Always a eye opener here on the shores of upper red lake. Mother nature can be relenting.
Today is the big day of the kellier fire and rescue fund raiser and fishing derby. you can register up to 4 fish. they have two houses out on the lake about a mile out of there north road with 2 flags flying above them one house is yellow they must be register buy 3 pm for drawings. We have a full house as it was quite chaotic down at the lake last night as all the guys were coming in. Everyone I talked to had good to great fishing with winds howling at 20 miles an hour all day and temps plummeting. Go figure she always surprises you.
We did get Alaska, Utah and Tennessee out onto fishable water chuck and his buddy had a couple hiccups with the heat but Ashley Poo and I got her figured out. Alaska was also getting a few, We had a bad extension cord but also were on top of and it got it taken care of. The boys in Utah were also catching some fish. Our plans are to start bringing the fleet out tomorrow. Dusty will be rolling in for the season. The relentless wind turned the snow drifts rock hard so navigating will start off a chore I guess its pay back for last year. Hillmans was dragging their road all day yesterday so she should be in great shape. We did let some friends take their houses out yesterday, so they were digging that Darrin and Dan from d and d fishing were dolling houses out all day. Hope they can remember where there all at as they will be busy tomorrow.
It sure felt great to be busy all day on the lake. Driving the white chevy with good heat, nice seats, windows wipers working nice plow a guy could get spoiled all though I still miss driving blue thunder. Oklahoma and Texas our 2 new 12 buy 22 houses are coming right along Josh and Van did take the day off yesterday to enjoy a little fishing break. Ashly and Justin are itching to get their house on the lake so 2 great grandkids Wesly and Bently 7th generation can catch a fish. The plan will get them on the lake today with their hard house.
A couple of the guys did catch some elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappies in 8 feet of water? That surprised me. Time to check the fluids and warm up the fleet. More reports to come on a grand lake that owes us nothing but still keeps giving
