Arvid’s Fishing Report

Tuesday, I went with Tom and Glenn, the last two Bosch boys that are here, two Reliable Transport drivers, Mick and Gary and George, our local Track Support guy, for a day on the Lake. We made arrangements with Adrian’s Resort for two houses and transportation up off Knight and Garden Islands. We arrived at Adrian’s about 7:00 a.m., loaded our gear on the track van and proceeded on about a twenty mile ride across the ice that took about an hour. upon arriving at the first house we were greeted by a beautiful Bald Eagle sitting on the ice picking at some fish left by some other day fishermen. The driver, Roger, augered open the holes and Tom, George and I elected to stay at that house. The others left for another house a couple miles north. We fished in the house for the first couple of hours until the sun got up high and the temperature warmed. It turned into a beautiful day and the temperature got into the forties. Fishing was just as good; both houses got their limits of walleye and sauger and I would guess that maybe twice that many were released. There were periods during the day that the fishing was slow, but overall it was a great day.

I love her anyway!

Those weather forecasters are not alway right. I just got through snow blowing about 4″ of flurries off the driveway.

Saturday afternoon I went with three of the Bosch boys, Tom, Glenn and Brian to the Lake. We had two reports; one had pretty good fishing way out, like up to ten miles off Pine, but that bite is earlier in the day. The other had a bite in about eighteen feet out in front of the Gap and that’s what we had to opt for. We went out of Adrian’s access and took the road towards the Gap. We found the water depth we wanted and drilled our holes, but what we didn’t find was many fish. We ended up with three nice walleyes and six sauger; mostly small. I thought that we were going to have to spend the night, but Tom finally caught one and we were able to leave. We have to give Brian credit for letting the big one get away. It took his rod and reel while he was over visiting Glenn; consolation was that it was his poorest reel that he lost.
