The Walleye action picked up some Friday evening, and by Saturday when the weather system moved in improved.  Best action from reports I heard yesterday as customers were leaving was Friday night, Saturday and Saturday night until the snow quit. Then a little flurry Sunday at daybreak. It was fast and furious for a few on Saturday evening, but for most is was an overall good weekend. Very few had no luck at all.

There are some changes that are going to happen here for the rest of this winter and going into next season. Just over the last week we have had 20 new wheelhouse customers sign up and pay for the full season.  They want to stay here because they like the way we run our business.  They like that we limit the number of wheelhouses out on weekends so everyone has their own space. They like that we insist everyone is out on the lake before dark so they is not people driving around trying to find a spot into the late evening on a Friday and screwing up others fishing.  They like having a safe place to store their wheelhouse when they leave, along with other reasons. So for that reason there will be no more week by week storage and access. You can come for the weekend, sign up on our list, (that is limited to 50 per weekend) on Tuesday and get a spot and take your house home when you go.  Wheelhouse customers that store here will be seasonal customers, and pay the seasonal rate.  Like many already have.  Fishermen like what we do here.  And I personally do not want to see Mille Lacs turn into a “Red Lake” type scenario like some places are leaning towards.  That’s not fishing in my book.

The weekend list start Tues am @7:00

Keep a Tight Line !          Eddy
