HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN????????
Above is a photo of a friend of ours from Atlanta Georgia. He currently has been missing from Canada for a few years now and we believe he may miss this year again. His friends are asking for our help to locate him and get his butt back up to Canada. When not under the influence of Beam, he can really strike the fear of god into those fish (i think Micheal still had to bait his hook for him though)! So if you get a chance, leave a post as to why MARTY S should come back to Canada and visit with his friends. hahaha. What you get for staying home to become an interior decorator Marty, you should be fishing.
All jokes aside, it's the beginning of the 2010 campaign and so far it's HOT. Not just the fishing, but the weather. Oh my god, we have had better weather for the last month then we did throughout all of MAY, JUNE, JULY, and August last year.
We are getting a small shower this morning, but it is definitely needed to raise the water level a bit. Water level right now is approx. 2 feet off of map level. But if we get some moisture then the lake will start coming up. Should be a good year for Duck hunting this Fall though, get some good Wild Rice growing.
The boys have been in fishing for Lake Trout so far. Steve S from the South end of the lake came up with three of his buddies and WOW, all I can say, WOW!!! Friday night, four guys, 22 Lake Trout. Saturday, Four guys, 61 Lake Trout. And Sunday Morning, Four guys, 32 Lake Trout. A weekend total of 115 Lake Trout for Four guys. Saturdays total works out to almost a fish every 8 - 10 minutes for a 8 to 10 hour day.
Walleyes are hitting good. A little deeper still, anywhere from 38 to 50 feet. STeve Hoff and Alex were up fishing for the week and seem to find an active school of Walleyes up by Chisolm as Steve was telling me how for ten straight fish his jig never hit bottom. NOW that is a good time!!
Smallies are getting aggressive already as well. Had a guiding afternoon with the Sackett's from IL and we decided to sneak into one of my favourite eaerly season bass spots. Well what a blast that was. Top water Torpedos and we were hauling them in. Dave got a nice four lbs Largie in the mix as well. You can't beat top water Bass, just an unbelievable experience and I would suggest that when you are up here you give it a shot.
Got one of the new boats in on Friday, it's looking sharp. hoping the new tiller will be in on Tuesday as Monday is a holiday here.
Guideboat has had the floors redone and a new kicker put on it. REally comfortable for fishing now adn can't wait to get some groups going out.
And if you haven't heard. I took the opportunity with the nice weather this Spring to gut the fishhouse walls and redo the tables and sinks and put in a new fillet system. Hopefully it makes everones approval.
Trying to get as much done as we possibly can. REdid the roof on cabin ten, redid the porch as well. Bunch of painting. repairing the road and hill. sealing in the driveway. New filtration system for the water. New septic field. New boats. We're trying and we really appreciate everyone for having patience with us as Millie and I get as much updated and changed over. We love all of our guests and can't wait to see you from year to year.
Please feel free to drop us an email anytime, Crawford@kmts.ca , to chat or to update us on what is going on in your lives.
I hope this rain stops, maybe I'll get out fishing for a bit today.
Hope everyone is having a good week and have fun this memorial day weekend.
Matt and Violet, Millie, and Theresa
