Phil's Words of Wisdom ? & Reports
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
77 degrees, overcast and humid at 8 AM.
Labor Day weekend is just around the corner and local schools start tomorrow. Time to think fall fishing, colors, and hunting.
Water temp is 73 degrees but should be falling soon. The largest musky caught in the Musky Alliance tourney(over 1000 anglers and 20 lakes) was caught (and released) on Lac Vieux Desert--50.5 inches. Jeff Mathwig just caught and released a 49 inch tiger musky Saturday.
WHAT A GREAT SUMMER! Warm and Sunny days and plenty of rain--mostly at night. A week ago friday we got hit by lightning and lost 9 tv's and vcr's, sunrise cable, wireless internet,1 furnace, 1 air conditioning unit several light fixtures and circuits, a fax machine, phone lines, etc... but we did manage to get the Sunrise Open golf tournament in.
The Berghoff beer group last week did well on smallmouth bass and walleyes--caught more walleyes than they could eat. The lake level has risen from as low as we have seen it to right where we would like it in a couple of months. If you were here this spring you won't believe it now. We have had serveral muskies and northerns caught off the dock in the past few weeks. The Webb's have reported lots of crappies and northerns on jig and minnow combo's
The grass and forests are green and the fish are biting!
Who needs Phil to tell ghost stories as this summer we had a duck jump into Daves boat while musky fishing on the Chain and a guest accidently hooked an eagle with a bucktail which quickly spooled his reel and landed on Duck Island--there was a happy ending as they put a musky net over the eagle and got the bucktail unwound from the eagles leg as it never had a hook in it.
David Faulds, a frequent Sunrise guest, was stopping traffic by the fish house with his stringer of 10 walleyes between 17 and 23 inches--another nice catch for David and Gregg Mallick.
We are getting rain and the lake levels are coming up.
Jack Frost of the south Side Musky Hawks was the first Sunrise guest to catch a legal musky for the 2010 season.
A 42 incher.
Activities have started and Jenny the new activity director is doing a great job.
The 16 inch softball games are off to a good start as the boys whipped up on the girls and
Mark Curtis has began his fishing seminars on Sundays as well.
Barb is our naturalist from Trees For Tomorrow.
The Lac Vieux Desert Association All U Can Eat Breakfast was a success and all money goes to fish stocking and lake improvement! It is a win-win.
The dining room is open for 3 meals daily. Hope to see you for Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner soon.
Musky opened on Lac Vieux Desert on May 15.
Good News! Trackside will be renting ski boats next season.
The Thunder Bay boat landing project is complete and the landing is excellent.
We planted over 2000 10-15 inch muskies off the Sunrise pier.
  
They sure are frisky little critters.
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!

Joey and Matt Strauss had a great time and caught some nice fish in July.
Come on up and try your luck.
The Lac Vieux Desert Lake Association planted over 5,000 8-10 inch walleye last 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 May 2010
Show us some of the very nice fish that were caught this season.
