Believe it or not we are still out there with roads.  The bite for Tullibee and Perch has been slow the last four days with sub-zero mornings and teens for highs.  A week ago when the weather was warmer fishing was pretty good and this weekend when it warms up again I’ll bet they will go again.

Ice is not a problem, most are drilling to the handles when they go out there and the cold weather has froze any wet spots on the roads solid and the going is really good.  Off the roads are a different story.  Still there is 6 to 16 inches of snow that is hard and easy to get stuck in if you don’t have 4WD.  but I have alot of places to pull off to park and find a spot to fish.

I’m going to be at the NW Sportshow this weekend. (first time Lybacks Marine actually has a booth!) so the boss will be running the show up here at home. (Cindy)  Please call ahead the night before coming up so she can get a worker to check roads if we get snow, or plow spots for wheelhouses if needed.  (320-676-8740)  With the forecast coming this weekend I want everyone that want to come up to be ok.

Keep a Tight Line!

The last couple days we had fishermen out, but there wasn’t too much activity with the Perch bite, but Tullibee action was ok.  Last evening I opened up more roads to different areas so this weekend fishermen can move around a little more and try different spots.

I still want 4WD vehicles only even thought the roads as getting better than worse with the cooler weather we’ve had. (Pretty crazy year it’s been….) I’m pretty sure we will be driving into April now after hearing next weeks forecast today.

Today strong west -northwest winds started around noon and chased everyone off with the snowfall we had again this am.  But so far it doesn’t appear to be drifting much.  So tomorrow should be pretty good out there when the winds die.

Keep a Tight Line!!

This morning after having 6- 8 inches of snow I went out and opened the road to the “Tullibee Hole” .  The farther out I went the better it was.  i was only able to make a pass out and back before I went to the marine shop and one fishermen went out, tried to get off the road and got stuck.  But where he was trying to go he shouldn’t have.

Tonight after work I went out and widened the main road. Out in the fishing areas, plowed spots for fishermen to pull off to the side, turn around, or find a spot to set-up a portable. It is actually pretty good out there despite all the snow we’ve had this winter. What areas on the main road that had water and rough spots last weekend, froze solid and getting out there is really good going.  I still want 4WD vehicles only out there as I’m not around during the day to pull anyone out, and if you use common sense it will be just fine.  With the cooler weather coming after this weekend, I think we are going to make another week yet!  Pretty amazing….this will be the second year that I’ve been plowing out there the  on the first day of Spring!  This just might be another year I’m fishing with two lines on the opener on ice, although I’m not counting on it yet!!

A bunch of fishermen are going out tomorrow so I will let you know how the bite is tomorrow evening.  I’m hoping I have good news…..

Keep a Tight Line!
