It's A Tough Job But Somebody Has To Do It!!

As you can see I am hard at it at the Bassmaster Classic!  It was a very busy day today, but we were able to make time for a pic with a few of the Hooters girls.    Our booth is in a great location and we had a ton of traffic today.  I can not imagine how crazy it is going to be tomorrow and Sunday. 

Charlie Hartley leads after day one with the likes of Scott Rook, KVD, Scroggins, and other big names looming.  Watch for guys like Iac and Casey Ashley to bring in nice bags again tomorrow.   There are only about 15 guys in striking distance.  A few of these guys are on the right fish, and watch for them to move up tomorrow when other guys falter.  It was nasty on the water today.  40, windy, and rainy is far from ideal when you are trying to fish on open water for $500,000.  Back at it tomorrow and will update with more info tomorrow night. 

Ice Fishing Rate Increase

As of Jan 01 2008, My ice fishing guide trip rate increased to $125 per person for 4 hrs to off set the rising costs of everything involved.  This way the service you have all come to count on will continue to stay exceptional.    Thanks Matt 

Look Out Whitetail Buck Deer

Headed to Rushford, MN today to hunt whitetail buck deer.  Hopefully will come back with a success story of a giant buck.  Will report back with pictures and stories early next week.  I also have some other good news to report about, but you will just have to wait.  Watch for a summer/end of year wrap up some time next week with pictures and stories from this summers blooper's.  For those of you that joined me for a day on the water and didn't see your picture up here, watch for it soon.  Thanks to everyone that I was able to fish with and I look forward to many more years of service and memories.  Thanks to my sponsors and all the people that enable me to do what I love. 

Lastly, ice fishing is right around the corner.  The lakes in the west metro had ice on them this morning.  If you would like to set up some ice fishing this winter please e-mail me.  Our first trip to LOW is booked for Thanksgiving week, only three weeks away.  Keep your fingers crossed.    Red lake, Waconia, Minnetonka, or where ever your destination, let us put you on more fish this winter.  "Stop Fishing, Start Catching" - fishwithmatt.com 

Pictures from Table Rock

View of Table Rock from our deck.  It was very hot the first few days.   

Many boats on the water in pursuit of White Bass. 

Chateau On The Lake on top of the hill in background.  This was a very nice place to stay.  I can not say enough about how friendly and helpful the people were.  Picture taken from the dam.

Johnny Morris's Big Cedar Lodge.  We had to pay a visit to the floating Bass Pro Shops.  This resort was absolutely beautiful.  I would have to say this was the most amazing resort I have ever visited.  Lots of honeymooners.  Didn't realize that Branson, MO was such a vacation spot.   

The entrance to the floating Bass Pro and marina.  Was a neat place to visit.

Fun sign that was on the hill heading towards Big Cedar.
