Jeff Robl - Bobber Down Guide Service,
Early into my guiding career I met a nationally known walleye fisherman at a boat landing on the Turtle Flambeau Flowage. I met up with him again at the end of the day and he thanked me and my son for the minnows we gave him and a tip on a spot to try that turned out to be full of walleyes. At the landing at days end he was gracious enough to spend a long time talking to my son and I about the fishing business. I told him I wasn't sure a guy could make a living being a fishing guide but I was going to give it my all. He told me if you do a good job for people it won't take long and you will have all the business you can handle. I was skeptical but really appreciated his optimism and insights. On the drive home, I told Jack that was like meeting Tiger woods on the golf course and giving him a tip on the game of golf. I won't mention his name some of you have heard the story, not only a great fisherman but a great guy.
Apparently I'm doing something right, with very little advertising I have been REALLY busy, his prediction was right.
Sincerely, I want to thank everyone who has been willing to spend a day in the boat with me, it is a beautiful place to make your living.
A few highlights this season, new boat, when you pay that much money for a boat is anyone really going to say they don't like their new boat? Jack just changed the oil tonight for me, third time this season 325 run hours on the motor, I like the boat, really! like the boat. From a guide standpoint can't think of anything I would change, 20' Skeeter WX2000T.
A chance to do my third TV show, this time with Larry Smith Outdoors, what a fun guy to fish with! I thought the show came out pretty well, it was fishing the flowage in early June. The show is on my web site.
I enjoy writing, though not easy during the fishing season. I wrote my third article for Badger Sportsman magazine, two on fishing and one deer hunting. The latest one was in the July/August Issue, trying to be objective but honestly have never seen a more informative article on fishing the TFF. I wanted to get this e-mail letter out while the magazine was on the shelf at stores but have "been too darn busy fishing". I talked to Chris Carns at Badger Sportsman he said he could send out that issue to about the first 100 people for free if they subscribed for a year. If you are interested in "hunting", "fishing", "berry picking", "maple syrup making", "mushroom hunting", "improving or creating your food plot(s)!"; my favorite and a lot of other outdoor pursuits in Wisconsin it is an awesome! magazine with some real "hands on" information on hunting and fishing in Wisconsin, Please let me know and I will pass your name on to Chris.
Fishing has been good this year overall, there were a few slower times, June, a great month for fishing was good most days but there were a few days we faced some massive mayfly hatches, one day the biggest hatch I've ever seen. Like last year( but not all years) mid July thru August got slow for walleyes but the panfish (perch, big bluegills and crappies) really picked up the slack.
Wanted to get this e-mail correspondence out to previous customers, if you have already booked a trip with me I have it written down just wanted to let customers know my schedule in September is a little more limited this year because, I will be in Alaska from the 17th thru the 27th, my son Jack would be available the 18th, 24th or 25th otherwise my good friend Don Pemble may be available the other days between the 17th-27th.
Summer is winding down, the years are going by too fast, I guess a consolation is the upcoming fall fishing and hunting season; my favorite time of the year.
Thank you for fishing with me, it is a wonderful life.
I am looking forward to the fall bite.
Thank you,
-Jeff
