Personally I don't think Glenn is harming the fishery by harpooning those smaller northern. Otherwise I'd be the first to hassle him about it.

[fishwidow]

Agree.

something i found interesting, and of course my curiosity got the best of me!!!!!  ok call it nosy.  the lake i speared is a couple miles from the cabin, a very good pike lake, not big, actually very shallow and low water levels. the max depth is 27 ft. the lake froze out/ had winter kill the same 2 years the cabin lake did. i pestered the DNR about it, they did tell me they checked it out after it had the winter kill. they were surprised at how the lake changed and basically said they wouldnt do anything with it till the water level improves.

anyway, there is 1 place on the lake, its been for sale for a while. then the sign is gone. so........while sitting in my fishhouse i had an elderly guy come out and visit. nice guy. we talked. i was fishing maybe 200 yards out from the place on a weedbed.  about 3 hours latter i had his daughter come out to visit.....really cute!!! we talked and visited. she was an engineer and now stays home with the kids homeschooling.
when i quit for the day back at the truck i met her hubby coming down the road. California plates on the truck, again really nice guy. so...yesterday when i got home curiosity got the best of me, so i went to the Itasca county GIS mapping to check them out. mainly to get there names!!!!! was kinda surprised the ownership was listed as a Mn lake property LLLC out of minneapolis??? so i googled it there's not much there, 1 thing i did figure out was they said they have been there for 4 years and this particular LLC became in existence 4 years 4 months ago????

they told me there names, first names only, so i think they combined there first names to form this LLC!!! i find it odd a married couple would buy property, live on it and form an LLC????  guess he works form homa also but apparently the company he works for is based out of california and they travel back there now and then. whe nthat happens her dad comes up to take care of the place.

HEY GUNNER........do you know anything or heard of a wind farm put up somewhere north of  the area??????

the older gentelen said he duck hunted the lake and was pretty good for duck hunting, yea we knew that, but said after that wind farm was put up it went down hill??

he said someone he knows said there picking up dead ducks all the time around the wind towers??????

[Gunner55]

  Heard something about a wind farm but I don't remember where. We get a monthly paper, The Watts News, from NIEC & it would've most likely been in that. I don't usually read that but he does, so he's probably the 1 that told me about the wind farm. I'll have to ask him. There's quite a few LLCs on our lake too, most those are mainly family owned properties. But they're put in an LLC so that if something happens to 1 of the owners where they rack up a bunch of medical bills they can't go after the property. A Trust will do much the same thing but it's harder to get done & costs more because of the added legal fees, is what I've been told.

  when I'm up sometime around nee years, pretty sure I'm a gonna sneak over on Merc's side of hwy 6 a couple dsys!!

[Gunner55]

NIEC uses Mid-America wind farms in North Dakota for some of it's power, according to my brother. I googled it & the only wind farm I see up there is way up in the NW corner of Mn. Not far from the ND state line & ~ 50 miles north of Grand Forks.

[roony]

I don't understand.

Hey Glenn,   I haven't been posting lately but I'm always watching you if you cross the road. I may be up after New Years, not sure what days yet. I'll be watching out the window of Hayslips for any out of area people.

  It looks like somebody went out of Geiger's access today on a sled. Even kind of looks like they might've found a bad spot on 1 trail.

[Gunner55]

There's a couple portables set up to the north of the Narrows on the camera lookin east. That point seems to be an early season spot often.
