Seen 2-3 portables out on Cutfoot yday. Couple were kind close to the resort on the west side then, 2 off in the distance there again today. Looked like there might've been some traffic at LL's access lately yday too.

[Gunner55]

According to Nextdoor, whoever went out of LL's access last week lost 1 of the seats for their portable shack somehow & somebody else found it Saturday. LL's new owners tracked the person down & are working on getting it back where it belongs.

i havent seen anyone out of there access yet by the webcam???? tough to see if there is traffic also..

i did take a look at there website closer...........there lodge looks pretty dang sharp!!!!!!!!!!

[glenn57]

[glenn57]

No, that's our neighbor's shoreline.

Forgot to bring some creamer for my coffee so we went over to the Bstore yday. Gave him a check for plowing for us too. We stopped at Riley's for a couple & as usual for that time-of-day, John, the owner, was working. I know he has a wheelhouse, so I asked him if he'd been able to get out much. He said he'd been over to Winnie 4 or 5 times & did pretty good 1 time. He was over there for New Year's Eve & said the 1 next to HB was full then too. The last couple seasons he's fished Bowstring most of the time, I believe.

yea but your not far from there right????? just trying to get my bearings lined up!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Yeah, our lakeshore property line probably starts ~ 50 yds from that weedy point. There was somebody out in an Eskimo hub style portable by 3:30-4 here today, but they must've have walked out from 1 of the places on the west side of our bay. No sled or wheeler, that I could see but they were only 20-30 yds out from the west shore. Only 3 units out front at Geiger's at around 4 today too & there was 5 there on Monday.

[glenn57]

Gunner....you planning on wetting a line anytime soon???

talking to my brother yesterday.........we may invade the northland first week of feb!!!!!!!!!

[glenn57]

So kettle, you been out fishing lately?? Are the lakes healing up much??

[Gunner55]

No, probably not as the Otter sled & Auger are in the backend of the pod & there's a bunch of snow in front of the doors too. Never really planned on it anyway, as I wasn't sure we'd even get back up here in between the eye clinic appts. A couple guys on sleds out about where the tent was last night.

[Gunner55]

I see where Sundin has a report from ML on 1/12 that might be of interest to you. All 5 wheelhouses were back in front of Geiger's by late afternoon yday too. There looked to be 3 portables off in the distance on the west side of Cutfoot yday as well.

[glenn57]

yea i seen that!!!!!!!!!

[Kettle]

Off the next 7 days so I'll be out. Reports are lakes in good condition. Fair amount of vehicle traffic on local lakes

thank you sir!!!!!!!!! plan is to head up the first week of feb.....weather permitting...........hope it dont change by then!!!!!

[Kettle]

Got out tonight up Talmoon. Lake was rough but solid, used the snowmobile but wheeler would have worked. Kept 5 crappies around 12 inches. Caught about 30 in two hours, let go a nice 14 inch.

that covers a lot of area!!🙄

[Kettle]

Was out tonight on bigger water, very little slush. Only one 2 lbs walleye. Saw lots of fish on the livescope but they were skittish

[Gunner55]

There was a couple rigs over at the resort yday, 1 was a toyhauler & the other looked like a homemade shack on a smaller flatbed trailer. Only 2 units left out front at Geiger's yday too, but it looked like there was a pretty good-sized group quite a bit farther out from lodge.

[glenn57]

seen that too!!!!!!!!! must be starting to get around more!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Somebody was out there ~ 11:30 & if I hadn't known where to look, I would've never spotted 'em.

[glenn57]

i'm pretty certain the ice conditions have alot to do with this........but i dont see near theamount of traffic on the lakes with the webcams as previous years.

thinking this upcoming cold snap should help the lakes!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

There was quite a bit of gray ice on the south side of the little bridge today. Don't think it was like that last week.

I knew that they're buildings were side by side out in GR's Industrial Park but I wasn't sure they were the same business until I looked into the new expansion plans, they've announced. https://www.grandrapidsmn.com/business/yanmar-to-expand-local-facility-offer-hundreds-of-job-openings/article_7198ded4-9743-11ed-99e1-cbf48e

[Gunner55]

  I got the error message on the original link now too, looks like it might've worked for LPS though. Just got the 2nd link to work a couple times for me so.......................... give it a shot. 

[Gunner55]

Yanmar bought Terex/ASV in 2019 according to both articles. The next building N of ASV plant usually has some new units sitting outside whenever we're down to the nearby county compost site.
