Steve and Bob and there wifes Kathy and Cheryl pulled in yesterday for a 1/2 day of fishing. Do to the wind we headed to the north shore to troll spinners. we did really well with Kathy having the hot lure. I was surprisedf how quick we caught 15 fish. The smallest was a 8 incher and the largest was close to 18 inches.
We then came to the east side but battling the wind was to much so we called it a day. Every one wewnt home happy including me.

Our computer crashed this spring,Were up and running again so I will try and give a recap.
This years opener had the most boats since walleye reopened I thought. The ealrly spring effected the fishing and the numbers were down. The tamarac river was much slower. Most of our guest this year have had a fish fry and some have t taken home there limits.
Last weekend Ryan and I did real well with ryan catching the biggest walleye of his life a 27 1/2 incher. Wow what a nice fish.
I had the pleasure of taking James and his son Brian fishing again this year. last year we battled the wind so it was a treat to have such nice weather and we did real well fishing with Brian landing a pike over 40 inches on his walleye set up.
Kellie and I went atfter crappie early inthe season and caught a couple but nothing like past years. Keith found a honey hole and land 9 with his buddy and said they saw atleast 100 caught out of the same area that day. It was a small spot along the shoreline in 3.8 feet of water. I fished there for a few minutes and landed a pike over 40 on my crappie gear. There was a window of a week where the pike were all on fire. A guy should of targeted them but I was busy catching walleyes. Our son Joe will be visiting this summmer so I will have him add some pics from the past year while he is here. I will be doing some prefishing this week for a guide job so stay tuned for further reports. cookie on upper red lake

The days are dwindling away before the 2010 season oppener. The tamarac river opened up yesterday. This year we still have cabins open on the 21rst and 22 of may and also the last weekend of may. June is wide open also so give us a call to see if we can accomedate you

yep this coming weekend is the last weekend we will be able to keep walleye. Florida caught 3 crappies but lost one at the hole so that was encourging.All the houses caught some fish this weekend which is always a plus. Andy and his buddies kept me hopping as I had the house on a fresh spot for them friday and we moved the house again saturday. The stupid fish sure have been biting lite all year and if a guy could figure out how to make them bite who could of put the hurt on them. Oh well more walleyes for this summer is not a bad thing. I will be adding more pics from the season so make sure you check them out in the future.

we now have had house on the lake for 53 days. i have been on the lake 49 of those days. I’m still not burned out but its easy to fall asleep befoere nine oclock at night. I still wake up way to early though. The fishing has just been soo so all year in my book. Houses have never produced 50 fish in one day and I need to see a picture if they are. On a good weekend we might have a house that gets over 20 which in my eyes is good walleye fishing considering I have been to other walleye lakes and never caught one.
The season has been fun again and if it wasn’t for my return customers it would be a rougher season. Thanks guys and gals/fisherpeople as Joe would say.
We still have open houses through out the rest of the season and I offer 20% off midweek.
We will again be having our crappie hunt march 12th and 13th. I have two great giveaway prizes one is 2 tickets to the Mystry cafe with a room and the marriot. One of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in a 250 dollar value. I’m also offering a full day in out 20 foot tyee and one night in our cabin.
Now for the fishing report/It was a little slow this weekend. Tony and Nels had 5 quality fish as of yesterday and they are out deeper. I have worked big reef all season and most of the action has been in the evning as the walleye come onto the reef to feed. Its been just good enough fishing to keep moving them around the area but it may be time to move to deeper water.
Shawn and his family have florida and when I stopped in last night it was a little slow. Matt had montana and had a group of four from 3 different countries. Laura and Tatina were from colombia. valatina was from chili and Luis was from venezuela. They went home with 7 or eight fish and I gave them a couple that I aquired. Jonny boy was up with two friends and they went out on sleds friday and found three of the elusive butr still catcheble upper red lake crappies. they tried the same place yesterday with no luck. they have gotten a few walleyes in old minneota on big reef they even got one on a tip up
The greek and I will be doing some serious scoutting this week before we move the house 5 to 7 miles out. battling mother nature is tough and being that far out can really take a toll on the equipment. Blue thunder is going in for a new clutch. 5 years and she s ready. I have all new wires and plugs for the red baron and need to address that sooner the later. The greeks ford Three wheel is parked for the season as the cluth is shot.The greeks dodge only has 1rst gear and reverse but has turned into a work horse and have nick named it the work horse. the little red truck that could also has a worn out cluth and has not been driven in over a month,

The weather station kept saying winter storm warning. But it just kept getting warmer ,,Sunday eve it finaly hit. What a mess. All the ice road were filled in. All the resorts have dug out and every house on the lake has snow drifts around them causing flooding. the greek and I will be moving them all today and I can gaurentee there will be more then one cuss word today. Old minesota never got fished and willl have to be moved. that spot will be marked as I have a gut feeling thats the mother load. We have two and half days to prep for the weekend.lets hope things go well

This last weekend was quite the weather. The temps were hoovering around 30 all weekend. As I was coming off the lake sunday night I saw my first snow flurries. 4 hours later it was getting real ugly out there real fast. with the snow coming down sideway we could say good bye to all the roads.Yesterday was just as I expected and for the first time in 8 years there was no way I would be getting my customers to there houses.We found lodging for them last night and will be working are way out to the houses this morning so they can wet a line. wayne went home with only 3 fish but we had fun playing poker and I took 14 dollars off him playing xbox. I also retrived his fishing rod that went down a hole on saturday.Compltly by accident but I get the credit.Mort, lars and Paul went home with 6 keepers and caught and missed a few more.
Jordaon,Tonya,Eric and Sherry are hunkered down in florida and snow in until we can get to them today. they were fine last night when we took the sled out to check on them and were getting ready to have a fish fry

OOPs. The greeek and I stayed busy this week as we moves all the houses on to fresh ice. Rob,Amy and Mel stayed for 3 nights and had a grand time. They caught a few fish and partied like rock stars. They sure are a nice crew to have as they never complain about the fishing its alll about getting away for them.
Pete and his family fished california and did really well landing a few fish 20. Last night when I checked on them they were up to 15. Dons crew of 10 had very poor fishing and are ready to move even thogh the houses have not been fished for 24 hours. I will spend the day moving them closer to california if thats what they want to do.
Wayne will be coming up tonight so I will be spending some time with him and his son playing xbox and fishing

Heres the deal we have a group that came up today and friday so they will be leaving saturday. Idaho our house with satilite tv is open saturday sunday I will offer 50 % off so thats one night free plus you get to fish while watching the vikes playoff game

This year we have been working big reef with mixed results. The rocks are scatter and you would think we would be pounding the fish . we have had some good nights followed by not so good nights. the main basin seems to have good fishing for one night then the next night it slow to dead. Atleast with the suttle stucture there is a little more consistancy. I will be moving california today and plan on making a major move to try a whole new area. Utah will also be getting moved a sthis is jakes favorit house. Better get to work
