Just got back from there last night. Yep, 34' about 12 miles out. Only fished one morning for about 2 1/2 hrs. I was snowmobiling most of the time. Caught 10 sauger kept 4 for supper and a 26 and a 23 eye kept 0. I marked the fish up about 6'off the bottom went up for them, bam... gold and glow pink. Pulled alot of fish off the bottom but it was tought to get em to grab it.<BR>For those of you that know Richard from Riverbend. He got rear ended in the bomber by a snowmobile going at 100 mph on Monday. I know thats how fast he was going because I found the dash board with the speedometer froze at impact. Hit so hard it bent the axel on the bomber and ripped the track off. The guy is going to be ok but he is pretty busted up. There was nothing left of that machine just parts and pieces it was like it exploded. It was amazing that he didn't get killed. Sure freeked Richard out.

Thanks for the info. guys. That guy is real lucky to be alive the way it sounds. I think that would shake anybody up.

Thanks for the update guys from Riverbend. Headed up a week from tomorrow. Save a few for me.<P>It sounds like somebody was awfully lucky plowing into that track van at that speed. I can imagine Richard was a little shook up. Probably had a really stiff drink that night.<P>BobD: Enjoy that cold one, seriously, tell Glenn I'll pick it up next Thursday night when I come in off of the lake. He trusts me!!!!! Good luck guys and hang on. Bill

Heading up there this weekend. Does anybody have a report from Riverbend and do you know how far out there houses are. I've been there before and know Glenn quite well. I was just looking for a report.

[BobD]

Here goes Bill, 11 of us fri & sat. We kept 112 fish all shacks were about equal, sister in law got a 28", going on the wall for her, my sis caught and released a 26", way to go girls!!!!anything gold or glow seemed to work the best, pound the bottom and lift up 1 to 2 feet wait you'll see them on the vex coming for it. you need to Richard or Glenn what that 28" was caught on(lol).good luck to you when you get up there.

Hey nice job BobD. Sounds like one heck of a time. Now you've really got the juices flowin'. Two to go.<P>How many credit cards do I need to bring along to clear the bar tab? I really do hope you took me serious and had one though.<P>Thanks for the update. I'll put a report together on Sunday 2/29, I sure hope its coomparable to yours.<P>Great fish the girls caught I'll bet there was plenty of jumpin' for joy after those babies were iced. <P>Wonder what Rich or Glenn will charge me for the info on the secret lure? LOL Thanks again, Bill

[BobD]

Bill,I didn't have one , you are awful good for offering though,THX. sorry about the missed words sometimes, fingers don't work with the mind all the time,,,,,and the lure; and the lure; awwwww you just have to wait(LOL), go get em!

[ole]

You guys should try that lure with a stinger hook, that way when the fish comes in to check it out he will find the meaty end of the set instead of bumping his nose on your lure, It really does work great!!

BobD: I'm sure I'll get some raspberries from those guys when we arrive. <P>A friend of mine was at Riverbend at the time of the Bomber/Sled accident. he was in the bomber right in front of Richard. It happened around 445PM, still plenty of light outside. They figured the sled driver was going to pass the bomber and didn't realize because of the snow cloud that he was right on his tail. Tough deal,<P>Are you headed back up again this year? Bill

[BobD]

Bill; No i don't think I'll make it up again this year,unless i need to haul a p/u load of stuff to warroad, other than that, i won't make it. wish i could though.

[bturck]

BobD: Was hoping to maybe catch up with you and buy that cold one in person. perhaps next year. I have four trips reserved already beginnig on 12/26. I'll let you know if we get into anything this weekend and how that secret lure worked...Bill
