    Gonna have company? Thought I heard somethin about the step dad's boat once. Somebody was tryin to tell me you were givin up fishin & drinkin too. Who's Gary?

[glenn57]

Gary is my brother.  And he's coming around. I knew he'd see the light sooner or later.

And the step dad and mom went up and got the boat this past Friday. Even his Ford hot in.

And the day I quit fishing and drinking is the same day my obituary will be in the paper.

A little snow on the Narrows cam today.

[glenn57]

I just got word from my friend up north. His kid was on bowstring yesterday. 2 and a half to 3 ft of ice and can drive a truck just about anywhere on the lake. I should be good on the lakes I'm hitting.

Other than a few spots on the landings the lakes are in good shape.  Probably best they have been in all winter.  Some still have a few slush pockets but most are drivable.

[merc]

There is no way I would drive a truck on Bow. I saw the ice first hand and it is not all solid ice and it is not three feet thick either.   

[Gunner55]

There's something on the ice in front of Geiger's access today, it was there yday too. Looks like a wheeler with a blade to me.

[merc]

No clue what that is. I'm looking at it on there facebook page which has a bigger angle and what ever it is it is weird looking.

[Gunner55]

The guy on FM that's a friend of theirs is saying it could be Ben's , must be their kid, wheeler that was stuck out there for most of the season. It has a broken axle & he doesn't think they've been able to get it off the ice yet.

[merc]

Not a wheeler. I watched them pull it off the lake. Looked like a riding lawnmower with the hand controls but it had tracks on the back. It had roll bars and they had the tracks in plastic sleds to pull it off. It was strange.

Snowin pretty good up there since about 10. Hope the little blue guy takes it easy comin home.

[glenn57]

well I made it home. it snowed about 4 this morning but when I started rolling at 6 it quit. seems like there was some freezing rain first. the roads sucked till Crosby, or a bit north of there. did a little freezing rain on the way home to.

well my biggest fear is now a dark reality. got out on the cabin lake about 1 pm. I drilled holes in 4 different spots ranging from 7 ft to 14 feet of water. had my underwater camera down and nothing bot DEAD FISH all over the bottom wherever I looked.

towards evening I thought what the hay...…..I set out to the crappie hole. for 3 1/2 hours I never marked a fish. only thing I seen was about an inch and a half bullhead come up my hole gasping for air. i'm sure that's dead to by now.

so just for entertainment purposes I drove by the holes I previously drilled to see if any fish came up looking for air...…...NOPE...…….NADDA!!!!!!

THE LITTLE LAKE behind us didn't produce either, but could be early for that. there is about 2-2 1/2 feet of ice, but the first half is all the slush ice. time to put the ice stuff away.

That's really sad, that was one of my favorite lakes since the 70s. Pulled a lot of nice fish out of there and have the pictures to prove it. On a side note. How much snow is on the lakes? Thanks!!

before this snow, today...…..maybe 2 inches at most.

thse to fisheriey guys are getting an email first thing tomorrow...…………..I aint going down without a fight.

[merc]

They will have to I would think. They did after the 96 freeze out. If they didn't it would make every ones property on the lake worthless as far as resale value. If you need more input from people as far as contacting the DNR I would be glad to help.

I don't have the emails here at home, I,ll send the mto you tomorrow. PM me your email addy!!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

    Sad to hear about the lakes by you glenn. There's a lot of those smaller/not very deep lakes in Itasca county so it will be a big problem up there. The way St Paul has slashed their budget over the last few years I'm afraid it could easily be a fight to get enough $ to do much good. The contact info your after is also @ dnr.state.mn.us/area/fisheries/grandrapids/index & there'll be a box at the bottom of the page. Top right of the box it'll say"area staff" click on that, all their phone #'s & email addresses are listed.

[glenn57]

there email addy's are in my contact list...…….they aint getting by that easy!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Yeah, I know we've talked 'bout this before. It was more for merc's or anybody else that might be like minded benefit. Maybe even for future refernce.
