I went to Bear Lake sunday with the family and some friends. We got there about 6:30, water was smooth as glass. We marked alot of schooled fish in about 10-25 feet but couldn't find the lure. My son caught his first fish by himself. It was a cutt about 20" and 3 pounds. We caught 1 more little one before the wind kicked up. We were off the water by 10:30. Dang that place can get ugly fast!!!! We beached 3 boats trying to load them and watched 1 other boat have a heck of a time with the waves. We were over by the South Eden area. I talked to a guy from Idaho and he said they did good all weekend but Sunday was really slow. They had only caught 5 in 3 hours.
On the way home we decided to hit willard bay. Ran into some other BFT'rs (sorry I can't remember their names). We fished the south west corner and caught 7 wipers between 4 of us in my boat. My other friends caught 10+ just before dark. We were all using prism shads, rattle rapalas, and white plastic minnows. My wife's cousin got his first ever fish which was a big fat wiper. I think he'll be a fisherman for ever now. Thats the only thing he talked about for hours. I'll post pictures when I figure out how to use the camera.
