Early Ice Out Early Spring

[Steve Herbeck]

From All Reports Back At Camp The Boys Are All Saying It Could Be The Earliest Ice Out In 40+ Years.
Less Than 24" Of Ice And It's Been 40-60 Degrees Past Week With Sun And Warm Temps This Week.
Long Range Projections Are For An Early Spring And Warm May On.
Water Levels Are Excellent And With An Early Spring It Will Be An Excellent Late May June Fishing Season For Walleyes,bass,pike,and Lakers And Setting Up The Rest Of The Season For A Banner Year Especially For Big Muskies And Walleyes.
We Still Got A Few Great Spots Left For This Time Frame.
Give Us A Call For Specials And Availablity.
Spring Is On It's Way,people Are Getting The Itch With Bookings Starting To Spike So If You're Contemplating A Trip And Get Away Nows The Time To Get It Going If You Haven't Already.
Good Times And Great Fishing Are Awaiting!!!

Cant wait Herbie...we are a few months away until the pike bonanza begins...question: will #2 be waiting for us?

[shawn morse]

you know we love the early ice out and opening week!

[Steve Herbeck]

#2 will have banner on it welcoming you again!!!
the way it is progressing regarding weather,ice-out,and forcasts it bodes good news for those who are making or contemplating a may or june trip this year.
walleyes should be well past spawn and in predictable locations ,bass back on thier regular spawning/bedding routine after a couple cooler springs,trout will be the same as always cruising shorelines and shallow,slowly dropping deeper as the water warms,and in your case and specie choice weed growth should develop earlier than last year making the early june pike fishing much better and also more predictable with more big fish in shallow,as well as set up the musky opener in later june for a great start and if it is a good warm summer as predicted it could reach a peak for big fish quite possibly like we have never experienced thru the season.
for those looking in and thinking of an early trip in late may through june this is a good year to do it with less ice than normal and much warmer avg temps for this time of the season,we very well could have june weather as early as may.forget about that darn cool spring/june last year it was an abnormal deal.
regular fantastic late may/june fishing awaits you.
we still have some openings and specials,give us a call for current details,would be great to see you and show you a great time!!!

Hey Herbie, and everyone. It is most definately the earliest and warmest march i've ever seen... My dad has lived on Eagle since 1950 and he says he's never seen it this early. I was down at Bear Narrows yesterday and there is about 10-12" there, caught 18 eyes... Been fishing for eyes off of Swanson and Partridge point as well, and there's about 24" there. Can't wait for open water.

thanks for chiming in scotty,info from those on staff,in touch with whats going on up there on a day to day is priceless when i'm still down here in the states.
looking forward to bringing the ole gillesp,rob,pete,danny and the gang for johns last ice fishing episode next week,should be a great time,can't wait to see you all again,catch some fish,have a couple together and catch up and start our planning for the 2010 season.,
our ice down here is long gone. danny grabbed me this a/m and we went down to the mississippi just south of us by dubuque,we caught some eyes and saugers to around 4-5 # though most were 13-17". water was high,muddy,and cold but hey it's better than running around the country or sitting in the office like i been doing all winter.been starting to go stir crazy.even got a bit of sun burn!!
still it wasn't like being in canada but it got the itch started, won't be long!!
take care and i'll see ya in week or so.
