Bear lake help please

IMO, you will have a tough time catching macks from shore at Bear Lake. The only method that I have ever seen work catching macks from shore to what the locals call, long lining bait. They usually use a small boat or float tube to take the bait out to deeper water(100 to 200 ft from shore), then drop the bait and go back to shore and set up their rods with some slack and a bobber on the line, when a fish picks up the bait the line will tighten and you will see the bobber lift up. The main bait that is used is cisco but sucker or chub will work if you don't have any cisco. I would try fishing the shore at Cisco beach. Good luck and please post a report if you make it out.
