swapping stories. Bearlakefishguy you have a fascinating job taking care of that lake. I just have to come up some time and help out with the gill net surveys. That would be fun.
After lunch Wiperslayer1 and I set out to fix that skunk thing. We trolled everything we had on the downriggers and lead line. All I managed was snagging a little 8 inch sucker. What an unlucky fish. We gave up on the rock pile and Gus Rich point and crossed the lake to the south end of cisco beach. Trolled some more and got the skunk off with a couple small cuthroats caught on silver and black frenzies. Wiperslayer got fixed up with a small for him laker. We switched to jigging and picked up another small cutthroat. Gave it up at dark. Sunday morning had us on the water before the sun. Working jigs at the rock pile at Gus Rich Point. About 1030 I hooked up a smaller cutthroat then Ira got one. We had lots of bites and about 11 Ira got the nice cutthroat. After that the bites went away and we called it quits. All I can say is Bear Lake can really demand hard work for the fish it gives up. It can be tough but those fish we got are sure pretty. I got some pics so its not just a fish story[
