Two updates. 3/1/2019Unbelievable day weather wise. No wind, warm and saw lakers all day. Only got 1 and missed the hook set on 3. Flew the drone for a bit. Left the lake early to work on the Argo track. Getting good at taking off and putting on the track after so many times doing it. 3/2/2019Another calm day. Overcast, warm and again no wind. Fishing was slow. Did manage to get one. Flew the drone. Hindsight I should of packed my sleeping gear. Currently 28f, no wind. Beautiful night to sleep out. Gonna give it a few more hours then call it a day.
Ah that explains it Capt. We hollered out to you but no answer. Mowbizz, the track guides were rubbing the tire sidewalls. I went through one tire and another was getting weak. Argo Adventures is a good place to get parts and talk to Ed. Anyways we’ve been trying a few things. Tighten up the track, loosening the track, tire pressure. What seemed to work the best is silicone lubricant spray from liquid wrench. Spray on the sidewalls only.
What a gorgeous day Friday! Fished in a T-shirt. Slow fishing till around 4pm. From 4-4:45 I caught 3 lakers. All released to fight again. Only got pictures of 2. Nothing this morning. Couldn’t sign off, radio died. Had to be home early so left around 11:00.
Very nice Captain. Let me know your schedule this week Bamb308 and I would like to make another stop at the Dark Side to try to find our minds that we lost there the last time we were there.

Planning to be out this weekend. Not sure what happens to you two when you visit. Bamb308 is a bad influence. That being said you're both welcome any time.
Hey, Capt.Who's the happy guy in the pic?
Sorry CD.I’m not allowed to comment on this picture other than to say it was the “catch” of the day! 😉
3/10/2019Another great night to sleep out. No wind. Only a few cusk but all were small and released. Woke up and clouds were moving in and low. Created a complete white out for most of the day. Started snowing around 8am and pretty heavy. Managed to get a 22” Laker and another small one. From out of no where I hear a knock on my door. It was a guy who got his truck stuck driving on the lake. Was planning to go to Pasquaney bay from Wellington but due to the amount of snow decided to stop at Whittemore point. Then got stuck and needed a shovel or some help. I radioed Tippin and Pyscho and the 3 of us got him moving along, getting stuck every so often all the way back to Wellington. We helped him all the way there. Wish they wouldn’t drive out in their trucks, not a fan. He did mention that the funny part is he has a snowmobile. Didn’t laugh. Took me away from getting another laker that I was playing with. I showed him on the fish finder while I got dressed (bibs, boots etc). Was planning to stay in my PJ’s all day. Good deed done and back to fishing. Hated to but left the lake around 4pm to go back to the real world.
