Lundman's weekend

[Steve Foss]

Hey Lundman:

Got the whole weekend before me with fishing plans wide open. Are you fishing this weekend? Wanna hook up?

And anyone else out there, how's the luck been the last couple weeks? Finding any decent bites?

Hi Cat,
I was just wondering where you been, fishing, I presume...hehehe.
Actually, this weekend would be a good time to hook up. I was on the river today, tried walleyes first, no go, cruised over to Kimbals, not much going there either, ended the day at Mclures. Came home with three nice perch, and two good crappies. Tasty supper it was indeed for Lundman. Yum!!
Anyway, Sat. would be best for me. From what I can gather from talking to a few guys today, it's been rather slow on the river. If you have any other ideas, let me know, I'm game for anything. Don't let transportation get in your imagination's way either, there is still not enough snow to impede three wheeler travel, so I can bring the sled, and the wheeler, if need be. Let me know what you want to do. Have a super bowl thing to do at a buddies house on Sunday, so, Saturday would be best.

Hey there Lundman:

Yep, been fishing. Went to our cabin on Lake Beltrami near Bemidji weekend before last, and fished Upper Red same extended weekend. Did well both places. Came home from Red with crappie limits, me and a buddy. No fishing last weekend. Had to go back to the town we moved here from to close with the buyers of our house there. So I'm primed and ready to hit the ice.

I've been looking to get a little more ambitious and explore farther from town. I've been looking at the Pike Chain, the Eau Claire chain and Lake Owen, all in Bayfield County. Not a long drive, really. On Owen, there are some nice shallow humps and bars on the western "ear" of the north section, not far from the public landing, say the maps. They come up to as shallow as 3 feet in 20 feet of water, with 55 feet nearby. That's where I'd go if I had no wheels. But with on-ice wheels/sled, Eau Claire or Pike Chain look good, too. I'd decided on Owen before your post. But wherever, I was planning to get going by 8 a.m. Saturday. Also, Owen is so clear (26 feet) that there should be a good evening or night bite if the fish are found. With the Coleman lantern, nite bites are fun. There are cribs on the Eau Claire chain (Middle Eau Claire, I believe) that are good for night-bite walleyes, and I've got a new GPS unit I'm playing with, but I don't have coordinates for those cribs.

But if you're up for a little travel and maybe a little evening fishing, we could meet Saturday morning and decide then which we want to tackle. I reckon there's plenty of snow for sleds in Bayfield Cty.

What do you think? If you'd rather stay closer to home, we can do that too, though it sounds like the river/bay are getting a little stale for you. And there's ALL that water to the east and south.

Shoot me an e-mail or reply on post. I'll be out much of today, and work from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. (I get e-mail at work just fine). If it's OK with you, we can set a time and meeting place. Looks like we both live in Superior. I'm near the corner of Hammond and 21st.
