Basically it means there will be nothing on the other location for stretches of 7 months or more. But at least we can keep in touch here.
Now how do we get that word out? I'll try posting it at the other site and hope it doesn't get dusted.

Hi Everyone,
Will be coming back up to LDML after a couple years away. Can’t wait. We had always stayed at Thunderbird but had heard great things about Lac Des Mille Lodge being very kid friendly so we decided to try the trip with our four kids (ages 4-12) and a niece and nephew. Never stayed there before so we are cautiously excited. Most nervous to me is we have never fished North of the Honkonen so that region of the lake will be new to us. We are primarily targeting walleye but with the kids, any tips for spots with Smallie action in that part of the lake would be appreciated. I would love any suggestions for areas to target in that part of the lake. A direct message to me would be awesome. We are leaving Sunday so any suggestions on artificials that have been hitting would be helpful not knowing what the bait situation is there either. If available, we will likely go to our typical jig and minnow. So pumped. We will be in cabin 10 (starting Monday the 11th) for anyone on here that wants to share a couple beers and fish stories. Look for a big guy with 4 kids. Tight lines everyone.
Water level is falling pretty fast.

Fishing remains good even with all the wind.
Illinois Angler...to answer your internet question, no, there has been no upgrade to the internet. Spotty service from the bench outside the office is all they are providing again this year.
I have internet access through a created "hotspot" on my wife's phone----an iPhone 8+. My 6S doesn't work. Last year I bought a cellphone signal booster and it gives me access, but I haven't "climbed the tree" to install it this year. I'm sure once I do that, my phone will also work for creating the hotspot that gives me internet access from the motorhome.
I hope I answered your question. Neighbor bought the phone card, but could not get it to work at the payphone. Probably a temporary condition we have all faced in the past.
So, if you have a dire need for phone, you can always come to the motorhome and use my signal or phone.
Travel safe.....

Nice to hear you made it back up Planocat, how are you posting? Did they get the Wi-Fi working? Is the high water affecting the fishing any ? I’m leaving tomorrow and will be there Thursday, I’ll stop by and listen to your story, funny how the biggest ones always gets away ??
Another great afternoon on LDML. Limits of walleye (although my wife kicked my butt) and a wonderful dinner. Bite was as light as I have seen with line movement or dead weight the only clue that there was interest in the minnow tipped jigs in 12 to 15" of water.
38 yrs at LDML / Pine Point Resort and I am still in awe of the beauty of this lake and its ability to produce treasured fishing experiences. There just aren't many places like this one.
It is a long way from Texas, but worth every mile. Border crossing was a breeze using their ArriveCan app, so come on up. We're in our usual site #2 through August, so stop by and say "Howdy", I'd love to tell you about the big one that got away.
