Bear Lake Report

[ntrl_brn_rebel]

I dont get on here very much but a few members I talked to today asked me to post up a report so I thought I would. Thanks for the kind words guys! I wish you the best! Fishing has been pretty good the past few days, it usually is this time of year and if your after a big Bear Lake Mac the next few weeks is the time to catch one!

We trolled a mixture of Rapalas and Live Target Lures available up here in Garden City at Pugstones, Darin can get you lined right out on what has been the ticket. Check his website for more info on hours, etc. http://fishingbearlake.com

The ticket the past few days is finding the fish on sonar and staying on them, we noticed variable speeds and varying downrigger depths seemed to help the bite. The fish seem to be more congregated in spots and spread thin in others, depths were varied, caught fish in 65-85 and noticed fish just about all depths, just in different spots.

Hunting season [laugh] has made it hard for me to get out early, but fishing seems good midday, even into the evening.

Good luck everyone, hopefully I will see you on the water with a big one in your boat!

Wow, some of those macks are really pigs, thanks for sharing your report and pics. Sounds like I need to get up there before Elk season starts. What are Live Target Lures, are they a new lure company?

Live Target are some newer lures that I have not used much until recently, unbelievable graphics on the side and very solid action in the water at speeds approaching 4 mph. They are a bit pricey, but seem to be very solid lures.

Today we fished the west side, but I have talked to guys who did well over east as well.

We have also been doing well. NOW is the time people, NOT later in October. Yes, you can catch fish in late Oct, but right now the fish are about as aggressive as they get in the pre-spawn mode. In fact it has been good for a few weeks! Here is one from Friday. It broke my scale that went to 20lbs.
