Jake has been busy while I went home to Wisconsin. The old dock to the east of the boat house hasn’t been being used for the last 2 years due to a storm wrecking it. It’s all brand new now and Jake does a great job on those projects. Over builds them like they should… Continue Reading

THE NORTHERN FISHING THIS YEAR SO FAR HAS BEEN THE BEST WE’VE SEEN IN OUR 13YEARS. THE OWEN/SESSEMEN GROUP CAUGHT DOZENS OF FISH OVER 30″ WITH MANY PUSHING 40″. WHAT THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE IS THE WEIGHT OF THE FISH. THEY ARE HUGE ACROSS THE BACK AND BIG BELLIES. YESTERDAY I GUIDED JOHN KRUKAR AFTER DINNER… Continue Reading
The lake is about a foot low on its level but nothing to worry about. I kinda like it this way. We had planned on having all new Yamaha motors this year. They’ve all been paid for and even delivered, then we found out they sent us short shaft motors instead of long. We had… Continue Reading
As I look out the office window it looks like a November day in Wisconsin. Windy, big waves, cool temps, I love it. Feels like hunting season. I think the 80s are gone for good hopefully. Next week his are all in the 60s so perfect for bear hunting. Fishing should take a little hit… Continue Reading

Our new bait this year has worked out great and their coming to the popcorn and mix like crazy. We have several new baits this year and all are getting hit hard.… Continue Reading

weather up here has been very cool for this time of year. Nights have been in the 30s and 40s and the day’s low 60s. Nice weather but the water temp is taking awhile to warm up. Starting to dry out so the walks to the portage lakes are too bad anymore. Except to Bear… Continue Reading
We have had a lot of rain in the last week but still the fire ban is on. The MNR has been on so many large fires west and north of here I think they want to get caught up before they take the ban off. The woods is soaking wet so I can’t imagine… Continue Reading
The camp is up and running. Always takes awhile to get all the boats and motors ready and everything repaired that got broke over the winter. A bear was in camp and made a big mess for us after we left last year. It got into everything. We’re lucky he didn’t do more damage. Water… Continue Reading
