[Lee Borgersen]

I have never fished Red Lake before and am looking forward to meeting you Cookie.

He's easy to pick out in a crowd

[DDSBYDAY]

  The General is easy to spot also.

[glenn57]

soooo..........DDS why you pick on general all the time??????? i met him once, heck he even drove to the campground to  with me. seems like an outstanding gentlemen to me!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DDSBYDAY]

   I feel that it is an obligation.  He has been picked on an bullied his whole life.  I don't think we should stop now.    

[Cody Gruchow]

Ill be up as well

[The General]

No worries Glen we all know what DDS looks like and he couldn't beat his way out of a wet paper bag.

[dakids]

Yep that DDS.  I'd recognize that 1987 model apple computer anywhere.  HE STILL USES IT TODAY.

[DDSBYDAY]

   Cody you are a big boy and can take care of yourself but be careful.  The general likes to start that broke back conserve body heat crap as soon as it gets dark.  I think Fawkinnae is the only one that ever fell for it.

[glenn57]

i sure hope DDS has upgraded his dental equipment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cody Gruchow]

[Fawkinnae]

   Cody you are a big boy and can take care of yourself but be careful.  The general likes to start that broke back conserve body heat crap as soon as it gets dark.  I think Fawkinnae is the only one that ever fell for it.

Wow did she blow yesterday. I wanted to beat the winds and get minnesota moved befroe the white out conditions. Of coure the weathermen misssed there mark and she was all ready blowing when I got on the lake. I had ran into Chris and I had told them a general area to try, They did well and were headed home. Chris said they ended up on some dirty ice so I spent a little time trying to find that exaact spot. In the prosess I lost my phone murfeys law I guess. 9 years and 3 phones and this was the first time I lost or damaged  my phone. With white out conditions pending I now was with out a phone with visabilty down to less then a 1/4 mile. Once I started on my journy with minnesota I got to beacon harbors bridge and it was under water, I stepped out of the protection of blue thunder to scott a new crossing. Returning to the truck walking side ways into the wind a wheel house pulled up and the two guys were scratching there heads what to do. I walked over to them to show them there was indeed a bridge under the water and darn if I need not get both my feet wet, Ish! Nothing worse then working with wet feet. What normaly takes a hour  was closer to 2 hours moving minnesota in those conditions. Thats two weekends in a row I have gotten my feet wet. Last week I broke the carnial rule and went on the lake with shoes murfhys law. I will now be putting a exrta set of socks and boots in both trucks,
 After getting minnesota set up I checked on andy and andy in montana and they were closing in on 50 fish caught and released. Cody and Mike in florida had there 7 and were also practing c@r. The general and  faw- ki- naa had also packed up and moved out deeper.
After getting minnesota set up I hunkered down with wayne and phil and played cards and fished. I then received a message from tony as he was having generator issues in california. The generator had become drifted in and packed with snow, you would think a little common sense would of prevented this mishap. Now I had to put my wet socks and booots on Ish! Off I went in white out conditions to take care of the problem. I suggested they put the generator in the back of kurks pickup but they did not want in running in his pickup so I unloaded a box of blocks and set the unit in there.
I then scolled Tony on keeping a eye on things in the extream conditions we were facing.
Back to minnesota for more fishing and cards with wayne and phil. The wind died down to a small gail after dark and I headed home to pick up the red baron and put a extra propane on montana.

I want to say thank you to cookie for having mike and myself up. it was my first time on red lake and it was a blast. weather wasnt very cooperative. but we caught fish. i think we caught around 12-13 walleyes the first day. we kept 7 from 14.5-18 inches. let a few 12-13 inch fish go and some smaller then that. the fish were absolutly gorgeous, great color and some of the fattest fish ive ever seen. saturday was alot slower, with a few fish and some perch to keep me occupied throughout the day. we went into town saturday morning to get some food, after talking to HD, Fawkinnae and the general. i had to cross the bridge to go to town and seen someone previously cross it and noticed the front end of his truck dip down then back up, got to the bridge and it was under water, decided to go for it. went down further then i thought and kind of shook me a bit, took our time in town hoping that they were repairing the bridge, got back out onto the lake and they where thankfully just finishing moving the bridge. decided against going mobile in the portable, the wind was way to strong and visibility was way down. so we stayed in the house. we only caught 4 walleyes saturday night. i caught 3 from 6pm to 6:20pm one 12 inch one 14.5 and a gorgeous 17.5 that i let go, because i wanted a 18-19 inch to fill my last  fish. never did get that fish. missed alot of bites. they werent hitting very hard. had a good hook-up at aroun 1am, but broke off. felt like a real good fish. then at 4 i hooked up again with a 21inch fish that  was the biggest of the weekend, took a picture and let her go.. we took off for home around 10am. the ice house was awesome and we left it as we found it. we will be in touch with cookie again for a possible return trip in feb. thanks again!
