Amazed

I had a chance to drive around the Hillman's/Beacon's area yesterday and I was amazed at how well the fishermen had spread out and not crowded anyone else. Almost everyone was 200 to 300 yards from anyone else. Everyone was spread evenly across the lake with no ugly areas of fishermen crowded up. It was an impressive sight with that many fishermen out there and being spread out that good.

I picked a spot on my GPS and set up in the dark Friday night without being to see where everybody else was on the lake. Saturday when I went out and looked around it was pretty cool to see the distance in between every house. The lack of snow sure makes it nice to travel. We had so much fun up there Friday night that we left the house out on the lake and are headed back up this afternoon.

That is a good sign, especially if you can drive all over. Hopefully the days of villages springing up all over following the crappie bite are over. I love it late in the season when the only people you see all day are the Petrowskes, the retired trucker at the end of the road and maybe a wandering Moose.

I was also so amazed how well everybody was spread out and no one even set up right on top of me. It's nice to come up early on Fridays and get away from people and then all the late arrivals come sit right on top of ya.
