Welcome to another edition of the Wigwam Fisherman’s Blog. Well today will be a tough day for me and my entire family…4 years ago today we lost my Father to lung cancer attributed to Agent Orange from Vietnam. My Father always wanted the best for me and our family, as all Fathers do. He wanted me to do whatever made me happy and never
I just received a phone call from my Uncle Eugene (one of my Fathers older brothers) and we shed a few tears in remembrance. As I stated earlier, this will always be a tough day for me and any of my family members…a good man was taken too soon. As my Uncle and I were talking, it reminded me of something that I have told many people, which is, no matter what I was able to accomplish during hockey and in my personal life, I will forever be known as Curtis Tessier’s son in the towns in which my Father resided throughout his life…that should say it all as to the man my Father was. Thanks for the phone call Uncle Eugene…it was greatly appreciated, please give Auntie Jo a big hug from me…I love you guys!
Just a little FYI, if you’re looking to book a trip on the weekend with us at the Wigwam Resort, you had better call and reserve your rooms/cabins today. There is very limited space available during the weekends till the end of March, book now or forever hold your peace. If you’re looking to come midweek (Sunday night – Thursday morning), please give us a call today, we are offering up to 15% off all fishing packages (only) during February and March (only applicable to new reservations). All the packages can be accessed on our website at http://www.wigwamresortlow.com/.
The lures that have still been working well are the “Gold Disco Ball Jigs”, “Stop Signs (Pink or White)”, “Macho Minnows (Pink, Green or White)” and “Chubby Darters/Rapala Rattling Jigs”. You want to be using anything that glows right now to get the best success possible…white and pink have been the best! Remember that Vexilars are not required, but they help immensely when fishing off the bottom and marking suspended fish, which has been a common occurrence these days on Lake of the Woods. So, where I’m going with this one is, get a Vexilar today…you won’t be disappointed!
Announcements…Shamrock will be the live entertainment this weekend (February 12th & 13th). Also, for all of you that have the ability to come midweek don’t miss out on our great specials for February and March. We are offering a total of 15% off for midweek packages (lodging/fishing) and (lodging/fishing/meals)…these are applicable to reservations made after February 1. I have a few groups that are taking major advantage of this deal and they’re on the FISH with the WIGWAM! The Bikini Ice Fishing Team will be here on March 18, 19 & 20. If you’re looking for some great ice fishing deals, checkout the current January specials we are offering on our website http://www.wigwamresortlow.com/. We are running a January special that will give you a discount on packages purchased for January and February 2010. The specials will only last through the rest of January…you can’t beat them!

My shout out today will go to my Mother (Linda), Brother (Ryan) and Sister (Janelle)...I know that we are not able to be together today, but my thoughts are with you all. Stay strong and remember all the fun we used to have on the camping trips and road trips, which we were so lucky to take every summer as a family...I miss you and love you all with all my heart!
Happy Fishing to all, and to all a good day!
