Well we were not full-on shore this weekend, but we did have quite a few guys down there. They all caught some fish with some doing better than others.
Seems most of the resorts have been a little busy the last few days as all the bugs get worked out. We ourselves have had a few hiccups but that is part of the business. Jonny boy has been plugging away plus helping with construction of two brand new 12 buy 22 skid houses that we will be renting this year. Oklahoma and Texas are their nick names. I’m thinking they could be on lake by Christmas if they all go as planned. We still have plenty of houses open throughout the season.
As far as ice I expect over 12 inches by Friday at this time. Our plans at this time will be taking our houses out starting Sunday the 14th after they our empty from the weekend.
Lots of excitement with the kellier fire and rescue fund raiser and fishing derby this Saturday the 13th. 11am to 3 pm. This we all be based out of westwinds resort. You are allowed to fish all of state waters or upper red lake; you must be in line to register fish by 3pm.
The lake has been very busy the last few days it’s even busy today with a possible snowstorm coming. Sounds like Dusty will be arriving this sunday. so our full crew should be ready to go. Still have hiccup with rusty trusty that jonny boy is dealing with. Looks like black beauty will be my lake truck again this year. The snow will be welcome for banking houses. So there not a whole lot to write about at this time as all the resorts are open and letting wheelers and side by sides out.
I’ll update in a few days as I still have plenty to do on a grand lake that owes us nothing
