maybe i'll get the TV there for your arrival!!!!!

seriously though have you heard from anyone up there about the lake conditions with the slush??? some of the webcam pictured dont look purty!!!!!! and i dont think its been cold enough for it to freeze!!!!

[Gunner55]

Him & his boys were up New Years weekend too & he said conditions on the bay were pretty nice then. Just his wheeler & his portable goin out but it was so nice he didn't even use his tent. There's 'sposed to be 6-8 of 'em up there again this weekend too. Probably give him a shout before we head up as he said he was headed back home mid-week for a few days just to fill him in on our plans. See what he says.

[Gunner55]

I caught him on his way home yday ~3. He said 12" of ice most everywhere with a little slush on top. No problem going anywhere with his wheeler. A lot of people out again last weekend, most are using Lakewood's access.

[glenn57]

Gunner is either still in Inger  , in bed or cleaning out our road into the cabin.

Judging by the cams it doesn't look like they got a whole lot of snow. but the lakes look awefully wet.

[glenn57]

Just got word from my informant up by deer river they had 4 inches of wet snow.

Took the Ranger out on the lake, slush everywhere, must be from all the warm weather?

[Cooperman]

A little north an east of Park Rapids.

[glenn57]

A pile of lakes up that way!!! good luck!!

[Gunner55]

Checked Geiger's lately? Quite a few, 6-8, wheelhouses on the ice out front early Friday & Saturday. There must've been 6-8 maybe even 10 vehicles over at LL this morning when we went for a paper too. Nobody parked in the CR 35 access today, 5 or > out front though. As many as 8 out here mid afternoon yday too. Most of them were back out there again by ~ 9:30.

yep this morning I looked.

So what are YOU waiting for 

[Gunner55]

Them to leave so I don't show 'em where they're at. No hurry anyway 'cause we're not goin home anytime soon, besides I got fish!

[merc]

Hey Gunner, are they driving out from the north access on Bow? Thanks, going up this week.   

[glenn57]

i dont know why but i gotz a hankerin to head to winnie next trip up!!!!!!!!!!

[merc]

Not a bad idea Glenn, it's been years since I fished it. Every year I say "one of these days I will try it again" but it doesn't happen. But one of these days.      

[Gunner55]

Yeah, they are merc.

[Gunner55]

Tim was workin over at the Bstore yday & I ask him if he'd met the new owners over at Lakewood yet. He said not yet & then he added that he hopes they have some $ of their own to start with. He said when BShores sold last season($2.2 mil) the bank wanted $1 mil down so they could afford the payments & I heard they got $ 3 mil for LL. Your favorite waterin hole has been sold too merc, according to him.

NO SHEET.............hayslips is sold!!!!!!

[merc]

I'm glad it got sold as I was worried it would close down after Dave passed away. It will be weird going in and having a different person behind the bar after all the years of Rick and Dave being there. I figured he would come down in price until it sold.

i just might pass on winnie this time around. i've heard 2 reports today from people that went there....walleyes and perch are running small............i might just activate the GPS on Mercs vehicle to find his spots on bowstring!!!!!!!!!

at the moment i dont have really alot of faith in the tires on my truck but it does sound like its pretty easy to get around with a truck in the lakes!!!!!!

[merc]

You GPS screen will look lake a plate of spaghetti. Lots of spots marked on mine but the fish are never in the same spots. A few years ago I fished it there was an eagle sitting on the ice so just for the heck of it we stopped and had our limit in 30 minutes. Never got a fish there since. Last time up a raven was on the ice and we stopped, nothing. That proves eagles are smarter than ravens.     

[Gunner55]

  Been checking these http://www.jeffsundin.com/Minnesota_Fishing_Reports_and_Outdoor_Links.htm every now & then. Bumped into him a few times over at the NW access.

[glenn57]

Yea I might have to stop at that wheezy outdoors and have a talk with them about not posting on the forums.

[glenn57]

 Hey Merc, you ever go out of giegers or fish that way?? Can you tell me anything about them??

[glenn57]
