At this time again its hard for me to report much. Richy rich’s better half did have a good flurry of fishing yesterday while the guys worked . She said she had never caught so many walleyes? Being last year she caught one? maybe she caught 3 or 4 and that’s a lot?
Jonny boy is having a hard time leaving that area but it just has to be done, With all the snow drifts one dusting followed by strong winds could be a disaster as all those trails will catch snow causing more weight..
I personally would like to make a trip out there today to measure some ice thickness. Checking out all the other resorts is not in the books at this time.
Just from following all the resorts on social media every single one had different circumstances . It only makes sense that the further south has the most snow with the wind blowing north NE that night.
I’m still unsure when and if Buddy Hillman will again let traffic out on the lake. He does have a few rentals out there with the 12 man double decker sleeper, sitting on fresh ice.
Were not full this weekend which is a good thing as the boys keep working on getting our houses on to fresh slush free ice.
I will have a fishing report come sunday, Monday as We will have 14 guys out there wetting a line not counting the help.
I know that buddy Hillman’s was making progress with the tractor and snow blower. Jonny boy was out helping plow the main road with the red baron into the night after we put on a used upper radiator hose.
I’m feeling a little better everyday by 1% if that? Resting my mind from my concussion is probably the toughest. I have looked into meditation so will see how that helps.
The phone calls are a problem but way better then weeks ago when I would cringe when the phone rang.
It amazes me how many people call looking for something this weekend or next. Looking at the books were good with reservation until the last weekend of Jan. Yesterday I had a string of calls in a row, as a outfit was calling there customers to tell them this weekend was a no go. I truly wish we could help them. Buddy Hillman may have something but they would need to call Hillmans, 218 647 8504 calling me does no good..
I may know today when they may be able to open there road again . Going off road is out of the question though. A sled or something with tracks is really the only way to get off the road. I’m not even sure if v plowing a spot are a option at this time?
I’m hoping I can go out again today to say hello to rick and his crew in north Dakota. I would also like to say hello to Pat and his crew.
Dan and Mel had to come up with a plan b after they got flooded out where they were at. They have been fishing and staying in our Florida House. Dan has also rolled up his sleeves helping out Jonny boy and Richey rich. He said yesterday he has a lot more respect to what we go through now that he has dealt with a taste of the operation. Funny it made me think about the year we camped with the cowboys at the Effie rodeo. After hanging out with them for 3 days I learned they traveled from small town rodeos week to week. If they were lucky enough to get in the money it was a win. Most had some type of injurie they were nursing. They all had pick ups with horse trailers. Man what a way to make a living.
well time to rest my mind and do my new thing “meditation”,
