I didn't even know you were out there. We spent 3 days working on the cabin. No fishing. Saw a few caught though. I, myself, brought a nice fish into one shanty do to my extreme "fish whispering"! The weather was reasonable, the lake was talking loud at times and I had a great time. Need more ice and snow! 10 inches of snow is not enough to float a machine in the woods.

Well our shack is within ear shout of Dirt's cabin. Nice to meet you mike. We will be back up there this weekend to put a couple Important shelfs and needs in the shack. Trying to decide if we should move a little farther north into deeper water. No burbot, first trip ever without a burbot on the line. Sounds like Iced had a good one on that just schooled him :) Good luck and remember lake trout are the fish of a thousand jigs, and if that doesn't work, bring whitefish.

Nice to meet you and chat a while. I figured you boys went to the lodge for prime rib, got all liquered up and missed the shanty on the way back. ;) I was up until 2 AM Saturday night wiring the inverter in. Never saw you come in..... and you were gone in the AM..... Hugh said he saw movement out there early. You might try closer to my place along the front of those cabins to the north of me.

The inverter/engine controller crapped the bed. $600 part. Not worth fixing unless I find someone with a bad engine. It appears that a capacitor blew out. It is in a metal finned mount covered with the poly stuff. Been looking at trying to fix it. Unfortunately, I cannot read the specs on it and the schematic does not give them. If anyone has ideas on how to fix this....

I didn't even fish. I know, I know.... I am a slacker. I had some stuff to do at the cabin.

Hey fish whisperer I knew you should of done a dance around my hole.  I think the fish might like bad dancing.  I did catch 2 at that spot Sun.  Iced definitely had the fish of the weakend but his spoon was tangled in his line so he couldn't get a good hook set.  I saw the bend in his rod and it looked big.  All in all managed 9 lakers and 1 burbot, biggest laker was only 26" but still had fun.  Gonna go back next weakend maybe for an extended stay.
I was born an Alaskan I just didn't live here at the time.

If you guys keep picking on the old man, he will show up with his chicken feet from the Phillipines and do a little chant! ;)

Glad to hear that you had a bit of success. My gear is almost ready. I just had to install an inverter and do some wiring to test it. They guy that I got it from is very patient and was going to give me a refund if it was bad. It works like a champ!

I understand. You were looking out for my health. You really didn't want a helicopter to show up to pick up the guy with the broken hip. It might scare the fish anyways......
