Gunner, Merc, anyone else . What you guys seeing/ hearing about boat landings. Seeing reports of lakes like split hand it's tough getting boats in and out.

Not sure how hard we are going to fish next weekend,but......

[glenn57]

My wife just threatened me with a good time , no not that,  so I might leave Tuesday now 

[mike89]

[glenn57]

aww come on Glenn make her happy!!!   

99% chance I will be. I'll have All my things done I want done before I leave by tomorrow afternoon 

[Bobberineyes]

Atta boy!! Although I've never been at the cabin without da wife,  only chasing birds season.  What's it like?? 

[glenn57]

Quiet, peaceful, I do what I want when I want.  don't worry to much about meals. Usually easy peasy stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I'd enjoy the wife along just she don't move as good as she used to. And we don't have 200 channels and a recliner aimed at the Tv.

She don't have issues with me going, so.... She knows I don't go to bars up there. Can't remember the last time I had a drink in a bar up there.

After thinking about this more, guess maybe what I like, is no agenda, no set time to eat, do this, do that .

Thought you said you went to Hayslips last time up!!

   I went in bought a case a beer, asked if and got extra drinking water and left. Never had a drink. My buddy bought his wife a tank top.

I was up a week ago and the lakes were really low but most  were fine to land except for Big Bow. My buddies went to the north and the west access and could not get their boat in. That was the only lake we went to that was a problem. Walleye fishing was slower but we still managed 18 keepers between two boats so not to bad. Sunfish were biting really good so that made up for the slower walleye bite.

Just got word a old horseshoe pitching friend passed away up there. Ed (Emil)  Erickson. They lived just south of the bowstring store on the east side of hwy 6 right before the river

 He was one of the nicest guys you could find. He let me bear hunt his property a few times. Pretty good horseshoe pitcher to, his wife Elsie was even better. I'll go to the wake, 1 pm Friday in Marcel.

[LPS]

Good for you Glenn.  RIP Emil.

[Gunner55]

Sorry to hear about your friend glenn!

[mike89]

yup good luck and RIP

[Jerkbiat]

Sorry to here Glenn. RIP

[glenn57]

thanks guys, he was 94 1/2 so he has a good run. he was in a nursing home and in deer river so he hated that from what his kids said. was one of the nicest guys you'd wanna meet and threw a pretty mean horseshoe!!!!

well didnt do a whole lot of fishing, kid and i kept 16 sunfish for a meal. never even tried to fish snot rockets, to hot and humid the day we thought about it. kid just wanted to relax and get away from his hustle and bustle of his everyday routine.  idid do some fishing before he got up there but was all catch and release. and i released some nice sunfish. 

when the kid arrived he surprised the heck out of me. he invested in a portable AC unit. if it hadnt been for that i would of probably came sunday morning.. got the cabin lawn and other things in tip top shape. not sure when i'll be heading back up next????? my brother is heading up end of july sometime....by then lawn should need cutting again....his turn!

Here is the unit he bought, and since Mom don't pay the bills no more, she can't bitch about the electric bill 

[glenn57]

Gunner or Merc, do you guys get a NIEC newspaper from up there?? Looking for a 10 ft dock section. My brother said he seen dock sections for 30 bucks. If you see anything thing like that PLEASE let me know.

Thanks

[Gunner55]

That's sounds mighty cheap glenn, especially with the area's current lake levels. We get the Watts News & the Shopper so I'll keep an eye out. Might be somethin on Nextdoor too.

[glenn57]

my brother said the guy lived on bowstring  probably gone though??????

thanks!!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

The NIEC paper is only quarterly so......................probably a no go there. Don't remember seein any when we went for the paper on Sunday, wasn't really lookin though.

[glenn57]

We've been right up in the weeds(10-12') for about the last week or so & gettin a few keepers. Quite a few slots too. Neighbor pulled a 22" Smallie out 10' the other night. He made a video of him releasing it, according to a table I found on In-Fisherman it weighed ~ 6.4 lb's.  I've caught a few around the cribs in the fall but 18-19" is my biggest, a nice fight on UL gear, but I had no idea we had 'em that big in here.
