Sunday feb 1rst was the first day since the houses have been on the lake where we had no houses rented, wow what a run the team deserves plenty of pats on their backs. Having our own road has been something new for us as well. The one thing I’ve notice is all the space we have not covered, we have not had a slew of traffic but that expected with something new. We have had a few problems / breakdowns with the fleet which is to be expected no matter where you’re on the lake 10 miles on the lake with our trucks are like hundreds of miles on the highway. Casper the white chevy we acquired last year has lived up to her name with a mystery tranny problem that keeps haunting us. Ashly says we need to change her nick name? She may be on to something, but I can be stubborn as in my eyes he is living up to its nick name. Been back and forth to the tranny shop 4 times. With out mentioning the shop I would not recommend anyone to his place. Rusty trusty has had door issues window issue broken welds new hub new used wheel no start a couple times. Plow going up. We did get new door pins for the burb what a difference that made . Blue thunder just sits there saying cookie save me. Same with the red baron.
On to the fishing. Fishing and catching has gotten way better the last 10 days. I even spent some time in old minnesota something I need to do more of the rest of the season. We did have the Rick Hughs group last weekend for 3 nights what a great group of family and friends. Rick has one bad ask fish house with 3 slide outs. They had a great time. A couple of the guys brought sleds and went on a 275 mile ride the first day said they never saw a sled on the trails that day. We did have to move the north dakota house as it landed right on a big rock, once we moved her, they did get a few fish.
Chris and his wife and kid took home 12 out of colorado and also had a great time.
Our grand sons Jason and Jacob stayed in nevada where they did have some action not sure if they kept any to take home as I did not get to say goodbye.
wyoming had dana and his son red lake did get Dana phone.
Utah had Cole and his crew they searched for the elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappie. They looked for crappies during the day we also moved them after the second day where they had better action there last night.
Asly poo managed to get 3 in one sit one evening, Dusty got 4 out of his house in a couple hours. I got a good keeper last night but came home just before dark to make my home-made pizza .
Tennessee had Logan and his gal they did really well. That house was closest to the main road.
Florida and Montana only got a few but still enjoyed the comfort of the houses. They also went looking for the elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappie.
The crappies have been getting chased all over with the cheatmaster 3000. Jonny boy and Dusty have taken a few customers out with good success. Jonny boy said the last 2 guys he took out released there biggest a 15 1/2 and only kept 5.
The crew have been doing a great job visiting our customers through out there stay. They may or may not realize they are carrying grama Olga’s legacy of being a great host. On a grand lake that owes us nothing.
We do have plenty of weekday house available with Idaho, Tennessee , Nevada and our 6 man texas open the weekend of the the 13th. Texas 19th 20th 21rst also canceled the last weekend .
