I saw this so I’m sharing it as it is funny..
THE FISHING IS SO BAD. EVEN THE LIARS DID NOT CATCH ANYTHING.
Any way the fishing has been better then bad. Kentucky and montana had two very nice family’s. Jake, Katie, kids Sophia, Otto. Brad, Beth, Kids Brady darn can not remember the little girls name. Sunday eve into the morning they had a hoot catching more then a few over night. The night bite has been the ticket for us most of the season. 1am to 3am.
there is also a morning bite as the sky starts to kick over. Then throw in the bewitching hour. they had a nice fish fry and took fish home. I was checking in jeff . The kids were out playing in the distance, Brady’s dad threw a football. He dove head first making a spectacular catch, Jeff saw it to as we were looking out the picture window. Reminded me of all the times Jonny boy and I played football with Kyan and his dad Larry. Kyan is I think 1 day apart from Jonny boy in age. Larry was my brother inlaw.
North dakota had a second night of crazy fishing? Again shiners were there goo to bait.
Jeff ,Jessi have been in old minnesota for two nights. They had ate a fish or two ? They also had one on the ice, plus jeff said he missed more then a few. Jessi also lost one off a rattle wheel.
Chad and his 2 buddies spent there second night in california . They had some action “I think they had 5 saved as of yesterday”
Joe and his daughter Page are in north dakota. They have had action also again after or just before dark.
They also have caught some fish. My short term memories is interfering with me by the way.
I know every one has caught a fish or two the last 48 hours.
Jonny boy and Dan the carpet man came to shore to get the v plow on red baron.
I was able to take her on the lake yesterday. She seemed to be running real well. I made the morning rounds plus made a few short cuts in our road system. It kinda funny but I do not lay things out like a neighbor hood. There is a reason I do this ?
I also got to slowly, slowly punch threw some of all the broken ice chunks. I saw a few spots just south of us that looked very very fishy.
Jonny boy and Dan got busy moving montana as I gave the ice castle a good cleaning. “Including my phone”. As I was walking in I reached for my phone in my inside pocket. As I brought it out it caught the sling I’m wearing. Just like a free throw” nothing but ice hole”. I dove as if I was sliding into third base head first. I guess all those years of coaching baseball payed off. With only one arm I somehow trapped it on the side of the ice hole where it got away, I got it again as I gave it the death grip. I rolled away from the hole phone in hand. I quickly got the cover off it, shook any water out of orifices’ then set the edge of it on the defrost in red baron.
Wow talk about some excitement for me. This was all before noon.
I had a meeting around 1 so as I headed in so proud driving my red baron. Just after the bridge some bumps caused the red baron to blow a fuse and just stop running. Jonny boy said it also happened a few time last year, we think it has a flopping wire some where above the spare gas tank.
Its never easy, challenging YA? Fun! Most of the time. Stressful !ya ya! all most every single day plan a can become plan b c d e f g h etc….
Off to say good bye to our guest today, then the plan is to work on the hillmans highway as much a possible without destroying all we have ‘On a Grand Lake That Owes Us Nothing’
