Hey Erabbit!

Good Luck with your up-coming meet!  I just have a feeling it will be a good one.

Thanks "Doc" and I hope yours will get back on track. 

Well I finally got out on the water up here and here is a taste of how they are doing:

Put about 5 hours in today kind of ruff at the start 7ish and laid down a lot at the finish 1 ish.

Started on east side just north of the point made one past thru area that marked fish yesterday then ran across and down lake about 6 miles on the west side. Ran into bait and a few marks in that area ran thru two times but could not get them to fire so worked my way north. Not much on the screen a few here and there with different depths all the time...........wawawa..........anyway at the end the last 30 minutes I had one release without anyone home then picked up a 21" rainbow. Scale was not working so I don't know what it weight.

 

 

 Skunks gone anyway.......................

Got out with Hoot today do some more pre-fishing for the derby starting at 6am tomorrow. We boated 5 and lost 4 or more fish were deep 100' to 125' down. Spent so time getting stuff ready for the morning and rigging up two downrigger rods with braid to help hook up with those deep fish.

Derby weekend here we boated 12 lakers and one landlock salmon biggest laker just over 5 # need fish 8# atleast the weight in. We kept 5 from 22" to 25" put landlocked back it was just 15". Fished from 6:00 am till 2:30 pm and called it a day will go back out in the morning. Picked up some on a spoon back 50' down 24". The rest on a BTI pearl squirrel sliver/fly down 120' back 12' and down 110' back 24' ( tail gunner). Nothing on the wire diver.

We got a later start ole dad (me) got up about 6ish and scrambled to get coffee done and boat uncovered. Started out with a light rain we ran across north of where we got them yesterday figure I would run straight across lake and set up and troll to our spot. We picked up three fish put two of them in the box (22" or so). Got call from my buddy Jason said they were doing some real nice north so we just took our time and trolled in that direction. We were happy with the two in the box so we figured let see if we can get into some thing bigger for the derby. Trolled north above long point before we found any thing hungry and boxed one over 5# and one about 5#. Picked up a few more nice fish but nothing huge. Then we picked up a nice 5+#er and I was wondering where to box it and that would be my three for the day or keep going for one to weight in , put it back. Later one ripped and I was on it boated it and it was just shy of 7# so I box that one and let Hoot have at for his last one. ( Hoot said that big one was his turn and should have been his fish. I said OK then I'm up.............he said JK it's your fish my turn NOW !!!!!!   LOL )After he missed hooking up on two and lost one on the three color core he finally got one too the net. So we called it a day and got back to camp just after three. We boated at least 12 all were good fish in the 22"+ range and 4 boxed over 5# and missed or lost around 5.

We boated 6 fish today with one just shy of 30" 7# 6 oz. still not big enough to weight in. 5 lakers and a 16" landlock . Done till next year..................

A few fish from the past few days.............

Then the boys came over the next day to get a GOOD look....LOL

The biggest one for the year so far !!!

Over the winter the left side of the launch area filled in and they closed that one off. They have put a coffer-dam in and are cleaning it out. I hope that they will just keep going and get the rest done but dred that idea because my brother and his buddy is coming up Sunday for a few days. Then Pete will be here the 8th or so and my son his new wife and my granddaughter and three brandy new granddaughter will be coming that weekend................but it will be nice to see it ALL done.

I just remember some thing that was going on at the end of the season. This may mess us up this year , they were drilling holes and taking samples of the ground around the launch area and in the marina. Some time next year (if those samples pass) they will install a coffer dam in the marina and remove existing dock put too floating docks on the sides and clean out the filled in marina. Which will take some ,well a LOT of time to get done. When I find out for sure I post it up. We may want to have it some where else !!!!!!

I made my reservations today...

Shirts are done I'm picking them up when I go back home this week.

What do ya mean just you two????   Ya know I am Always up for one a them!  And here I was going to bring my money along on Monday to pay for it...  Sooo, if your taking an order, I'll take one for me, size XL, I don't care about the color just get'er done!

And Frank, you is gettin' older...Just like ole pie face!!

I've thought , and thought about this shirt thing and it's a P.I.T.A.

When it's done I get a warm feeling passing them out and all but all the crap I have to put up with on both ends ( folks ordering them in a timely manner- the shirt guy getting messed up on the order - then collecting the money some pay ahead some pay later some ask me if they did pay ahead...... did I forget to write down someone payment........well you get the idea )

So if ya all want shirts for this meet this year someone will have to step-up and GET IT DONE.
