i arived at 1:00 and got my room then headed down to the lake went to lucern to see if i could get this mac thing down. started walking off the dock when i decited to talk to two guys on snowmobiles iasked if theve done any good. they said they were up here two days allready with no luck. so i asked i theve herd of bft.long and behold it was blm and ifg he asked me if i had any cleats i told him no and he offerd me some and told me to try fishing off a point then they were off. i walked over off the point and startedfishing when i seen them going back and fourth.{ there was a big preasure ridge and they couldnt get over} so they came over to me and then hellsangler 69 showed up and they all invited me to fish with them. it was nice they taught me how to do the jigging technique. witch i thought was very kind i know theve got to be a little tight lipped about the mac fishing we didnt have any bites so hellsangler wanted to go north for some burbot. so they all took off. i fished for a half hour longer with no bites so packed up and was heading out when i looked over where ifg was fishing and his ice scoop feel out of his sled so i grabed it and was going to give it to him at the hotel. but i guess they stayed in green river.{iwas at the vila}. 2/ 18 headed to swimbeach at 6:oo am walked and walked and walked. thank you blm for those cleats i know i would have ended up on my ass 20 times if you didnt give me those cleats. started fishing in 60ft of watter no go so walked and walked to 100ft of water tryed everything tube,spoon the jig blm gave me nothing so i switched to a storm jig and finaly got a bite but no hook up. so i headed home at 1:00. ive tryed several times to catch those big boys with no results. dont get me wrong ive caught a couple of ten ponders in the summer but ive been fishing there for 20yrs without seeing any thing over that. i usaly get stuck fishing for kokes because my dads the one with the boat. took 2nd in the tourny 3yrs ago with a 4.3 i think. cant complain about that.well mebey next year. THANKS GUYS HOPEFULLY ILL SEE YA AGAIN SOON.
