highdrifter Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Congratulations!! I worked for Tomahawk myself... You'll be working for their biggest competitors.. You'll be fishing Dog Bone Reef a lot.. If you take a family out, there's an island not far from there that has a nesting pair of bald eagles.. A good way to make an extra tip is to chuck a wounded perch close to the boat. Tell the folk in your boat to sit still and get their cameras ready.. The sound of an eagle circling your boat to take a fish will make your jaw drop!! Good luck out there and don't forget your maps. I got lost more than once!! Good luck dude!

HD I may end up out there again this summer Fidel(if my bud's mother-in-law does not sell her island place), where is Dog Bone reef in relation to Wiley Point Lodge?? And yeah, bald eagles are flippin' everywhere on this lake. You can sometimes do a complete 180 degree lookabout and see 4-6 of them either flying around or sitting in a tree scanning the water. Which lodges do Tomahawk operate, BTW?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
