Its been a busy week coming into this weekend. Jonny boy, dusty have been basically moving houses nonstop. It drives jonny crazy when the houses do poor, which I also know that feeling after over 20 years of stopping in to check and visit customers,
The fishing did pick up as the weather warmed and the barometer pressure started to drop. I have heard of a few groups landing on mother loads of the famous elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappies. We have had one here or one there but know big school the past week. We were able to find a few more walleyes than a week ago so that’s good news. All the houses were on new spots as of yesterday but Jonny boy and Dusty are out there moving houses with customers that checked on Thursday and even yesterday, I think. It a lot harder to report happenings on the lake when you’re not participating. We do have a nephew with his wife Liz and the 2 kids staying in minnesota They have had pretty good action as they had caught over 10 fish when I visited with them yesterday.
The back had been feeling better every day. Walking down to the lake without having to sit down was very encouraging. I was daydreaming that I may be able to spend some time in Old Minnesota next week. Not sure how I would catch a fish without bending or twisting? That changed a little tuesday when I was in our laundry room doing what I should not be doing. I knocked over a gas tank that was off a generator. I twisted and reached out to grab it. Not a great idea as a did something That really aggravated a muscle or something. It slowly gotten better each day so hopefully I’m fine, she still hurts but nothing like it did Wednesday .That should or better of been a wakeup call to think before I do anything. what I was doing I should not have been doing so I hope it’s a good lesson learned.
I have talk to all the customers over the phone today with just so, so, fishing. A couple houses have caught a elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappie. There’s been a few larger walleyes in the 19 to 21 inch range. A lot of dinks or small ones, Alot of misses, a lot of rattle wheels with nothing there. No complaints so that was good. I’m going to venture out there in a bit but do nothing that could set me back. I need to visit a few people out there. Including Jon the owner of Alaska “On A grand Lake That Owes Us Nothing”
