Been a very busy week for me here on the shores of upper red lake. Cleaning all the shacks with new procedure takes quite a bit more time. Once I get her dialed in we should be good to go.
As I get older the back seems to get sorer, faster, which sucks . Last year did not help that’s for sure.
The lake itself has been pretty quite after last saturday that’s for sure. I expect another crazy saturday morning as I know fishermen that are staying in bemidji as that’s the only place they can find to stay.
We have room for parking/camping down on our shore. I thought about putting some signs up, but just putting it out here should be enough.
Jonny boy has been on the lake every day for over a week, be it on sled or wheeler, so he has a good idea where they were biting yesterday . I expect Thursday and Friday to be way busier then last Saturday. After last weekend more fisherpeople are trying to beat the crowds if my phone call is any indication.
I had a chance to rent a skid house that was being built but totally dropped the ball, Sorry Kevin I visioned a chicken coup not a mansion. Oh well you snooze you lose. I have always said things happen for a reason, some times Ii have know idea why though.
Got the new gas tank for the other red 454 truck. Of course the fuel pump is wrong so heading to bemidji in a bit. Since its a 65 mile drive one way my list has gotten longer. Eating away at day lite time. I’m starting to get the itch to fish. The hammer and I spend are nights in old minnesota. So the plan is to sleep out there the first night on the lake. From 20 years of experience I’m thinking that could be the 16th of december.
Its defiantly time to hit it in high gear, Its so funny, every year its the same scenario. When we should of been installing a truck part, I’m to busy working. Then golfing after work. Hind site? You would think a guy would learn. I’m going to ask the hammer to slap me over the head next summer.
Again all our weekends are full tell Jan 20th. We do have plenty of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
Blue thunder has a little miss so I will also be picking up some tune up parts today .The parts guy is going to make a bundle off of me today. My great friend Wayne, nick named wacker, from are autobody days at heritage restoration will be coming up on the 18th. I have a few truck doors and windows that need major adjustments I plan on twisting his arm a bit. We will be playing some cards so the plan is to play him for labor? All in.
Its getting light out, time to hit the road. I will get a fishing report written friday morning as Jonny boy has a few groups out there now.
