Hello Sportsfans. And welcome to the weekly spin here on Minnesota’s Lake of the Woods.
Baby it is cold outside… Matter of fact the truck thermometer was reading -30 degrees this morning. Thankfully the fishing has been warming up.
What’s the latest and greatest? Well, we’re about five weeks into this winter season and we’re raising some eyebrows, along with some fish. Walleyes, saugers, perch…
When the Carlson Group checked out last night they said: “This is the best fishing trip we’ve been on to LOW.” Well, thanks gang, that’s the response we like to hear! And also, it’s a huge kudos to Nick and our team on the lake for their efforts in the chase.
Relentless, relentless, relentless… For some is just might be “fishing”, but for our guys it’s their livelihood. And it’s one that is taken quite personally… Good fishing, bad fishing, or anything in-between, it seems like our guides are always trying to be better. And when you get a compliment, like the one from the Carlson Group, it means a great deal. So thanks again, much appreciated!
We have moved north… The entire fleet… And if you haven’t already been facebooked, or tweeted, or twitted, or whatever it is that we all do in this day and age… Then “yes”, our fishing is much improved.
Even though it’s early January we are already a long-long way from Pine Island and the Lighthouse Gap, traveling by Bombardier, fishing for the moment in what seems to be one of the few areas in the basin that is holding decent numbers of fish. It’s interesting… And intriguing at the same time.
Nick mentioned: “We might actually be in an area that we can hold-up, spread-out, and catch some fish for awhile.” As opposed to the last five weeks (let’s just call it all of December) running hard and wearing the wood off the bottom of the skids.
How many times did our guides’ move (50) fish houses since the day we started the ice season? A gazillion…
Why is the north-end of Big Traverse Bay holding good numbers of fish, as opposed to the south-shore? Good question…
January is here and it’s going to be a boomer. We are looking forward to having you join us. Good times.
Set the hook!
