Phil's Words of Wisdom ? & Reports
Monday , March 8, 2010
15 degree at 7:30 AM with bright blue skies. 53 degrees and sunny predicted fot today!
I'm not sure what happened to March coming in like a lion but above average temps and sunny skies seem to be the norm. More sun and warm temps have had the snowmobile trails melt down. I still think we'll get another blast of winter....but it is not in the immediate forecast. The ice fishermen were reporting good catches last weekend and quite a few cases of sunburn! Still trucks driving all over the lake.
Panfish only now until May 1st as game fishing is CLOSED!
The days are getting longer and the blue skies make the Northwoods look beautiful every morning with the frozen ice crystals on all the trees.
Kids Fishing Jamboree was a big hit as most everyone caught fish and the kids all got prizes.
Frosty Club Radar Run at Bent's Camp had over 1000 people show up--GREAT CONDITIONS!
We missed Deb and Skip Data who are key volunteers but we made it work without you.
I rode on Lac Vieux Desert the other day with Davey and we came upon a lone coyote that we raced--the Ski-Doo won but that coyote was fast.
Lee VandenElzen and Co. caught dozens of northern and some walleyes in their "secret spot". The colder weather has hardened everything up nicely.
The skating rink turned out nice and has been busy with skaters and games of hockey.
The grouse hunters did very well both in WI and MI.
Lots of shots were heard over the lake every morning--must be some happy duck hunters. Deer season not so much.
Musky season opens May 15, 2010
All the big fish this fall were caught on suckers.
Joe Mama was up several weekends in October and caught / released a 41, 42,43 & 48 incher - all on suckers.
Mike Rozgony got a fat 42 incher and a 39 incher--he braved some of the worst weather of the season so he deserved it.
Sunrise guests have landed over 50 muskies in Oct. with a 49 incher taking the cake.
Dr. David Faulds from Louisville, KY is now a musky addict after boating a fat 38 incher and a dandy 46 inch tiger fishing with Gregg Mallick.
The 2010 Sunrise Vacation Planners have been mailed and you should have gotten yours.
If for some reason you did not get one - let us know and we will be happy to send you one right away.
Good News! Trackside will be renting ski boats next season.
The Thunder Bay boat landing project is complete.
Doug Kostuch boated and released a beautiful 30 pound fish a couple weeks back.
We planted over 2000 10-15 inch muskies off the Sunrise pier.
They sure are frisky little critters.
Congrats to David Faulds and his 50 inch musky he caught with Gregg Mallick this November--a nice buck and a trophy musky!!
HE DOES IT AGAIN
Row trolling on November 11, 2009 Tom Gelb of Conover catches and releases this 52 1/2 inch fish.
Late season fishing seem to produce the big ones!
 
Pat Lamer caught this Tiger Musky on August 31, 2009 Mark Miller had success the first week of July, 2009.
Nice stringer of panfish caught by the Roach family (Lisa, Tony & Mike)
Come on up and try your luck.
The Lac Vieux Desert Lake Association planted over 5,000 8-10 inch walleye this fall.
It was quite a site to see all these fish being put into the lake.
That should help the walleye fishing and they will be legal fish within 2 years.
The Lac Vieux Desert tribe of Chippewa Indians is developing a fish hatchery on the east end of the lake.
 
Nick & Chandler Cirricione & Bill Streeter and the group
Show us some of the very nice fish that were caught this season.
 
David Faulds and his 46 inch Tiger Jack Wrench and a nice stringer
caught in October 2009. caught in September
Phil's weather, fishing and snowmobiling report!
Ice fishermen are happy as the fishing good and the weather awesome. Snowmobilers...not so much. I don't think anyone can ride unless Mother Nature dumps a bunch of snow on us. Second good season in a row came to a premature ending....unless.
Plum Creek Timber had their annual ice fishing "meeting" this weekend and had beautiful weather and great fishing.
A 7 pound walleye was the big winner.
Game fishing season closed March 1st on Lac Vieux Desert and March 8 on WI lakes and March 15 on Michigan lakes.
Lakes are now safe so all the scenic routes are now accessible but the trails are so nice that you don't want to take a shortcut..
SUNRISE LODGE is the place to be for
FOUR SEASON VACATION FUN!

Phil's Weekly Words of Wisdom?:
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
BRETT DOES IT AGAIN!
It took Brett a while but he ended his Viking season the same way he ended his last Packer Season--making a terrible decision that cost his team in the playoffs. He had a hell of a season and took a lot of punishment in that game agains the Saints but......
CONGRATULATIONs TO THE SAINTS!
Davey and I had GREAT time at the MNF game at Lambeau vs the Ravens.
An exciting game and all the Lambeau leaps were in our end zone.
It wasn't too cold but the Tundra was officially frozen.
Bob W better back up the beer truck after the Packers pummeled his beloved Bears.
How about them Bears being so nice to the Packers with all the interceptions and penalties.
GO PACK GO! 11-5
Great game but the Pack came up short.
IT IS OFFSEASON!
