UPDATE!!! The ice is out, the docks are in, boats are on the water and the cabins are clean. We're ready for opener.
I want to extend a tremendous "THANK
YOU" to my "Work Week" volunteers. Ten people gave up
their weekend to help us get the resort ready for opener.
They raked leaves, split firewood, built a 50' wall to create a
new area for our horseshoe pit, and, most important, spent 5
hours in ice cold water installing all the docks.
For Mike Vogt and Darrin Larson, it was
their second year for work week. At least they didn't have
to wheelbarrow ten yards of black dirt this year.
Dick and Linda Myhrman were here for
their first "Work Week". I almost had to pry the rakes out
of their hands to slow them down.
Al and Matt Roehl were here for their
15th year of helping to install docks. I can't thank them
enough for all the time they have given to help each spring and
fall. Al's other son, Greg, is usually part of the crew
but he stayed home this year for his son's birthday party.
Craig Martinson is here for his 3rd or
4th year. Craig actually takes a weeks vacation to come
here and work around the resort.
Rollie Stoehr is also here for his 3rd
year. Rollie is retired and is able to come to watch the
resort for me when I take off for a few days of fishing myself
Craig and Rollie are here for most of
the week. They like to get some work done early in the day
and then hop in their boats to chase crappies. Crappies
haven't started biting yet but should soon.
Finally, my brother Bruce and
brother-in-law Lyle Boeshart were here also. Over the
years, they responded to my need for help many times and I sure
appreciate it.
Once again, thanks to everyone.
Even with the late start to the season, we're up and ready to go
because of all your help.
Vital Update!!!!! May
8th
Great news. The crappies just
started to bite. After patiently fishing each night this week
with no success, both Craig and Rollie found crappies moving
into the muddy boat channels Wednesday night, May 7. And
they were nice fish, too. Here's Craig with 4 beauties.
And even better news (for me), Craig
didn't want to clean them so guess what Donna and I are having
for dinner tonight!!! We should have great crappie and
bluegill fishing for the next several weeks now.
See you at the lake.
