Weekend Report

[reelemin]

It was put on by Barb Carey, she offically open her own guide service last summer. She has posted on here a few times.

There was about 25 of us.

We should plan a womens GTG up there sometime and invite some of the WI women.

They are also just waiting for an invite to fish Mille Lacs with us --

Well, we posted about the June women's GTG in June but no one has responded except the original 7.

[Lisa Almquist]

Were you the only Minnesotan, Tami?

I would be great to have more women join the our annual GTG in June. What a great weekend that was!

[Iambjm]

Wow, Lisa you are the top poster for the day. So far..............

[Lisa Almquist]

Wow! I don't think I've ever done that before! Not sure if I feel proud or embarrassed that I was on here that much and didn't get the chores done today!! I'm sure not for long though, you're right....

One other women from Duluth was there.

[Lisa Almquist]

I did a search on Barb Carey. She looks great in Arctic Armor! Is guiding her full time job Tami? She is one busy lady with her fish camps too.

[reelemin]

Yea - but she gets a pension - she was injured as a cop. She is alot of fun and really knows her fishing!

[Lisa Almquist]

She has some great pics too! Lots of smilin' happy women. Wouldn't that be fun to fish everyday AND make money doing it? She's livin' the dream!

Well I did the overnighter last night but it wasn't in tropical weather like Lisa and Jim had.

I spent the night in my Frabill Fortress out on "Big Lake Winnipeg." I only moved once yesterday afternoon. Mainly because the winds were 20 to 30 mph and wind chills were almost 30 below zero F.

The other reason that I didn't move much is because walleyes were under my house all afternoon and evening yesterday.

Landed about 12 walleyes between 15 and 22 inches; all in 9 fow under the ice. Kept a couple of 17s and released the rest.

I reeled in the lines last night at about 8:30 pm and Dezi the Dog and I snuggled up on my cot. The BiG Buddy Heater did its job by keeping us toasty.

The more or less full moon was really pretty along with residential lights flickering along the east and west shores of Lake Winnipeg.

Lines were back in the holes at 6:30 this morning. First mark on the Vex at 6:45 but no takers until 7:20. Caught another 7 or 8 walleyes this morning. Kept 2 more eaters and released the rest. Packed up and left at 10 am.

I'll be doing that again sometime but hopefully the weather will be more agreeable.

[Lisa Almquist]

Still sounded like one heckuva good time gatorhunter! I'm in awe of the shear numbers you caught. Seemed like there wasn't a dull moment!

It was really neat to be in the middle of a lake with only the moon out and a couple houses lit way in the background. I loved that part too. I felt like it was something pretty special.

[Iambjm]

I tried to get out on the ice and plow the shoreline by my place yesterday, got stuck again. Heavy wet snow, but I winched her out. So I was going to go out fishing today from a neighbors access, and I got 15 feet out on the ice and could go no further. I actually got scared and it was like I couldn't breath, kinda like a panic attack. This is what it looked like, I have walked out on the ice before when there has been water on it but couldn't do it today.

[Lisa Almquist]

That lake looks pretty freaky Barb!!

[glenn57]

so how are the lakes holding up? headed up hopefully thurs nite and over to winnie. keep me posted please. thanks!

I was out on a little lake just north of Chisholm and the ice was fine, just 2 to 3 inches of water on the top of the ice. The access was still pretty good as it is shaded most of the day, so I am hoping it will hold up for a couple more trips.
