Some of you that are from warmer climates may not understand the term fishoree as it relates to Wisconsin in January. Standing around or sitting in an "ice shantie" on 16-18 inches of lake ice waiting for a flag on a tip up or the word "Flag" to be yelled out.
Fishoree is a fishing contest with prizes awarded for largest fish in a category and door prizes as well. Wingers in Oconomowoc,_Wisconsin according to Rich Winger, has be running fishorees for around 50 years. A tradition that has a large following as on a very foggy morning hundreds of people gathered on the ice of Fowler Lake for the annual Wingers Tap Fishoree. Now if you are a little nervous about driving on icy roads this might be a little much for you Fowler Lake is in excess of 50 feet deep in some areas with a river running through it. Add up to 200 cars and pick up trucks (some what spread out and some very close together) and might you be a little jumpy as the ice cracks a little when a pickup goes by.
I and my side kick Spencer Braatz (yes Active Rainers -Tom Braatz's son)had entered to try our luck at winning. I arrived late at 5:15 AM to an area we had prefished the day before to figure out depths and weed lines etc. There were already 75- 100 cars on the ice and our "spot" was pretty tightly packed already with tip ups. While waiting for Spencer to be dropped off I hand augured a few holes in the ice and set some tip ups. Spencer found my van on the ice in the fog and his dad called to ask where I was. I was set up 70 yards away in the fishing circus.
We had not have much fishing action with the tip ups for northern pike so I decided to fish with some heavy line in Spencers two man Fabrill Ice Shantie. Thanks to Spencer watching while I was making some line ajustments I caught and released our first northern pike (did not make the 26 inch requirement). We lost 2 more in the shantie but Spencer end-up catching a 27.5 inch 4 lb. 15 ounce northern on a tip up that took fourth place in the Wingers Tap Fishoree. Another great day on the ice and a great thing to take a kid fishing.
Thank you to Rich Winger and his crew at Wingers Tap Oconomowoc WI for putting on the Fishoree.

I service, and more importantly see you at closing in all of Waukesha, Jefferson, Dodge,Milwaukee, Walworth Counties, and beyond. When you want a Realtor that will put you first call, call Glenn Shon
Hello, and my name is Glenn Shong. You are going to want to take some time and get to know me. I am not your average Broker, and I have the friends, colleagues, and fellow brokers to back me up on that on.
When I got into Real Estate in 1986 I soon realized that I wanted to make a difference from being like the average Realtor. After all, I had been in Vietnam, I worked as a milk man, and I have had the chance to have a number of jobs and positions that allowed me to get to know people, and to further get to know what people really wanted in life.
My general conclusion was that I wanted people to treat me the same as I would treat them. Hence, the application of the Golden Rule, and the start of Glenn Shong building A Real Estate career that would be unparalleled with any other Realtor located in South Eastern, Wisconsin
Over the years I have had the insight and direction to know that I always had to stay one step ahead of my competition. I started out as Residential Real Estate, which has blossomed into Commercial, Investment, Industrial, land development, portfolio building, leasing, Water properties, luxury homes, and New Construction.
I have made a living doing what I do best; enjoying people. I believe that every customer and client should be treated as if they were my first, and my only customer, or client. I should give people my undivided attention at all times, and they should be able to call me, or sit down with me when they want to, and together we work on rolling up our sleeves so we can accomplish their goals. They have that commitment from me, and they always will, that is what I pledge to you as a new client or customer, or a friend that started out as a client or customer. Give me a call or shoot me an email especially if you ar looking for an Waukesha County Real Estate Agent in the Oconomowc, Hartland, Delafield and Dousman Area

I have known Glenn Shong for years, and everytime I walk away from a meeting or conversation with Glenn I am amazed at how much I have learned. Glenn could have easily been a teacher with all the knowledge, compassion, and determination that he presents. Being around Glenn is like watching a plant grow; it is a process of photo synthesis, and reaching for the light to allow for further growth. Always a postive attitude and process. He cannot help but rub off on you. I am very fortunate to know him.
