Goggleye  did my cabin He  did a great job but never finished. I paid  for what he had done and said he would be back to finish but!!! Good luck. Headed back up tomorrow for my fourth trip. Dang fish have to bite sooner or later.   

I warned her about that name...……………...but like everything else they don't listen to me, so...…...i'll let them deal with it!!!!!!! then tell them told ya so.

at least he showed up, were still waiting for that Williams out of squaw lake.

That's who we had do our septic here, they were good to us & do great work but are very busy. Last I knew it was just him, his dad, & his kid. Might want to keep in contact with 'em.

Gunner...……...how bad are the bugs??? one of the stewards wife has a bug reciepe I plan on using.
for 2 gallons of water they add 2 bottles of mouthwash, preferable a mint flavor, add some Epsom salt, apparently it helps mix the mouth wash and sprays it. he claims the flies and skeeters hate it.

I'm willing to give it a try, how long does it last Glenn? Dog safe etc.. We have close to two acres but just hit tge high traffic areas might be worth a shot. Did you post the recipe? If not I'd like it if you dont mind..

[glenn57]

The guy has dogs so it's safe. He said it last thru rain. He swears by it, I'll be trying in in a couple weeks. I posted it somewhere . But here it is.

2 bottles of mouthwash to 2 gallons water.
Couple tablespoon of Epson salt. This has something to do with it diluting the mouth wash in the water.
I'm gonna us a pump sprayer for lawn weeds, eti stopped at the dollar tress in red wing got 2 bottles for 2 bucks. You use the cheap stuff and preferably a mint flavor.

It looks like my next project is to roll the lift out farther as it was all the way down & the boat didn't want to float off this morning. Just eye ballin the space between the dock & the water I would venture to guess the the lake is down at least 6-8", maybe 10" since we put it in ~ a month ago. (5/6(?))

[Gunner55]

Maybe the  & the weather will get their act together by then. Not sure I'd bet on it as I seen the start of a mayfly hatch here yday. Plenty of wind most days when it's not rainin.

[glenn57]

[Gunner55]

  That doesn't usually make it stop.

Got back from my fourth trip and we finally got a few walleyes. Got some nice panfish also in 10 feet of water. Best trip so far, had a good fish fry and a coupe of the guys brought some fish home. The skeeters are horrible, especially by the lake. Let me know how your repellent works Glenn.

mom has been up there several times...………...I know how she operates...…...and lets just say i'd bet most the lawn will be cut. she struggles with the hill in front of the cabin to the lake. I can deal with that. besides my brother brought up a big ol rider...…...no problem, it has a beer cah holder.

yea i'll be up thursday. gotta drop off new contracts at ASV in grand rapids first. BUT, YOU MUSTA ordered rain for those days.

[glenn57]

Think you've got that back @ssward. Seems to me you ALWAYS bring it with you. The 10 day says good chance for some Thursday(pm) through Saturday now for 56680. So your gonna get the skeets drunk when your mowin?

So while your mowing you should turn that new light on that way it'll draw the skeets to it , instead of turnin you into a pin cushion.

i have expectations dat dat Iowa guy has them sqeeters under control!!!!!!!!!!

[LPS]

I've heard the best thing you can do is to give your neighbor one of the biggest bug zappers you can buy.  Then all of the bugs are over there.

That's why you give it to your next door neighbor.

X 2!  We're close enough I'm sure he can draw 'em from here. Damp with very little wind early out then the fog rolled in, skeets were extra nasty when I came in. They must be warmin up for the new blood that's comin up.

[glenn57]

  that new blood coming up has a few tricks up his sleeve!!!!! if them fail, enough  and i wont feel them bite. they get enough fluids from me it'll render there breeding abilities useless!!!!!!!!

Kinda figured that would be plan B & that plan B would make more sense than sprayin the whole lake.

[merc]

Glenns going up today so I guess I will wait until next week to head up again. The area isn't big enough for both of us at the same time.
