I intend to do ALL I can to insure that there is PLENTY of walleye on the plate! I will be heading straight for MY ROCK!!

In good years, at the best time of year, I take 60 fish off that rock. Then I quit. It normally takes 10 days fishing with a 6 fish limit. Short days too. Get those six keepers in a couple hours. I could limit out quicker but I am picky about what I keep. Can't be under 15" and I have a personal high side of 18".

You are never sure what will happen on a long weekend but we stayed out as is our custom. Sitting in Denver, just got booked on two loads. First picks up today and delivers straight through. Next picks up at that location and takes us cross country. We'll be working all weekend for $1.80 per mile all miles and end up in a good freight area on Tuesday morning. We don't like to run at that rate often but given the long weekend, two long runs and good final delivery location we took it.

We're working long also.
Our carrier has weekend premium.
Also higher rates, at least this weekend.

If you weren't retiring, I'd give you a number. ;)

Seriously, enjoy the weekend and be safe.
