mitch 7 Report post Posted August 9, 2015 there are a group of guys that put a small down payment down. but nothing is set in stone yet. they all ice fish and have shacks Im sure they will want to keep things going out there.. Gary is a great guy. so im not sure what is meant by they will b better. give the guy a break. sure hes a little grumpy at times but you cant blame him there are some real dummies out there who drive too fast on the ice. blow by the garage without checking in etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fish9876 Report post Posted August 9, 2015 Ya Mitch everyone complains about him until hes risking his life to get their shacks off the ice last minute lol. Plus the things you mentioned I dont blame the guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mitch 7 Report post Posted August 9, 2015 Exactly I'm sure anyone who ends up running it out there won't put up any of that as well. I know I wouldn't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted August 9, 2015 He's not just grumpy he charges whatever he wants, if he doesn't like the colour of your truck he'll charge you more or if he's in a bad mood he'll charge you more. I called one time to ask the cost, told him how many trucks and how many guys, and was there within 2 hours of calling, got there and he charged me double what he said on the phone. I told him I called and he just said "tough times". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted August 9, 2015 It was always a gamble on what he would charge. For a truck with 5 guys I've paid between 10 and 50 bucks. Usually the high end. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speckmaster 114 Report post Posted August 10, 2015 I've had similar experiences. When you're in business you need to provide consistent customer service...and that's something he didn't do regardless of the fact that some people are going to be morons. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fish9876 Report post Posted August 10, 2015 Well hopefully were still allowed to use the landing to access the lake. I hope the new owners will allow it. I dont care if theres a fee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishman1 164 Report post Posted August 11, 2015 Sawmill bay resort provides access. So Gary's is not an issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SILVER MINNOW BAIT SHOP 129 Report post Posted August 11, 2015 I agree with Gary being a great guy, yes grumpy and yea I dont agree with some things he does but its one of those things, until you put your feet in his shoes dont complain. And if you dont agree with what he is doing then find another access point that you feel is better. Personally, I have been helped many times by Gary while on his property and appreciate everything he does out there.As for prices, where else can you store your crap all year for $300.00 a year? And usually that is split between whoever you own your shack with so for me its $150.00 a year. Go rent a cabin for one weekend and your paying more than that or try to store something the size of a shack somewhere and most likely a minimum of 100.00 per month. I know if it were me who owned the property i would be charging alot more than that and it would most likely be on a monthly basis. So for those who dont want their shacks there over the summer would have to haul them away. Just seems like people are quick to complain but arent the ones doing all the work out there. 1 Quote Silver Minnow Bait Shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WalleyeWayne 137 Report post Posted October 21, 2015 If it in fact has been sold, expect an increase in costs. Most anytime a service is sold people look to recoup costs asap. I've been going out there for many, many years both on day and overnight trips and have no issue with the cost structure. There's an access road and storage - what more do you want? Sometimes you never really realize what you have until it's gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted October 21, 2015 I've expected an increase in cost every time I've ever gone out there. I'm glad to see it sold and am willing to pay a consistent fee, if it in fact stays that, consistent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisYaright 20 Report post Posted October 21, 2015 I've expected an increase in cost every time I've ever gone out there. I'm glad to see it sold and am willing to pay a consistent fee, if it in fact stays that, consistent. The consistent fee per vehicle is written on the wall outside the main garage, along with the shack storage price. Maybe he's charging you more because your difficult or don't listen to the rules? but, I don't know for sure. I do know that the place has been sold, papers were signed and the new owners are getting help with the way things are run around the property. From what I have heard is that the new owners are great guys who all own shacks and want to keep things running the same as they are now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
