Wiperslayer and I got up to Bear lake on Wens and were greeted with a thin layer of ice. Had to take it slow for the first mile or two then it pretty much was smooth sailing to the Rock pile. We set up and started trolling and after a little while we figured out what they wanted and we were on the fish. Nothing too big, cutts up to 24" including two tagged fish but it turned out to be one of our best days ever on Big Blue. Only saw a few other boats there, one of them turned out to be Kentofnsl. Good seeing you there Kent. Pretty cool in the morning with a slight breeze but not a bad day at all. We were trolling with down riggers and if any of you know the Rock pile, you know the danger of trolling too close to the bottom there. We did have several snags that ate a couple of lures but we also snagged a lure, so it almost equaled out[
]. Still lots of snow up there but no problems on the drive up and back.
