Well lets start this off with i'm an idiot?.  Went fishing last Saturday afternoon/evening on Long Lake in Richmond and did pretty good.  Thought I would leave the house overnight and come back, fish a little bit and it get it Sunday morning.  Needless to say the winds wiped out all "roads" out to the house by Sunday morning and I can't make it there.  I really need someone who is willing to plow a road back out so I can get it off by Next Monday.  Willing to pay for time and effort please PM me if interested.

 

Thanks!

You may want to take a tip from another poster who was stranded on a lake last weekend  too, IMO. He ended up calling a nearby business & found out who did their plowing. Got a #, made a call,  turned out they lived only a few blocks away & soon were there to get him out.  After > 8 hours of struggling, he was finally able to get off the lake. :cool:

i was born and raised in richmond, currently live in cold spring, but for the life of me i dont know anyone with a plow right of the top of my noggin.

 

i'd suggest stopping at corky's or haffleys and ask around, or even channel marine or the gas station on 23??????????

Thanks guys, I think I will give channel marine a call and see if they know anyone.  Ill get it done one way or another.  There are two other houses near me and I imagine they are in the same predicament

There are a few guys locally that have plows and do some plowing. Casey owner at Channel Marine has a plow and a 3500 Chevy pickup he may be able to help. Another two guys I know that do  local plowing are Chuck Merten, Casey or Jeff at channel Marine should have his number and Chuck Schmitz excavateing. Good luck hope it works out.

If you know the other guys with houses contact them you all three could split the cost as Im sure they will need support also. I Assume you are out by The N islands? Another option you would have and is probably closes access is call George at Cozy corners he may be able to help you out I know he has a truck with a plow also. Morris Grossinger locally has a skid steer with a blower and he also does snow removal not sure if he would be willing to take a chance on the ice with it. Hopefully some of these options work for you sure one of them will.

MC's Lawn and Landscaping does our commercial properties in the St. Cloud area, but he's from the Richmond area and I know he plows a few drives on Elkview Cir.  Maybe try him out??

      2024-2025 Vermilion Ice Fishing

      By JerkinLips · Posted

      Monday was my worst day of winter fishing on Vermilion in the last 4 years.  Caught only one 14" walleye in nearly 8 hours of fishing.  Missed two other bites and was marking very few fish.  Maybe the fish were taking Monday off after a big weekend.   No more water came up on the ice under my house.  Think it was because I haven't banked snow around it for a couple of weeks so the bare ice around the house is getting very thick.  I measured 38" of ice under my house and the Ion barely made it through even with the extension installed.  Needless to say I banked around the house this time.  Another lesson I learned today is don't drill holes if ice is frozen on your blades.  I did that on one hole and it didn't center properly and drilled at an angle on the edge of the opening.  Hope I can correct the location and angle on my next trip up.   Not much change in the surface lake surface conditions.  The drifts may be a little higher and are definitely harder.  There are still a few bare ice spots on the lake.  Very little activity on the lake today.  There are about 3 dozen houses from McKinley Park out to Birch Island.  Another person pulled there house off today, and I am sure many more will pull theirs off this coming weekend.  Only 13 days left of walleye season.

      Great looking food. So far not much of a game and I thought the halftime show was worse I've seen.
