Well we made it home from my moms funeral in Iowa late last nite. Fishing report to follow.
Jonny boy and Richie will be busy today as they get out on the lake to make some decisions on what we can do for the up and coming weekend.
After slamming on blue thunder last week installing a used rear end in blue thunder she lasted all of one day . While plowing out our driveway after a long day before banking un banking plowing moving houses etc she broke a front outer axel shaft. All this snow and slush has put my poor trucks through a work out. Getting stuck then trying to get them out is so much harder on them. I have always babied my fleet as much as possible. This year that is all most if not impossible. We were able to find parts on the way home so hopefully with a little luck we can get her up and running asap.
Some of the outfitters have pulled the plug for this year. Rumors fly on the internet making our winter even tougher? Most of the outfits that live here year long are still open. The wheel houses have drawn the short straw this year.
Every season is different when it comes to mother nature. It is just the way it is. I have been preaching for 20 years she is the boss . One year the ice froze like a skating rink . I could of ice skated all the way to the north shore, another year the lake cracked all over the place? Another year we had over 3 feet of ice maybe closer to 4. Another year we hauled snow from shore to bank the houses. Another year it was 40 below for 5 days with highs 30 below.
Trying to share how all the house’s did last weekend again is kind of a nightmare. We headed out of town sunday while everyone was staying tell Monday. Sarah and her crew did manage to get 4 over 17 with a total of 15 fish taken home. From what I gathered the fish started to bite sunday? No one got skunked as far as I know. Again the rest of the houses caught some fish but I have no numbers. Not being able to visit and get to know my customers has been tough on me. I want to get in a truck right now so I can go checkout the lake my self. After the little slip a couple weeks ago I keep telling my self I can not help period. I’m still hoping I can atleast do a little fishing in old Minnesota before the season ends. As long as I do not catch one over 10 lbs since that my weight restrictions of what I can lift. If I do get any fish I will just have to hoist them out of the hole since bending over is tough with this brace on plus the brace is to stop me from bending.
Again sorry about the poor fishing report, its been a long week traveling to southern Iowa and back.
At this time we are going day by day or week to week as we see what mother nature throws at us.
Again a few tid bits as we all try and make this world a better place.
Laugh more you only live once, laughter is the best medicine.
Be honest its a lot easier to remember the truth then to make things up.
Give complements, open doors, lend a helping hand.
Call your parents,
Don’t hold grudges. forgive and forget.
Love thy neighbor,
Pay it forward,
Lead by example
