Merry Christmas

Would like to wish a merry Christmas to the people that post and follow this site.With the arrival of early winter right after Thanksgiving this year, it shut down any late season fishing.Hardly any posts lately.With the warm up lately maybe some hardy souls may get out and post here before the hard winter arrives.I did some winter organizing of my tackle boxes already and checked out our inline boards.Bought a large spool of Maxima ultra green in 15# test mono.Plan to take off 350′ on our 8 rods and splice in the new line and calibrate.Read that our lake had another great walleye hatch from the fall survey.Should provide continued great fishing in years to come.The 2026 season is only 3 months away now.Looking forward to getting back out on our lake this upcoming year.

Witch of November…

We’ve got a full blown November Gale going on today (Wednesday Nov. 26) through early Friday morning (November 28). Water levels will be way down, getting near low water datum. Possibly lower? Anyone thinking of getting out for the end of the Big Money tournement on Saturday or even Sunday (Sunday the winds get high again) should just end their season now. Waves up to 13 feet in the Western Basin, 19 feet in the Central, and 22 feet in the eastern part of the Central and the Eastern Basin.

Was going to go duck hunting at the Lake marshes tomarrow but decided not a good idea in 35-40mph gusts. Have heard not a lot of ducks flying earlier this week anyway.

Might head up to the Lake tomorow after pheasant hunting to see the low water levels and pick up the rest of the dock furniture. Be half way there anyway, so why not go take a look. If so will take the webcam and have it up live.

Lets hope anyone with a boat still in the water doesn’t get damage from sitting on the bottom for 24+ hours.

Kinda an appropriate way to end a strange, unordinary season.

Everyone have a nice, safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving.

Then… bring on the ice fishing in January (hopefully).

Ranger Boat Trailer Rim

Does anyone have an avenue on getting a replacement rim for my 2012 boat trailer?

Last weekend on the way home from a fishing trip, I pulled out of a gas station parking lot and blew a tire.

Get the tire off and the cause wasn’t the tire…. 3/4 of the backside of the rim was blown apart.

I’m thinking I hit a hole where my tire fell into the hole while the rim bounced off the concrete.

Thanks,

FF
