This has been an interesting
Fall. I had the opportunity to fish with Jason Mitchell along
with Dennis Kassube in August. They filmed two shows, the
first on Walleye Fishing and the 2nd show topwater fishing
for Bass. A lot of fun with successful fishing both days.
These shows will air after the first of the year and show
thru July, 2010.
Bill Sherk with Due North was also here towards
September bass fishing. Did they get the weather, but filmed
a great fishing show and also on things to do in the area.
It will also be shown after the 1st of the year thru July 2010.
We have had some great fishing this Fall,
both walleye and Bass, Northerns of good size, and crappie.
Although the Crappie bite hadn't really taken off, some people
were able to find the crappie holes and get some great slabs.
Now we are in a very interesting time frame
waiting for the lake to turn over. Water temperature right
now is 43 degrees trying to go to 42 degrees. I know this because
Chuck Eldridge of La Dredge Corporation installed a camera
underneath the dock. The camera is linked to a tv in the cafe
which also shows temperature. Right now, there are no fish
on tv. The bait fish have gone deep and as the cold water on
the bottom goes to the top the bait fish will come in. The
big fish are staging in about 14-19 feet of water and no matter
what you throw at them they will not bite. (There have been
some walleyes caught from shore, but this is not the norm for
the next day or two.)
As soon as the turnover is completed
the bait fish will come into shore and the big fish will be
chasing them. Not only will boat fishing be good so will the
wader fishing. If you haven't tried wader fishing you should
I can only describing it as being one with the water. Because
I am short, sometimes when talking with taller fisherman the
water goes down my waders and I really do feel like one with
the water. The guys think this is funny. I think it is blonde.
We have a framed in area on
our wall of fame in the Dining room. We are going
to devote this as a Tribute to our Military. If you are a customer
of mine or have family that are or have been in the military
please send me a picture and a short note as to what their
tours of duty included. We are very proud of our military friends
and would like to share them with everyone. My address is above
or you can e-mail me pictures and I will copy them and put
them up. I look forward to hearing from you.
