To my surprise the winds howled all night sunday but the drifting around the houses were next to nothing.
The fishing was not to good. Larry staying in old Minnesota one last night caught 5 fish all over 18.
Banjo Mike and his wife did horrible? I offered to move them yesterday after we got all our other houses moved and customers checked in , they decided it was to much work.
I sure do understand why the fishing was so bad in that spot. The whole area had been fishy in the past. I guess they swam away. My other theory is they are so plump and healthy they really do not need to eat unless its a treat. I’m thinking some one should try a strip of bacon?
The new spot we picked for Aaron and his crew only got a couple,, Jerry and his crew were in there last night and did get a couple so far. The plan will be to move them for there third night at this time.
Keith and his wife got 3 but did not have any rattle wheels down.
We did move caliofrnia, florida, north Carolina, and old Minnesota yesterday. I would like to get it dialed in where we could move all 7 in one day? Prepping spots takes so much time not sure if its possible.. We had guest in 4 house last night so will see how they did today, I’m done expecting good fishing as there just not biting that good?
We did have a cancelation for the weekend so old Minnesota has opened up.
1 fish ,2 fish ,no fish 3 fish is my new saying.
Its so frustrating to not see the guest not catching fish. None of my tricks of 17 years is working.
Last week Justin did try fishing outside away from the house and picked up 2.
Fishermen/ guest will some times blame the weather? The only problem I have with that is you always here a report some where on the lake we hammered them?
Tim and amande that were here a week or 2 ago caught 21 fish, the year before they did well. They went and fished where my guys from Arkansas got next to nothing during the blizzard and picked up 3 nice fish, I’m guessing they are pretty good fisher people. She did say they are tight to the bottom and were biting super lite.
So earlier this year the snow was like sugar sand and was the easiest, best snow I have ever banked houses with, Yesterday the snow had turned to the worst, wet, heaviest snow I have ever banked houses with, I knew I was go to pay for that beautiful banking snow. The last house we banked I had Jonny boy do it my back was shot.

Today the winds are howling out of the nw. Working out there today could really be a chore to say the least. The snow had turned real wet now with the temps dropping and the wind howling off road travel make get a little tougher.

  1. Would you interested in renting old Minnesota for tomorrow night into Friday morning? Three guys heading to Baudette but we’re going right by upper reds. Be there about 6 or 7 tomorrow night.
