Hope everyone is well. It has been a super busy summer for me with the boating industry.

Anyone ready to go for the season yet??

Cannot wait to spend time staring at a large rectangular hole. Gonna try to go to the first Get to Gator if I can as well. Will need to get some chains on the tires and new battery in the ATV. Hope its not 30 below. Gonna try to get my oldest son to go. He enjoyed poking a few last year for the pickling jar. Now he wants to try a get some filleters.

The decoy shop has slowed down quite a bit in the last few weeks. Getting things going for fall fishing and doing some minor improvements on my spear shack. Made the decision to leave the bow on the hook for this year with the change in deer hunting regs so I can focus more on hunting with the goose and doing more grouse hunting.

It will all be here before we know it.

I'm anxiously waiting for my new ice house frame I ordered to be done so I can start putting my shack together. I decided to finish some of the decoys that were left on the bench from last season while I wait. I have a pumpkinseed primed and ready along with a pike. Won't be long now!full-42297-48719-image.jpg

Been busy at work myself and now back to school. I had shoulder surgery in June and things are healing up nicely. I have turned out a couple spears and got a few orders for them as well I also was commissioned to build two shacks for a guide on Devils Lake along with two spears.

As for me being ready I am not even close grin but all it takes is 3 inches of ice and I'm on the hardwater!

Getting ready for another great season. I tore off the metal siding on the spear shack and installed exterior grade luan plywood. My house is now much lighter! my wife and I got kind of creative with the paint job!

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
