Well, its been a interesting start to say the least. With the sheriff closing down the lake last week most had to improvise to get clients on and off the lake. At first it was no vehicles un tell they surveyed what the conditions exactly figure out where the open water was. This end of the lake has not really had any issue knock on wood. After a couple days they decided outfitters’ resorts and their workers would be allowed to shuttle customers out onto the lake. That kept me my help super busy. Dusty Handed most of the potables going out for the day with Tony also helping off and on when he was not shuttling our customers to the houses we have on the ice. Dan and Darrin were also able to haul a few customers out as she was just a little hectic. I even took Barb out with my car when she arrived. Her and melissa were in california fish house. The first night the rattle wheels kept barb up most of the night. The second night was just the opposite? Barb did bring me a chocolate cake for my birthday. somehow they found out my favorite is German chocolate but she said she stopped at 3 places and could not find one. They did go home with a couple fish.
Monatana did not do so well so Jonny boy was nice enough to move them for their second night. They did much better landing and missing quite a few fish taking home 8.
Utah also had a couple days of good fishing. Florida was a little quiet. But they hired the snowbear all 3 days getting spoiled. My cousin and his two buddies came from Colorado. They are avis walleye fisherman. There plans also got changed due to the closure. We were able to get them in there portable to a couple other spots. Where they had good action even catching a few elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappies. They also had action on tip ups away from Tennessee . Minnesota has Shawn and his son we also moved him yesterday so will be checking with him in a bit. We’re hoping to get the rest of the fleet out on the ice in the next few days. The sheriff said they will be making a new evaluation today. on a grand lake that owes us nothing.
