Lenny 1 and 2 headed home yesterday after a 3 night visit in Old Minnesota. Jonny boy and I moved them after the second day so we had them fish in montana while we moved where they picked up 2. Another great couple of guys. They ate fish, as well as took there 8 home.

I got Greg Lyle and there buddy checked into our new addition Kentucky . They were getting a few fish, Lyle got 3 mid day when the other two went to get ice. We will be saying good bye to them this morning, then its back to high gear after a good nights rest.
Lacy and Kyler had slow fishing in there wheel house and made a move. Its sounds like they may of found the mother load.
Lonnie was up for a quick trip. They had there 8 before dark. I see a pattern here Its much quieter during the mid week,with everyone spread out the fishing seems to pick up. Then by Saturday morning the bite slows as augurs are fired up ,traffic is traveling around making the ice pop and crackle.

I think I got the furnace fixed in California which is good . It kept going out, We determined it was rusty from moisture after sitting 9 months of the year.
We also had another spectacular, stellar sunset last night as I came off the lake.
Today is another moving day as we set up for the weekend. Kentucy and North Dakota are still open for the weekend. Then the day after Christmas it get crazy busy up here. I think I could of rented 30 houses between the 25th and 30th.
We still have some weekend stuff available mid jan through feb. I also offer 20 % off sundays through Wednesdays.
Yesterday I had over 50 phone calls. The best time to call me is early morning before my mind is going a mile a minute.
Hillmens road is again a highway. The speed limit is under 10 mph plus slower over the bridge. They are still only allowing 1/2 ton trucks with tandem axle fish houses as we are around 15 inches of ice give or take a inch.

I also noticed the south berm is starting to seep water, Busting through it to go north or south is always a bad idea.

Jonny boy was able to install the water pump in white lightning yesterday so I’m looking forward to driving that as my old back is taking a pounding in the plow trucks. Plus the heater works real good .
The red barons fuel pump is still not working, We need to figure if its a connection or the pump went out. Of course I had just gassed it up so the tank is full. Being a 1 ton it will be a while before she goes on the lake.
I made a bone head mistake Monday morning. I was checking the fluids in Blue thunder .The oil was a quart low so I grabbed a gallon of oil and a funnel . I stretched out to dump some oil in and gave blue thunder a good shot of antifreeze instead. I wanted to change the oil any way so we ended up changing the oil. I also noticed the batterie box had broken and the batterie was fraction away from grounding out on the fenderwell. It always pays off to pop the hood and give the trucks a once over every morning.
Looks like its time to hit the lake.
