Had the chance to get out the last couple of days as my old high school buddies were up for our annual Spring fishing get together. We fished mainly late afternoon and evening, weather was cool and calm on Friday evening and cold and windy on Saturday evening. Both nights produced at least a...

Beautiful area Skiroule

That's an awesome story Darren, one of the best I have heard in quite some time. Nice job!

Jim, totally agree with you on the fishing groups that limit out in the morning and night. That is an issue and the DNR does need to get more involved in the management of the walleye population structure. I can say that in our area the WI DNR is pretty involved in Vilas and Oneida Counties and...

Thanks Pete, we have a good group of guys up here that get involved.

Thanks Mezz! and congrats to you as well!!

Thanks Skiroule, and yes those fish are something that not many people would ever see live or yet be fortunate to catch and release. For me, When I hear someone say "The fishing isn't the same anymore or there are not many walleye in the chain anymore" I smile to myself and say that if you want...

Brian, I get where you are coming from. I personally have never seen the Indians spearing but it is fact that they have their lakes and they do spear. It is their tradition and it is a fact that it does affect the repopulation in our area. I spoke with a very informed gentleman out of the...

Pete, they spear our chain every year, Lac Du Flambeau Tribe. We worked with the DNR this year as they were doing an all out survey of our chain and it was very educational. When Indians spear they typically mostly take male walleyes, reason why is the mating process, the males wait on the...

We started netting on Monday this week with the DNR taking the lead as they are surveying our entire chain. Due to water temps in different lakes some females had already spawned, some with green/hard (not ready yet) and others like the 30” 11lb in picture was full of eggs. Along with this one...

Sweep, I would assume the ice is out on Big St. Germain as ours went out on 4/19 up here in Manitowish.

Good for you Brian, just got back from Florida (Siesta Key) yesterday afternoon. Was 34 when we got back. Beautiful sunshine this morning and the clean up list is filled up and piers and lifts go in this week as the ice went out on 4/18 right on time. 85 and sunny, no humidity on the Gulf all...

Good Stuff, have used it for years

This was my place in Oconomowoc, 2 acres, I used Scott’s turf builder and sprayed ortho weed killer. Had a John Deere 54” cut, I found that I needed my 2 hours on mower every week. It was therapeutic.

Brian, my yard work is mainly doing piers, shorestations, etc. Will be doing some cleanup from the Thanksgiving Storm which really brought a lot of stuff down and is still buried, 40 and sun today, rain tomorrow, who knows when ice will go out this year. I'm going to predict we are about two...

Same here Rev, I think I mowed my little patch of grass 4 times last year whether it needed it or not. I like not having any yardwork. When the snow finally melts it will be quite a bit of work cleaning up the mess that Mother Nature left after the Thanksgiving storm that left quite a mess. It's...

Ha, still plenty of snow on the ground here, it's 6 degrees as I speak. Gonna be awhile, but don't have a lot of yardwork to do up here, it's all natural just the way I like it.

Heck, there is still a good 24-30" of ice on the lake at this point. This stuff is not going anywhere soon unless it warms up and rains, it's looking like another May ice out which is at least 2 weeks behind schedule. I'm so ready for nice weather to get here.

Yep, Lots of years making a stop at the Sky View, always nice with the fire burning and the bar was full. Seems like it's just really tough for bars and restaraunts to make it these days up here during the winter, although this winter finally was a boom for them. Hotels up here last season were...
